PREPARATIONS

Unpacking the Machine

1. Place the box on a steady, flat surface. Lift the machine out of the box, and remove the packaging.

2. Remove all outer packing material and the plastic bag.

3. Wipe off the machine with a dry cloth to remove any lint and/or excess oil around the needle area.

Note: Your sewing machine is adjusted to provide the best stitch result at normal room temperature. Extreme hot and cold
temperatures can affect the sewn result.

For the USA and Canada

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 in a polarized outlet only one way. 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.

Among the accessories you will find the power cord and the
foot control.

Note: Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt as how to
connect the machine to the power source. Unplug the power
cord when the machine is not in use.

For this sewing machine, foot control model C-8000
manufactured by Zeng Hsing, Taiwan must be used.

On the bottom right side of the sewing machine, you find the
connecting sockets and the ON/OFF button.

1. Connect the foot control cord to the front socket on the

bottom right side of the machine (A).

2. Connect the power cord to the rear socket on the bottom

right side of the machine (B). Plug the cord into the wall
socket.

3. Press the ON/OFF switch (C) to "I" to turn on power and

light.

The sewing speed is regulated by pressing the foot control.

Note: After turning off the machine, residual power may
remain in the machine. This could cause the light to stay on for
a few seconds while the power is consumed. This is normal for
an energy efficient appliance.

Packing Machine after Sewing

1. Switch the main switch off. After switching off, residual power may still remain in the machine. This may cause the light to

stay on for a few seconds while the power is consumed. This is normal behavior for an energy efficient appliance.

2. Unplug the cord from the wall socket and then from the machine.

3. Wind the cord around the foot control for easy storage.

4. Place all accessories in the accessory tray. Slide the tray on to the machine around the free arm.

5. Place the foot control and cord in the space above the free arm.

6. Place the soft cover on the machine to help protect it from dust and lint.
