SEWING MACHINE SAFETY
• Do not operate in conditions where you or the
machine are or may become wet.
• Operate the machine on a firm, level surface
where there is adequate room for safe
operation.
• Observe caution when placing your hands or
other parts of your body or clothing near any
moving parts including but not limited to the
following: the walking foot, the needle, the
drive belt, the balance wheel and any of its
parts.
• Do not run the machine without its covers.
• Do not stop the movement of the balance
wheel with your hands.
• Use caution in tilting the machine backwards
in its table and in lowering it back into the
table.
• Use proper lifting techniques when moving
the machine.
• Do not drop the machine.
• Always use the proper voltage required for
the motor and light.
• Wear protective eyewear when sewing.
• Wear shoes when operating the foot
pedal.
• Provide supervision when allowing others to
use the machine—particularly children and
those who are unfamiliar with the machine’s
operation.
• Do not use around flammable materials.
• Use both hands to guide the material while
the belt and balance wheel are in motion.
• Maintain a safe distance from the belt and
balance wheel when the machine is in motion.
• The operator’s hand should not be near the
wheel pinch point (where moving parts may
cause harm to the user) except to raise and
lower the needle, and only when the motor is
disengaged.
