Connecting the machine

Before connecting the power supply, make sure that the voltage and frequency shown on the
machine is conforming with your electrical power.

Place the machine on a stable table.

1. Connect the power line cord to the machine by inserting the 2-hole plug into the terminal box.

2. Connect the power line plug to the electric outlet.

3. Turn on the power switch.

4. The sewing lamp will light up when the switch is turned on.

To disconnect, turn the power switch to the off position, then remove plug from outlet.

Polarized plug information

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other),
to reduce the risk of electrical shock; this plug will 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. Do not
modify the plug in any way.

STARTING SEWING

Foot control

With the sewing machine turned off,
insert the foot control plug into its
connector on the sewing machine.

Turn on the sewing machine, and then
slowly depress the foot control to start
sewing.

Release the foot control to stop the
sewing machine.

Attention: Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt as how to connect the machine to
the power source. Unplug the power cord when the machine is not in use.

The appliance must be used with the foot controller C-9000 manufactured by CHIEN
HUNG TAIWAN., LTD.

ADJUSTING PRESSER FOOT PRESSURE

The presser foot pressure of the
machine has been pre-set and requires
no particular readjustment according to
the type of fabric (light-or-heavy weight).

However, if you need to adjust the
presser foot pressure, turn the presser
adjusting screw with a coin.

For sewing very heavy fabric, loosen the
pressure by turning the screw counter
clockwise, and for thin fabric, tighten by
turning it clockwise.
