For Your Safety:

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.

*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.
