8. Checking the sewing machine in the delivered state
If the work clamp is in its upper posi-
tion when it is delivered to your work-
shop, it is necessary to lower the work
clamp before turning on the power to
the sewing machine.
When lowering the work clamp, take
care not to place your hands near the
knife.
If the power is turned ON with the
work clamp raised and the ready key
is pressed, "E998 Work clamp devia-
tion error" can occur.
