2.  Use only neutral soaps or detergents to clean the machine. Benzene, solvents and scouring powders 

can damage the case and the machine and therefore should never be used.

3.  Do not drop or bump the machine.

4.  Always consult the manual to replace or fix the hopping foot, needle or any other part of the 

machine. If necessary contact an authorized Handi Quilter representative or Handi Quilter technical 

support.

GROUNDING PIN

This product is for use on a nominal 120 V or nominal 220 V circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks 

like the plug illustrated in sketch A above. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in 

sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly 

grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded 

outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending 

from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. 

Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by the metal screw. 

 

Â

IMPORTANT

: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the  

Canadian Electric Code.

To repair or adjust the machine

If the machine breaks down or needs adjustment, first check the troubleshooting chart in the appendix to 

inspect and adjust the machine yourself.
