CAUTION
• To avoid injury, pay special attention to the needle while the machine is in operation. Keep your hands away from
moving parts while the machine is in operation.
• Do not stretch or pull the fabric during sewing. Doing so may lead to injury.
• Do not use bent or broken needles. Doing so may lead to injury.
• Take care that the needle does not strike basting pins or other objects during sewing. Otherwise, the needle may break
and cause injury.
• If stitches become bunched, lengthen the stitch length setting before continuing sewing. Otherwise, the needle may
break and cause injury.
CAUTION
• Always use the correct presser foot. If the wrong
presser foot is used, the needle may strike the presser
foot and bend or break, possibly resulting in injury.
Memo
You can start sewing without pulling up the bobbin
thread.
