3 Setting up the machine
3.1 Working area
A stable table with a secure stand is a good prerequisite for optimal sewing results. Ergonomics around the
sewing table is an important point to protect the muscles and joints of the back, shoulder, arms and hands.
The recommendation for this includes matching the height of the table and the body posture. Avoid staying
in the same position for long periods.
> Place the machine on a stable table.
> Before operating the machine again after storage, leave the machine unpacked for approx. 1 h at room
temperature.
Correct sitting position
> Sit comfortably in front of the machine.
> Hold the arms 90 ° across the table, with your fingertips to the machine.
– The fingertips should touch the Stich Plate.
3.2 Connection and Switching on
Connecting the machine
> Insert the plug (1) of the Power Cable and the Foot Control cable into the connection.
> Insert the plug (2) of the Power Cable and the Foot Control cable into the socket outlet.
Use of the power cable (only USA/Canada)
The machine has a polarized plug (one contact is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock,
the plug can only be plugged into the socket in one way. If the plug does not fit into the socket, turn the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact an electrician to install an appropriate outlet. Do not modify the plug in
any way.
