Always inspect the machine before starting the work. Be sure it is clean and threaded correctly, with no loose threads on the pulley belt and all guards in place.
When sewing on a power machine, wear low shoes and well-fitting clothing. Avoid loose-fitting sleeves, jewellery, ties and ribbons when operating the machine. If your hair is long, tie it at the back.
Turn the motor off before removing or replacing the pulley belt and run the machine out. Wait until all motion has stopped.
When operating the machine, keep your hands, scissors and other sharp objects away from the belt.
Know the location of the main power switch, outlets and fuses in case of an emergency.
Always place the pressing iron on the iron pad to avoid burning the ironing board cover.
