●To avoid being injured, watch the needle carefully while you are using the machine. Keep your hands away from moving parts.

●Do not stretch or pull the fabric during sewing, otherwise the needle may be damaged and you may be injured.

●Do not use bent or broken needles, otherwise you may be injured.

●Take care that the needle does not hit basting pins or other objects during sewing. The needle may break and you may be injured.
