● To avoid being injured, watch the needle carefully while you are using the machine. Keep
your hands away from moving parts.
● Do not stretch or pull the fabric during sewing, otherwise the needle may be damaged and
you may be injured.
● Do not use bent or broken needles, otherwise you may be injured.
● Take care that the needle does not hit basting pins or other objects during sewing. The needle
may break and you may be injured.
● Always use the correct presser foot. If you use the wrong presser foot, the needle may hit the
presser foot and bend or break and you may be injured.
● When you turn the handwheel by hand, always turn it toward you (counterclockwise).
Turning it the other way may cause the thread to tangle and damage the needle or fabric, and
you may be injured.
● Do not start sewing without placing the fabric under the presser foot, otherwise the presser
foot may be damaged.
●
Do not turn on the machine while pressing
down the foot controller. The machine
may start unexpectedly and cause
personal injury or damage to the machine.
