2.1 Before using the machine for the first time
BERNINA recommends lubricating the hook before using the machine for the first time or after a longer
period of non-use. (see page 106)
By oiling the hook, the occurrence of unwanted noises in the hook area can be avoided.
2.2 Connection and Switching on
Connecting the foot control
The cable of the foot control is rolled up on its underside.
> Unroll the cable of the foot control to the desired length and fix it in the cable holders of the foot
control..
> Insert the plug of the cable into the foot control socket of the machine.
> Place the foot control under the table.
> If the cable is too long, roll up the excess length and fix it in the cable holders of the foot control.
Connecting the machine
To ensure safe operation of the machine, only the supplied mains cable may be used. The supplied power
cable is designed for the voltage range applicable in the country of use. If the machine is to be used in a
country other than the country of origin, the power cable suitable for that country must be obtained from
the Authorized BERNINA dealer.
The power cable for USA and Canada has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other). To reduce the
risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit
into the outlet, turn the plug upside down and plug it in. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician
to install the proper outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way.
