touches the stopper, and securely tighten
the needle clamp screw with a
screwdriver. If the needle is not fully
inserted, or if the needle clamp screw is
loose, the needle may break or the

change the presser foot. If you leave the
power on and step on the controller, the
machine will start and you may be
injured.

the stitch pattern you have chosen. If you
use the wrong presser foot, the needle
may strike the presser foot and bend or
break, and may cause injury.

designed to be used with this machine.
Using any other presser foot may cause
accident or injury.
