CONNECTING MACHINE
Before plugging in your machine, be sure that
the voltage and number of cycles 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.
To turn on the machine and set speed range,
push the power and light switch to desired
speed. This will also turn on the sewing light.
• The SLOW setting A (switch pressed in
halfway) allows for maximum control. Use
this setting for special jobs where intricate
construction details require close control.
• The FAST setting B (switch pressed in all
the way) allows for full speed capacity of the
machine. It is best for long, straight seams,
easy-to-handle fabrics, and general sewing
where a variety of speeds are needed.
CAUTION: We recommend that you turn off
the power and tight switch before changing
needtes, presser feet or ptates and when leav­
ing the machine unattended. This eliminates the
possibility of starting the machine by acciden­
tally pressing the speed controller.
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.
Note: If machine does not operate (stitch
selection panel and sewing light do not light
up) after making electrical connections and
turning on switch, the circuit breaker may re­
quire activation. See page 103 for instruc­
tions regarding circuit breaker.
