“IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS”  
When using a sewing machine, basic safety precautions should always be taken,  
including the following:  
“Read all instructions before using.”  
DANGER –  
To reduce the risk of electric shock.  
1. The sewing machine should never be left unattended while plugged in. Always unplug the sewing  
machine from the electrical outlet immediately after using and before cleaning.  
2. Always unplug before changing the light bulb. Replace bulb with same type rated 12V 5 watts.  
WARNING –  
To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury.  
1. Do not allow this sewing machine to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when the sewing  
machine is used by or near children.  
2. Use this sewing machine only for its intended use as described in this manual. Use only accessories  
recommended by the manufacturer as contained in this manual.  
3. Never operate this sewing 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 sewing machine to the nearest  
authorized dealer or service center for examination, repair, electrical or mechanical adjustment.  
4. Never operate the sewing machine with any air openings blocked. Keep ventilation openings of the  
sewing machine and foot control free from the accumulation of lint, dust, and loose cloth.  
5. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.  
6. Do not use outdoors.  
7. Do not operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being administered.  
8. To disconnect, turn the main switch to the symbol “O” position which represents off, then remove plug  
from outlet.  
9. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.  
10. Keep fingers away from all moving parts. Special care is required around the sewing machine needle.  
11. Always use the proper needle plate. The wrong plate can cause the needle to break.  
12. Do not use bent needles.  
13. Do not pull or push fabric while stitching. It may deflect the needle causing it to break.  
14. Switch the sewing machine to the symbol “O” position when making any adjustments in the needle  
area, such as threading needle, changing needle, threading bobbin, or changing presser foot, and the  
like.

FOR USERS IN THE UK, EIRE, MALTA  
AND CYPRUS ONLY.  
If your sewing machine is fitted with a three-pin non-rewireable BS plug then please read the following.  
IMPORTANT  
If the available socket outlet is not suitable for the plug supplied with this equipment, it should be cut off  
and an appropriate three-pin plug fitted. With alternative plugs an approved fuse must be fitted in the plug.  
NOTE  
The plug severed from the main lead must be destroyed as a plug with bared flexible cords is hazardous if  
engaged in a live socket outlet. In the event of replacing the plug fuse, use a fuse approved by ASTA to BS  
1362, i.e. carrying the  
mark, rating as marked on plug.  
Always replace the fuse cover, never use plugs with the fuse cover omitted.  
WARNING  
DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH  
THE LETTER ‘E’, BY THE EARTH SYMBOL  
OR COLOURED GREEN OR YELLOW.  
The wires in this main lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:  
Blue  
Neutral  
Live  
Brown  
As the colours of the wiring in the main lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured  
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows.  
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter ‘N’ or  
coloured black or blue.  
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter ‘L’ or  
coloured red or brown.

When setting the thread spool, set it so that the thread winds off from the front of the spool.  
If using metallic thread, we recommend that you use a 90/14 home sewing machine needle.

Set the stitch length short in order to obtain a fine stitch. Sew  
slowly while keeping the seam parallel to the fabric edge as you  
guide the fabric around the curve.

For sharp corners, temporarily stop sewing with the needle in  
the material, then raise the presser foot and carefully turn the  
fabric while keeping it level with the presser foot. Lower the  
presser foot and continue sewing.  
Sewing on thick fabric  
1. Raising the presser foot lever even further raises the presser  
foot to a higher position allowing you to sew on thicker fabrics.  
With the presser foot in the up position, raise the presser foot  
lever even higher to make room for thicker fabrics.  
2. If the fabric will not feed at the beginning of sewing, place  
another piece of fabric with the same thickness at the back of  
the material.  
Sewing on thin fabric  
Place thin paper or stabilizer material under the fabric before sew-  
ing.
