Changing the Presser Foot Cambio del pie prensatela

CAUTION/PRECAUCIÓN

●Always turn off the power before you change the presser foot. If you leave the power on and step on the controller, the machine will start and you may be injured.

●Always use the correct presser foot for the stitch pattern you have chosen. If you use the wrong presser foot, the needle may strike the presser foot and bend or break, and may cause injury.

●Only use presser feet that have been designed to be used with this machine. Using any other presser foot may cause accident or injury.

●Antes de cambiar el pie prensatela, apague la máquina. Si deja la máquina encendida y pisa el pedal, la máquina comenzará a funcionar y podría lesionarse.

●Utilice siempre el pie prensatela correcto para la costura elegida. Si utiliza un pie prensatela erróneo, la aguja puede golpearlo y doblarse o romperse, y podría causar lesiones.

●Utilice sólo el pie prensatela diseñado para esta máquina. El uso de otro pie prensatela puede causar lesiones o accidentes.

You will have to change the presser foot depending on what you want to sew and how.

4Lower the presser foot lever and fix the presser foot onto the shank. If the presser foot is in the correct place, the bar should snap in.
