Operating Instructions:
• The symbol “O” of a switch indicates the
“off” position of a switch.
• For appliances with a polarized plug (one
blade wider than the other): To reduce the
risk of electric shock, this plug is intended
to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If
it 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.
Foot controller Model YC-482-J
is for use with sewing
machine model 900P.
Controlling Sewing Speed
Sewing speed can be varied by the foot control.
The harder you press on the control, the faster the
machine runs.
Step on the foot control with the presser foot lifter up, and
practice controlling the speed.
q Foot control
For Your Safety:
* While the machine is in operation, always keep your
eyes on the sewing area, and do not touch any moving
parts such as the thread take-up lever, loopers,
handwheel or needles.
*Always disconnect the machine from the power
supply:
— when leaving the machine unattended.
— when attaching or removing parts.
— when threading or cleaning the machine.
* Do not place anything on the foot control,
except when the machine is in use.
