5. Setting up
• Place the sewing machine on a
steady worktop.
ᕡ Connect the foot switch ậ to the
machine
ᕢ Insert the power plug in a power
socket.
If the worktop is not completely even,
you can compensate for slight uneven-
ness as follows:
ᕣ Pull out the box compartment to the
side, as shown.
ᕤ The adjusting foot should now be
visible underneath. This can be
adjusted by turning in either direc-
tion, to ensure that the sewing
machine is steady.
The box compartment can now be sim-
ply pushed back – for example if you
need it as an 'extension flap' for sewing
larger areas of material.
However, you can also leave the
compartment box detached, for exam-
ple for free-arm sewing on sleeves,
trouser legs, etc.
6. Switching On / Off
You should familiarize yourself with
these methods of switching on and off,
so that you can take the correct action
in the event of an emergency:
ᕥ The lamp can be turned on and off
by using the switch.
ᕡ Pulling out the foot switch plug cuts
off power to the machine.
ᕢ Pulling out the power plug from the
power socket cuts off power to both
the machine and the foot switch.
