DANGER - To reduce the risk of electric shock:
* The machine should never be left unattended when
plugged in. Always unplug the machine from the
electric outlet immediately after using and before

the same type rated 15 watts. Be sure to replace the
face plate which covers the light bulb before operating

described in this Operator's Guide. Use only
attachments recommended by the manufacturer as
contained in the Operator's Guide.
* To disconnect, turn all controls to the off
( "0" )position, then remove plug from outlet.

outlet or switch the machine off when making any
adjustments in the needle area, such as threading
needle, changing needle, changing throat plate or
changing presser foot, etc.

any other user servicing adjustments mentioned in the
