3Safety instructions

16. No responsibility will be taken for any possible damage as the

result of misuse of the sewing computer.

17. This sewing computer is provided with double insulation.

Use only identical replacement parts. See instructions for

Servicing of double-insulated machines.

SERVICING DOUBLE-

INSULATED PRODUCTS

In a double-insulated product, two systems of insulation are provi-

ded instead of grounding. No grounding means is provided on a

double-insulated product nor should a means for grounding be

added to the product. Servicing a double-insulated product requi-

res extreme care and knowledge of the system and should only be

done by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a

double-insulated product must be identical to those parts in the

product. A double insulated product is marked with the words

«DOUBLE INSULATION» or «DOUBLE INSULATED».

The symbol may also be marked on the product.

This sewing computer is intended for household use only.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

6. Always use the BERNINA original needle plate. The wrong plate

can cause the needle to break.

7. Do not use bent needles.

8. Do not pull or push fabric while stitching. It may deflect the

needle causing it to break.

9. Turn power switch to «0» when making any adjustments

in the needle area, such as threading or changing the needle,

threading the bobbin or changing the presser foot.

10. Always unplug the sewing computer from the electrical outlet

when removing covers, lubricating or when making any other

user servicing adjustments mentioned in this instruction manual.

11. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.

12. Do not use outdoors.

13. Do not operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or

where oxygen is being administered.

14. Before disconnecting, turn all controls to the off («0») position

then remove the plug from the outlet.

15. Do not unplug by pulling on the cord but grasp the plug.
