Operating the Machine
Connecting the Machine
® Before plugging in your machine, be
sure the electrical information on the
side of the machine A, below the
hand wheel, agrees with the range
marked on your electrical meter.
fMPORTANT Machines for Great

similar wiring standards are shipped
from the factory without a plug for
connection to the mains.
The wires in the main lead are coloured
according to code.
Bfue: Neutral (N)
Brown: Live (L)
As the colours of the wires in the main
lead of this appliance may not always
correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows:
Tlie wire which is coloured blue must be
connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter N or coloured
black.
The wire which is coloured brown must
be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter L or coloured red.
If a 13 amp (BS 1363) plug is used, a 3
amp fuse must be fitted, or if any other
type of plug is used, a 5 amp fuse must
be fitted either in the plug or adaptor or
at the distribution board,
e To turn on the machine, conrrect plug
B to machine and plug C to your
socket outlet,
9 To turn on the sewing light, press or
turn switch D as required. See
illustration.
9 To run the machine and control
speed, press the speed controller E
with your foot, i'he harder you press,
the faster the machine will sew.
