instructions before using this machine.
DANGER
To reduce the risk of electric shock:
* The machine should never be left unattended when plugged in. Always unplug the machine from the electric outlet immediately after using and before cleaning.
* Always unplug before changing light bulb. Replace bulb with the same type rated 15 watts. Be sure to replace the face plate which covers the light bulb before operating the machine.
WARNING

* Be sure that the electrical voltage of the socket outlet (wall receptacle) is the same as the rated voltage of the motor.
* Use this machine only for its intended use as described in this Operator's Guide. Use only attachments recommended by the manufacturer as contained in the Operator's Guide.
*To disconnect, turn all controls to the off ("0") position, then remove plug from outlet.
*Disconnect the power-line plug from the socket outlet or switch the machine off when making any adjustments in the needle area, such as threading needle, changing
needle, changing needle plate or changing presser
foot, etc.
* Always unplug the machine from the electrical outlet when removing covers, lubricating, or when making any other user servicing adjustments mentioned in the Operator's Guide.
* Do not attempt to adjust the motor belt. Contact your nearest Service Center should any adjustment be required.
*Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
