Important! (USA/Canada only)
This sewing machine has a polarized plug
(one blade wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug
is intended to fit only one way into a
polarized outlet. If the plug does not fit
fully 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.
