1. Važna sigurnosna uputstva
Prilikom korištenja električnog uređaja uvijek se treba pridržavati osnovnih sigurnosnih mjera opreza, uključujući sljedeće:
- Prije upotrebe ove šivaće mašine pročitajte sva uputstva.
- Keep these instructions in a suitable place near the machine.
- Da biste smanjili rizik od strujnog udara, uvijek isključite uređaj iz električne utičnice odmah nakon upotrebe i prije čišćenja, skidanja poklopaca ili bilo kakvih korisničkih podešavanja.
- Ne dozvolite deci da rade sa mašinom bez nadzora.
