When leaving the machine unattended, the main switch of the machine should be switched off or the plug must be removed from the socket-out- let.

When servicing the machine, or when removing covers or changing bulbs, the machine or the electrical set must be unplugged.

For U.S.A. only

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electrical 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.

You can use the knee lifter to raise and lower the presser foot without using your hands, so it is convenient for quilting and other similar projects.

To attach, angle the knee lifter about 20 degrees to the left and insert it into the mounting slot as far as possible.

CAUTION

If the knee lifter is not pushed into the mounting slot as far as possible, it may come out during use.

Use your knee to move the knee lifter to the right in order to raise the presser foot. Release to the left for the presser foot to lower.

CAUTION

Be sure to keep your knee away from the knee lifter during sewing. If the machine is operated while the knee lifter is pushed, the needle may break or the thread tension may loosen.

CAUTION

Do not allow fabric pieces and dust to collect in the foot controller. Doing so could cause a fire or an electric shock.

1.With the machine turned off, insert the foot controller plug into its jack on the machine.

BASIC OPERATION

Connecting the Power

WARNING

Use only regular household electricity for the power source. Using other power sources may result in fire, electric shock, or damage to the machine.

• Turn off the main power and remove the plug in the following circumstances: - When you are away from the machine

- After using the machine

- When the power fails during use

- When the machine does not operate correctly due to a bad connection or a disconnection

- During electrical storms

CAUTION

Do not use extension cords or multi-plug adapters with many other appliances plugged in to them. Fire or electric shock may result.

Do not touch the plug with wet hands. Electric shock may result.

When unplugging the machine, always turn off the main power first. Always grasp the plug to remove it from the outlet. Pulling on the cord may damage the cord, or lead to fire or electric shock.

Do not allow the power cord to be cut, damaged, modified, forcefully bent, pulled, twisted, or bundled. Do not place heavy objects on the cord. Do not subject the cord to heat. These things may damage the cord and cause fire or electric shock. If the cord or plug is damaged, take the machine to your authorized dealer for repairs before continuing use.

Unplug the power cord if the machine is not to be used for a long period of time. Otherwise a fire may result.

1. Insert the power cord into the cord jack, then insert the plug into a wall outlet.

Using the LCD Display

Press a key with your finger to select the stitch pattern, or to select a machine function, or operation indicated on the key.

CAUTION

Only touch the screen with your finger or the included touch pen. Do not use a sharp pencil, screwdriver, or other hard or sharp object. It is not necessary to press hard on the screen. Pressing too hard or using a sharp object may damage the screen.

Adjusting Screen Brightness

CAUTION

• All or part of the screen may sometimes become darker or lighter because of changes in the air temperature or other changes in the environment around the screen. This is normal and is not a sign of malfunction. Adjust the screen if it is difficult to read.

• The screen may be dark immediately after turning on the power. This is a function of the LCD back light screen, and it is not a sign of malfunction. The screen will return to its normal level of brightness after approximately 10 minutes.

• If you are not directly in front of the machine when you view the LCD, the colors may appear to change or the screen may be difficult to see. This is a characteristic of the LCD, and not a sign of damage or malfunction. For best results operate the screen while sitting in front of the machine.
