IMPORTANT

For your safety an important new feature has been incorporated in this machine,

The light/power switch provides electric current for the motor as well as the light. In order to operate the machine this sw_tch must be on,

if you are interrupted while sewing and must leave the machine unattended, just

turn off the light/power switch and the machine can not be started accidentally by

pressing on the foot control. This feature also applies when the machine is in storage.

The foot control is used to vary the machine speed from zero to high.
