CAUTION
Maintenance and inspection of the sewing
machine should only be carried out by a
qualified technician.
Disconnect the air hoses from the air supply and
wait for the needle on the pressure gauge to drop
to “0” before disassembly of any parts which use
the pneumatic equipment.
Turn off the power switch before
disassembly, otherwise the machine may
operate if the start switch is pressed by
mistake, which could result in injury.
If the power switch and air need to be left on when
carrying out some adjustment, be extremely
careful to observe all safety precautions.
