Here are some safety instructions for the {{PAGENAME}}. Remember ... SAFETY FIRST!!!
* Keep your fingers away from moving parts.
*'''Sharp Hazard''' – needles are very sharp and can pierce your skin. Turn off the sewing machine when inserting/removing needles to avoid bumping the foot pedal and moving the needle assembly. Never place your fingers directly underneath the needle.
* Never place your finger under the needle.
*'''Crush Hazard''' – be aware of all moving parts and keep your fingers away from any pinch points.
*'''Entanglement''' – ensure that loose clothing, long hair, or any other dangling/loose items do not become entangled in the machine. Hair that extends below the collar should be tied up.
*'''Eye Injury''' – needles can break if they hit a solid object while sewing. The broken tip can fly off and become lodged in your eye. Wear safety glasses when using the sewing machines.
*Do not sew over pins. This can break or bend the needle.
*Ensure the needle you are using is undamaged.
*Make sure the needle is installed correctly.
*Verify that you are using the correct presser foot. When changing out the presser foot, manually check that the needle’s travel will clear the foot before using the foot pedal.
*Do not run thick fabrics or many layers of fabric through a standard sewing machine. Use the industrial sewing machine for these applications.
*When you finish using the sewing machine, disconnect the power cable from both the machine and the wall outlet/power strip. Coil the power cable neatly on the table.
