•Turn the main power switch to OFF before changing the needle. If the main power is left on and the “START/STOP” button or another operation button is pressed accidentally, the machine will start and injury may result.

•Use only sewing machine needles for home use. Other needles may bend or break and cause injury.

•Never sew with a bent needle. A bent needle will easily break and cause injury.

To Check the Needle Correctly:

To check the needle, place the flat side of the needle on a flat surface. Check the needle from the top and the sides. Throw away any bent needles.
