FOR PORTABLE INSTALLATION
Pleciso recid ihese important instructions which
were written to oid you in placing your new
sewing machine on its portable bose.
First, remove the nail which holds the foot
control msicJo the base to avoid damage in ship­
ping. If a small plastic clump is fastened
to the back and not to the top of the partition
at one end of the base, remove it, too.
After unpacking the sewing machine unit,
being certain to take out the instruction book,
guarantee and accessory box, lay the unit face
down on a table. You will see two clamping
screws A entering head hinge holes B on the
underside of the back.
On the base you will find two head hinges
C which will fit into holes B. Lower the base
onto the sewing machine fitting hinges C into
holes B. Tighten screws A securely with a
screw driver.
With machine in sewing position attach plas­
tic clamp D to top of partition with screw pr­
ovided so that it may be turned across the bed
of the machine, to hold it down. (On some
bases the clamp may be positioned in the pro­
per spot).
To make the electrical connection draw the
two wires through the slot in the partition of
the base. plug the cord labeled "Motor” into
the receptacle marked "Motor" on the block
attached to the outer section of the base. Then
insert the other cord into the "Light" receptacle.
Place the foot control on the floor, insert
plug into a wall outlet (110-115 volts) and you
are ready to sew. But first read the instruction
book to become familiar with the threading of
the machine, tension adjustments and all the
other features designed to make sewing a ple­
asure.
