Polariz ed Plug

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way.

Controlling Sewing Speed

Sewing speed is varied by the foot control.

The harder you press on the foot control, the faster the machine runs.
