Before Using Your Sewing Machine
Before using your sewing machine for the first
time, place a waste fabric under the presser foot
and run the machine with thread for a few
minutes. Wipe away any oil which may appear.
For Your Safety
* While in operation, always keep your eyes on
the sewing area. Do not touch any moving
parts, such as the thread take-up lever,
handwheel or needle.
* Always turn off the power switch and unplug
from the power supply:
- When leaving the machine unattended
- When attaching or removing any parts
- When cleaning the machine
* Do not place anything on the foot control,
when not sewing.

Controlling Sewing Speed
Sewing speed can be varied by the foot control.
The harder you press on the foot control, the
faster the machine runs.
Polarized plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider
than the other). To reduce the risk of an electric
shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit 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.
Foot Controller Model YC-482J-1 or TJC-150 is used
with
Sewing Machine Model TB-12.
