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 op eration.
• Do not stretch or pull the fabric during s ewing. Doing so may lead to injury.
• Do not use bent or broken needles. D oing so may lead to injury.
• Do not attempt to sew over basting pins or other ob jects during sewing. Otherwise, the needle may break
and cause injury.
• If stitches become bunched, lengthen the st itch length setting before continuing sewing. Otherwise, the
needle may break and cause injury.
• 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.
Refer to page 347 for presser foot
recommendations.
Memo
• The black button on the left side of presser
foot “J” should be pressed only if the fabric
