outlet,’ reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.
Do not modify the plug in any way.
[ CONTROLLING SEWING SPEED ]
The foot control regulates the sewing speed.
The sewing speed can be adjusted by
increasing or decreasing the pressure on the
foot control.
