CONGRATULATIONS ON CHOOSING THIS COMPACT OVERLOCK MACHINE Your machine is a high quality, easy-to-use product. To fully enjoy all the features, we suggest that you study this booklet.

CAUTION When threading or replacing needle, the main power and light switch of the machine must be switched off or the plug must be removed from the socket-outlet. When the machine is not in use, it is recommended that the electric supply plug is disconnected from the wall socket to avoid any possible hazards.
Notes on the motor - The maximum operating speed of this sewing machine is 1,300 stitches per minute, which is quite fast
compared to the normal operating speed of 300 to 800 stitches per minute for the ordinary sewing machine. - The bearings in the motor are made of a special sintered, oil-impregnated alloy mounted in oilsoaked felt to
withstand long hours of continuous operation. - Continuous operation of the sewing machine can cause heat to build in the motor area, but not enough to
adversely affect its performance. It is important to keep fabric and paper away from the air openings on the back and sides of the machine so air can get to these openings.
- When the motor is running, sparks can be seen through the air openings in the motor bracket on the side opposite the hand wheel. These sparks are produced by the carbon brushes and the commutator, and are part of the machines normal operation.
WARNING LABELS (for complying with UL and CSA requirements) The following warning labels are on the machine. Be sure to observe the precautions described in the labels.
