Grounding instruction (for type of 120V)
This product must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a
risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or
without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the cord
or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the product – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120 V circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the
plug illustrated in sketch A in Figure. A temporary adaptor, which looks like the adaptor illustrated in sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in
sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should be used
only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be
held in place by the metal screw.

BACKING MATERIALS

Backing
Generally, Backing is used for hooped embroidery fabric. Knit fabrics particularly require the use
of embroidery backings.
Embroidery backings will allow the hoop to move the fabric more accurately, creating a more
beautiful embroidery.
Select backing type
Choose the thickness and number of sheets by the type of material and embroidery condition.
Generally, you should consider the following items.
•Embroidery stitch quality
•Contraction or compression of fabric caused by sewing, etc.
•Stiffness of fabric
In case, if you sew lace and leather, you may not need backing sheet.
