Switch off the power, fit the nonreversible plug into the machine socket and plug the machine into the power supply.
Switch on the power.
Operating Instructions:
The symbol "O" of a switch indicates the "off" position of a switch.
For an appliance with a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other): To r
educe the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a
pola
rized outlet only one way.
If i

cont
act a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.
Do not modify the plug in any way.

foot controller Model YC-482J or TJC-150 is used with this sewing
mac
hine (USA market only).
Whil
e in operation, always keep your eyes on the sewing area, and do not
touc
h any moving parts such as the thread take-up lever, handwheel
or needle.
Alwa
ys turn off the power switch and unplug from the power supply:
- wh
en leaving the machine unattended.
- wh
en attaching or removing parts.
- when cleaning the machine. Do not place anything on the foot control, otherwise the machine will run intermittently.

•
In general, fine threads and needles are used for sewing thin fabrics, and thicker threads and needles are used for sewing heavy fabrics. Always test thread and needle size on a small piece of fabric which will be used for actual sewing.
•
Use the same thread for needle and bobbin.
•
When sewing stretch, very fine fabrics and synthetics, use a BLUE TIPPED needle. The blue tipped needle effectively prevents skipped stitches.
•
When sewing very fine fabrics, sew over a piece of paper to prevent yarn distortion.
