INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Before use:
- Make sure that all the product's packaging has been removed.
- Some parts of the appliance have been lightly greased. Consequently,
the first time the appliance is used a light smoke may be detected.
After a short time, this smoke will disappear.
- Prepare the appliance according to the function you wish to use:
Using the foot pedal and adaptor
- Connect the foot pedal by inserting the jack into the foot pedal input
socket. Then you can use the foot pedal turn on the machine instead
of using the hand switch (Power off and speed switch), so it's easy
and convenient.
- Connect the adaptor's jack to the DC input socket (7) on the back of
the machine, and connect the plug to the main power supply.
- CAUTION: make sure the foot pedal is unplugged from the machine
when you're not using it, so the sewing machine won't accidentally
start up.
Needle replacement
- If the needle breaks, or you need a different needle to sew a different
kind of fabric, just follow these steps.
- CAUTION: To prevent injury from accidentally starting up the machine,
make sure to turn off the switch, remove the foot pedal and the adap-
tor plug.
- 1. Turn the hand wheel to raise the needle to its highest position. Hold
the old needles and loosen the needle clamp screw. Remove the old
needle and discard responsibly (Fig.1).
- 2. Insert the new needle into the clamp with the flat side toward the
correct direction (to the back). Be sure to push the needle completely
into the clamp before tightening the needle clamp screw.
- 3. Tighten the needle clamp screw.
- CAUTION: Needle direction must be correct and be sure to tighten the
thimble screw, to avoid needle fall by accident.
