while sewing as these are potential sources of injury to fingers. Movements within the area of the needle, knife or
looper such as threading, changing needles or presser feet, or raising the knife, may only be done with the machine
switched off (power switch at “O”). When cleaning or lubricating the machine replacing the bulb or when sewing is
finished, machine should be disconnected from the electricity supply. All repair work, especially electrical repairs
(e.g. renewing the cable connection out by one of our authorized service agencies.

Preparing the machine
Thread cones/spools
The anti-vibration cone should be used with the wider edge
at the bottom on the spool holder pin when sewing with
cones.
Large spools
