To ensure safe operation and prevent injury or damage, please read and follow these instructions carefully:

• Scollegare sempre la macchina dalla presa elettrica durante la pulizia, la lubrificazione o quando non è in uso.
• Tenere le dita lontane da tutte le parti in movimento. È necessaria una cura speciale intorno all'ago della macchina per cucire.
• Utilizzare la placca ago corretta. Una placca sbagliata può causare la rottura dell'ago.
• Do not pull or push fabric while stitching. This may deflect the needle and cause it to break.
• Spegnere la macchina da cucire quando si effettuano regolazioni nella zona dell'ago, come l'infilatura dell'ago, la sostituzione dell'ago, l'infilatura della bobina o la sostituzione del piedino premistoffa.
• Use only genuine SINGER accessories and parts.
• Non utilizzare mai la macchina con le aperture di ventilazione bloccate. Mantenere le aperture di ventilazione della macchina per cucire e del pedale libere da accumuli di lanugine, polvere e stracci.
