diately.
• To avoid risks, do not operate the sewing machine if the machine or the mains cable dis-

the manufacturer's customer service department or a similarly qualified person.

• Place the sewing machine on a sturdy, level work surface.
• During operation, the air vents must not be blocked: Do not allow any objects (e.g. dust,
threads, etc.) to enter the vents.
• Keep the foot control free of lint, dust and textile waste.
• Do not place any objects on the foot pedal.

• Only use special sewing machine oil to lubricate the machine. Do not use any other liq-
uids.

a risk of injury – even when the machine has been turned off.
• When sewing, make sure that your fingers are never underneath the needle clamp screw.
• Do not use bent or blunt needles.
• When sewing, do not hold the fabric tight or pull the fabric. The needles could break.
• When you have finished sewing, always move the needle to its highest position.
