5. Safety instructions
Like any other electrical device, a sewing machine can cause serious, even life-threatening injuries. To avoid this, and in order to work safely:
•Before initial use of your sewing machine, read these operating instructions thoroughly.
•Keep the operating instructions in a suitable place near the machine. When passing the appliance on to others, always enclose the operating instructions.
•Always disconnect the power supply when leaving the machine unattended. This will prevent the risk of accidents if the machine is switched on accidentally.
•First pull the power plug before changing the bulb or performing maintenance work on the machine.
This will prevent possibly life-threatening electric shocks.
•Do not remove the plug from the socket by pulling on the cable. Always grip the plug and not the cable when pulling out the power plug.
•Only use the sewing machine in dry rooms.
•In case of any visible damage on the machine, the foot switch or the power cable: Have the damage repaired by Customer Service before using the sewing machine again.
•Never let children or elderly persons handle the machine unsupervised because they may not properly appreciate the possible dangers. Keep electrical appliances outside the reach of children.
•Never use the machine when the ventilation apertures are blocked. Keep the ventilation apertures of the machine and the foot switch free from fluff, dust and waste material.
