4. Notes on safety
Warning!
Possible injury and material damage:
As a user of electrical appliances, you are legally required to prevent possible accidents by taking the appropriate safety measures:
•Keep your work space tidy. An untidy workplace can lead to acci- dents.
•Provide adequate lighting when working!
•Do not wear loose clothing or jew- ellery, as these can be caught in the moving parts. For the same reason, you should also wear a hair net if you have long hair.
•Avoid adopting any unusual pos- ture. Remain steady and in a well- balanced position at all times.
•Be alert! Pay attention to what you are doing. Always take a rational approach to your work. Never work with the sewing machine if you are unable to concentrate or if you are feeling unwell!
If accidents occur as a result of han- dling the machine with insufficient care, or failure to follow the safety instruc- tions in this manual, then the manufac- turer cannot accept liability.
