4. Notes on safety
Like any other electrical device, a
sewing machine can cause serious,
even life-threatening injuries. To avoid
this, and in order to work safely:
• Always pull out the power plug
when you are not at the machine.
This will prevent the risk of accidents
if the machine is switched on acci-
dentally.
• Pull out the power plug before
replacing the bulb, or when carry-
ing out maintenance work on the
machine.
This will prevent possibly life-threat-
ening electric shocks.
• Only use the sewing machine in
dry rooms.
• If damage is visible on the sewing
machine, or the foot switch, or the
power cord: Have the damage
repaired by Customer Service, before
using the sewing machine again.
• Do not allow children or elderly
persons to handle the machine
unsupervised – these are not always
able to recognize potential dangers.
Keep electrically powered tools out
of the reach of children.
4. Notes on safety
Warning!
Possible injury and material damage:
As a user of electrical appliances,
you are legally required to prevent
possible accidents by taking the
appropriate safety measures:
• Keep your work space tidy. An
untidy workplace can lead to acci-
dents.
• Provide adequate lighting when
working!
• Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
ellery, as these can be caught in the
moving parts. For the same reason,
you should also wear a hair net if
you have long hair.
• Avoid adopting any unusual pos-
ture. Remain steady and in a well-
balanced position at all times.
• Be alert! Pay attention to what you
are doing. Always take a rational
approach to your work. Never work
with the sewing machine if you are
unable to concentrate or if you are
feeling unwell!
If accidents occur as a result of han-
dling the machine with insufficient care,
or failure to follow the safety instruc-
tions in this manual, then the manufac-
turer cannot accept liability.
