KNOWING YOUR SEWING MACHINE To turn off the machine, set the main power c switch to "{". X The sewing lamp goes off when the machine is turned off. Note ● If a power outage occurs while the sewing machine is being operated, turn off the sewing machine and unplug the power supply cord. When restarting the sewing machine, follow the necessary procedure to correctly operate the machine. (For U.S.A. only) ● This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way. Foot controller CAUTION ● When connecting the foot controller, be sure to turn off the sewing machine in order to prevent the machine from accidentally being started. When you press the foot controller down lightly, the machine will run at a low speed. When you press harder, the machine's speed will increase. When you take your foot off the foot controller, the machine will stop. Slower Faster You should make sure that nothing is placed on the foot controller when the machine is not in use. CAUTION ● Do not allow pieces of cloth and dust to build up on the foot controller. Doing so could cause a fire or an electric shock. ● A new sewing machine or one that has not been in use for a long period of time should be oiled as described on page 39. After oiling, be sure to wipe off any excess oil. Steadying the machine If the sewing machine has been placed on an uneven surface, turn the rubber cushion in the right-front corner of the base plate to adjust its height until the sewing machine is stable. 9
