3.2. Mains cable and power supply
Only connect the appliance to an easi-
ly accessible mains socket (220–240 V ~
50 Hz) that is close to where you have set
up the appliance. The power socket must
be easily accessible so that you can un-
plug the appliance from the mains quickly
if necessary.
When unplugging, always hold the plug
itself and never pull on the cable.
Fully unwind the cable during use.
The cable may not touch any hot surfaces.
Switch off the sewing machine and un-
plug the mains plug for the following
tasks: threading the needle, replacing the
needle, setting the presser foot, cleaning
and maintenance work, at the end of sew-
ing work and when work is interrupted.
3.3. Never carry out repairs yourself
If the appliance or power cable is dam-
aged, remove the mains plug from the
socket immediately.
If there is visible damage to the sewing
machine, or mains cable, the appliance
may not be used. This is to avoid hazards.
WARNING!

There is a risk of electric shock if
repairs are not carried out by qualified per-
sonnel!
Never attempt to open or repair the appli-
ance yourself.
In the event of a fault or damage to the
power cable, contact our Service Centre
or another suitable professional repair
workshop to prevent hazards.

3.5. Handle the appliance with care
The sewing machine has suction feet for
stability. Nevertheless, ensure that the
machine is placed on a stable, level work
surface and that all four feet are touching
the work surface.
When the appliance is in use, the ventila-
tion openings must remain free: do not
allow any foreign objects (e.g. dust, pieces
of thread etc.) to get into the openings.
Never place anything onto the foot pedal.
Use only the supplied accessories. Nee-
dles are available from specialist retailers.
Only use specialist sewing machine oil
to lubricate the machine. Do not use any
other liquids.
When sewing, ensure that you do not
place your fingers under the needle hold-
er.
Take care when operating the moving
parts of the machine, particularly the nee-
dle and knife. There is also risk of injury
when the machine is not connected to
the power supply.
Do not use bent or blunt needles.
When sewing, do not hold the fabric tight
and do not pull on the fabric. This could
cause the needle to break.
Always place the needle in the highest
position at the end of sewing work.
When leaving the machine and before
maintenance work, always switch off the
machine and pull the mains plug from the
socket.
3.6. Cleaning and storage
Before cleaning, pull the plug out of the
mains socket. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean
the appliance. Avoid the use of chemical
solutions and cleaning products because
these may damage the appliance surface
and/or the labels on it.
When storing the sewing machine, always
cover it with the supplied cover to protect
the machine from dust.
