IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using this machine, basic safety precautions should always be followed

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 blub
before operating the machine.
WARNING.
To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock or injury to persons:
■ 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
Guioe. 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.
n Handle the foot controller with care and avoid dropping it on the floor.
Be sure not to place anything on top of it.
■ Always use the proper needle plate. The wrong plate can cause the needle
to break.
■ Do not use bent needles.
■ When sewing, keep fingers away from all moving parts. Special care is
required around the sewing machine needle.
■ Do not pull or push fabric while stitching. This may deflect the needle causing
it to break,
■ Before removing the bobbin case, remove plug from the socket outlet.
■ For double insulated machines, when servicing, use only identical Singer
replacement parts. See instructions for Servicing of Double-Insulated
Appliances.
■ Never operate the machine if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not
working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged, or dropped into
water. Return the machine to the nearest authorized dealer or Service Center
for examination, repair, electrical, or mechanical adjustment.
■ Never operate the machine with any air openings blocked. Keep ventilation
openings of the machine and foot controller free from the accumulation of
lint, dust, and loose cloth.

■ Do not use outdoors.
■ Do not operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where
oxygen is being administered.
■ Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when the
machine is used by or near children.
■ SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED PRODUCTS. In a double-insulated
product, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No
grounding means is provided on a double-insulated product, nor should a means
for grounding be added to the product. Servicing of a double-insulated product
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be done
only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated
product must be identical to those parts in the product. A double-insulated
product is marked with the words “DOUBLE-INSULATION” or “DOUBLE
INSULATED”,
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
This product is intended for household use.
FOR EUROPEAN AND SIMILAR TERRITORIES:
This product is suppressed for radio and television interference with the
International Electrotechnical Commission requirements of the CISPR.
Machines for Great Britain and some other countries having similar wiring
standards are shipped from the factory with a plug for connection to the
mains. The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
Blue: neutral (N) Brown: live (L)
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug,

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. Neither cord is to be connected to the
earth terminal of a three-pin plug.
