Keep these instructions somewhere handy, close to the machine, and pass them on if the machine is ever given to someone else.

This machine is intended for use by adults. Children aged 8 to 12, and people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or without experience and knowledge, may use it with adult supervision, as long as they have been shown how to use it safely and understand the hazards involved. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be done by children without supervision. Nobody should play with the machine. Children under 8 must not use the machine.

DANGER - to reduce the risk of electric shock

• Never leave the machine unattended while it is plugged in. The socket it is plugged into should be easy to reach. Always unplug the machine straight after use, and before cleaning, removing covers, oiling or making any other adjustment mentioned in this manual.

WARNING - to reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock or injury

1. Do not let the machine be used as a toy. Take close care when it is used by or near children.
2. Only use the machine for its intended purpose, as described in this manual. Only use attachments recommended by the manufacturer, as listed in this manual.
3. Never use the machine if the cord or plug is damaged, if it is not working properly, or if it has been dropped, damaged or dropped into water. Take it to your nearest authorised dealer or service centre to be examined, repaired or adjusted, electrically or mechanically.
4. Never use the machine with any of its air openings blocked. Keep the ventilation openings of the machine and the foot control free from lint, dust and loose cloth.

6. Always use the correct needle plate. The wrong plate can cause the needle to break.

13. Do not use where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being given.
14. To disconnect, turn all controls to off (O), then take the plug out of the socket.

16. The foot control is used to run the machine. Never put anything else on the foot control.
17. Do not use the machine if it is wet.
18. If the LED light is damaged or broken, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or a similarly qualified person, to avoid a hazard.
