Steadying the Machine

When the sewing machine is placed on an uneven surface, turn the rubber cushion on the front left-hand side of the base plate to adjust its height until the sewing machine is stable.

Pour stabiliser la machine

Lorsque la machine à coudre est installée sur une surface inégale, tourner le coussin en caoutchouc sur le côté avant gauche de la plaque de base de la machine pour régler sa hauteur jusqu’à ce qu’elle soit stable.

Nivellierung der Maschine

Wenn die Nähmaschine auf einer unebenen Oberfläche steht, können Sie den Gummifuß vorne links an der Grundplatte so weit drehen, bis die Maschine sicher steht.

De machine stabiliseren

Als de naaimachine op een oneven oppervlak staat , draai dan aan het rubber voetje aan de linkervoorkant van de voetplaat om de hoogte aan te passen totdat de naaimachine stabiel staat.
