2. GETTING READY TO SEW
CONNECTING MACHINE
Before plugging in your machine, be sure that
the voltage and number of amperes indicated
at the right end of the machine, conform to
your electrical power supply.
• Push the machine plug into the machine
socket.
• Connect the power-line plug to your electri­
cal outlet.
OPERATING MACHINE
To turn on the machine and sewing light, and
set speed range, set the power and light
switch in the selected range.
• The MIN. setting A (switch pressed in half­
way) allows for maximum control. Use this
setting for special jobs where intricate con­
struction details require close control. The
speed range this setting provides is ap­
propriate for almost all of your sewing
needs.
• The MAX. setting B (switch pressed in all
the way) allows for full speed capacity of the
machine. It is best for long, straight seams,
and easy to handle fabrics.
To run the machine, press the foot or knee
speed controller. The harder you press, the
faster the machine will sew within the
selected speed range. The lighter you press,
the slower the machine will sew within the
selected speed range.
CAUTION: Switch off the power and light
switch when changing needles, feet or needle
plates or when leaving the machine unattended.
This eliminates the possibility of starting the
machine by accidentally pressing the speed
controller.
