Servicing double-insulated products
(230V-240V)
In a double-insulated product, two systems of insulation are provided instead of
grounding. No grounding means are provided on a double-insulated product nor should
a means for grounding be added to the product. Servicing a double-insulated product
requires extreme care and should only be done by qualified service personnel with
knowledge of the system under his or her responsibility. Replacement parts for a double-
insulated product must be identical to those parts in the product. The symbol is marked
on the double-insulated product.
Notice about the incandescent lamp
The incandescent lamp fitted to our product is not suitable for household lighting and is
specifically designed for the lighting of the sewing machine sewing area.
