SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The sewing machine, automatic machine, and attachments (collectively called “the machine” below) involve sewing
operations that require the operator to be near moving parts of the machine. Because of this, there is always a potential
danger of unintentional contact with the moving parts. For this reason, the operators who actually use the machine and
the maintenance staff who perform maintenance and repair must carefully read “2. Basic precautions” and “3. Precautions
to be taken in various operating stage” below and fully understand this information before operating or maintaining the
machine.
The information contained in the “Safety Instruction” of this manual also includes items not found in the product
specifications.
To assist in better understanding this manual and the product warning labels, warning indicators are categorized as shown
below. Be sure that you fully understand the contents and carefully follow the instructions.
