Please observe the following when using your Sailrite® sewing machine:
• Do not operate in conditions where you or the
machine are or may become wet.
• Always use the proper voltage required for
the motor and light.
• Operate the machine on a firm, level surface
where there is adequate room for safe
operation.
• Wear protective eyewear when sewing.
• Observe caution when placing your hands or
other parts of your body or clothing near any
moving parts including but not limited to the
following: the walking foot, the needle, the
drive belt, the balance wheel and any of its
parts.
• Do not run the machine without its covers.
• Do not stop the movement of the balance
wheel with your hands.
• Use caution in tilting the machine backward
in its table and in lowering it back into the
table.
• Use proper lifting techniques when moving
the machine.
• Do not drop the machine.
• Wear shoes when operating the foot
pedal.
• Provide supervision when allowing others to
use the machine—particularly children and
those who are unfamiliar with the machine’s
operation.
• Do not use around flammable materials.
• Use both hands to feed and guide the
material while the belt and balance wheel
are in motion.
• Maintain a safe distance from the belt and
balance wheel when the machine is in motion.
• The operator’s hand should not be near the
wheel pinch point (where moving parts may
