CAUTION!

WHEN THE MACHINE IS NOT IN USE, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE ELECTRIC SUPPLY PLUG IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE WALL SOCKET TO AVOID ANY POSSIBLE HAZARDS.

Notes on the motor

•The normal operating speed of this sewing machine is 1,000 stitches per minute, which is quite fast compared to the normal operating speed of 300 to 800 stitches per minute for the ordinary foot-operated sewing machine.

•The bearings in the motor are made of a special sintered, oil-impregnated alloy mounted in oil-soaked felt to withstand long hours of continuous operation.

•Continuous operation of the sewing machine can cause heat to build in the motor area, but not enough to adversely affect its performance.

It is important to keep fabric and paper away from the ventilating holes on the back and sides of the machine so air can get to these holes.

•When the motor is running, sparks can be seen through the ventilating hole in the motor bracket on the side opposite the hand wheel. These sparks are produced by the carbon brushes and the commutator, and are part of the machines normal operation.

CAUTION

WHEN THREADING THE MACHINE, REPLACING A NEEDLE, OR WHEN THE MACHINE IS NOT IN USE, WE RECOMMEND DISCONNECTING THE ELECTRIC SUPPLY PLUG TO AVOID ANY POSSI- BLE HAZARDS.
