The instructions should be available at the machine's location at all times.
Work on live components and equipment is prohibited. Exceptions are defined in the regulations set forth in DIN VDE 0105.
For the following work, the machine must be disconnected from the power supply using the main switch or by disconnecting the power plug:
• Replacing the needle or other sewing tools
• Leaving the workplace
• Performing maintenance work and repairs
• Threading
Missing or faulty spare parts could impair safety and damage the machine. Make sure you only use original replacement parts from the manufacturer.
Transport Use a sturdy lifting carriage or stacker for transporting the machine. Raise
the machine max. 20 mm and secure it against slipping off.
Setup The power cable must have a plug authorized for the country in which the
machine is being used. The power plug may only be connected to the power cable by a qualified specialist.
Obligations
of the operator
Observe the country-specific safety and accident prevention regulations and the legal regulations concerning industrial safety and the protection of the environment.
All warnings and safety signs on the machine must always be in legible condition and may not be removed. Missing or damaged labels should be replaced immediately.
Requirements
to be met by
the personnel
The machine may only be set up by qualified technicians.
Maintenance work and repairs may only be carried out by qualified tech­nicians.
Work on electrical equipment may only be carried out by qualified special­ists.
Only authorized persons may work on the machine. Every person who works on the machine must first have understood these instructions.
Service Instructions 911-211 - 00.0 - 02/2015 5
Safety
Operation Inspect the machine while in use for any externally visible damage. Stop
working if you notice any changes to the machine. Report any changes to your supervisor. A damaged machine must no longer be used.

together
The setting positions for the sewing machine are interdependent.
Always adhere to the specified sequence for the individual setting steps.
Always observe all information on requirements and following settings marked at the side with .
NOTICE
Machine damage possible due to incorrect sequence.
It is essential to adhere to the working sequence specified in these instructions.

3.2 Cable routing

Lay all cables in the machine such that moving parts are not impaired in their ability to function correctly.
1. Lay any excess cabling neatly in proper cable snakes.
2. Tie the snakes together using a cable tie.
If possible, bind the snakes to fixed parts. The cables must be fixed firmly in place.
3. Cut off any protruding part of the cable tie.
