IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using this machine, basic safety precautions
should always be followed including the following:
Read all instructions before using this machine.
DANGER - To reduce the risk of electric shock:
* The machine should never be left unattended when
plugged in. Always unplug the machine from the
electric outlet immediately after using and before
cleaning.
* Always unplug before re-lamping. Replace bulb with
the same type rated 15 watts. Be sure to replace the
face plate which covers the light bulb before operating
the machine.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric
shock or injury to persons:
* Be sure that the electrical voltage of the socket
outlet (wall receptacle) is the same as the rated
voltage of the motor.
* Use this machine only for its intended use as
described in this Operator's Guide. Use only
attachments recommended by the manufacturer as
contained in the Operator's Guide.
* To disconnect, turn all controls to the off
( "0" )position, then remove plug from outlet.
* Disconnect the power-line plug from the socket
outlet or switch the machine off when making any
adjustments in the needle area, such as threading
needle, changing needle, changing throat plate or
changing presser foot, etc.
* Always unplug the machine from the electrical outlet
when removing covers, lubricating, or when making
any other user servicing adjustments mentioned in the
Operator's Guide.
* Do not attempt to adjust the motor belt. Contact your
nearest Service Center should any adjustment be
required.
* Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp
the plug, not the cord.
* Handle the foot controller with care and avoid
dropping it on the floor. Be sure not to place anything
on top of it.
* Always use the proper throat plate. The wrong plate
can cause the needle to break.
* Do not use bent needles.
* When sewing, keep fingers away from all moving
parts. Special care is required around the sewing
machine needle.
* Do not pull or push fabric while stitching. It may
deflect the needle causing it to break.
* Before removing the bobbin case, remove plug from
the socket outlet.
* For double insulated machines, when servicing use
only identical replacement parts.
* Never operate the machine if it has a damaged cord
or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been
dropped or damage, or dropped into the water. Return
the machine to the nearest authorized dealer or
Service Center for examination, repair, electrical, or
mechanical adjustment.

2 Getting ready to sew
Operating the machine
Connecting the machine
Push plug (1) into the receptacle (2) at the right end of
the machine. Then connect plug (3) to your socket
outlet.
For North America
This appliance has a polarized (one blade wider than
the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
plug is intended to m in a polarized outlet only one
way.
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician
to install the proper outlet. Do not modify the plug in
any way.
Running the machine
To turn on machine and sewing light, press upper
portion "I" of power switch (4). To turn off machine and
light, press lower portion "0" of power switch.
To run the machine and control speed press the foot
control (5) with your foot. The harder you press, the
faster the machine will sew. To stop machine, remove
foot from control.
Note: Do not operate machine without fabric under the
presser foot as this may damage the feed and the
presser foot.
Choosing and changing needles
Important: For best results from your sewing machine,
use only SINGER * needles. Check the needle
package, and the Fabric, Thread and Needle Table on
page 16 for the correct needle and fabric combination.
* Raise needle to its highest position.
* Loosen needle clamp screw and remove needle.
* With flat side of needle to the back, insert new
needle up into clamp as far as it will go.
* Tighten needle clamp screw securely.

5, 6, 8, 10 Stitch Sewing Machine
6 Free-arm sewing
Fabric handling, when sewing tubular and hard to
reach garment areas, is simplified and made easier
when you use the free-arm sewing capability of your
sewing machine.
Sleeves
* Free-arm sewing takes the difficulty out of
topstitching, sleeves, finishing waistbands and trouser
legs rotate smoothly under the needle, around the
arm, allowing you to place your stitching accurately.
Buttons
* Sewing buttons on a cuff or neckband is easy win
free-arm sewing. The sewing arm allows room for
cuffs to slip onto without being stretched out of shape,
and you can also see and handle the
stitching area more easily.
Bar tacks
* Bar tacks reinforce areas of strain and can be
applied to ready-made garments, as well as to those
sewn at home. Use the free-arm surface to avoid
fabric bulk around the needle when you apply bar
tacks to pockets, pleats and waistlines.
