2. Stiùireadh Sàbhailteachd Cudromach

Nuair a bhios tu a’ cleachdadh inneal dealain, bu chòir ceumannan sàbhailteachd bunaiteach a leantainn an-còmhnaidh, a’ toirt a-steach na leanas:

• Leugh a h-uile stiùireadh mus cleachd thu an inneal fuaigheil seo.
• Cùm na stiùiridhean seo ann an àite freagarrach faisg air an inneal.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, always unplug the machine from the electrical outlet immediately after using and before cleaning, removing covers, or making any user servicing adjustments.
• Unplug an-còmhnaidh mus atharraich thu am bulb solais. Cuir am bulb an àite 15 watt den aon sheòrsa.
• Na leig leis a bhith air a chleachdadh mar dhèideag. Feumar aire shònraichte a thoirt nuair a bhios clann a’ cleachdadh an inneil seo no nuair a bhios iad faisg air.
• Use this product only for its intended use as described in this manual. Use only attachments recommended by the manufacturer as contained in this manual.
• Na obraich an inneal fuaigheil seo a-riamh ma tha sreang no pluga millte aige, mura h-eil e ag obair ceart, ma chaidh a leigeil sìos no a mhilleadh, no a leigeil a-steach don uisge.
• Na leig às no na cuir a-steach rud sam bith ann am fosgladh sam bith.
• Na cleachd a-muigh.
• Na bi ag obair far a bheilear a’ cleachdadh stuthan aerosol (spraeadh) no far a bheilear a’ toirt seachad ocsaidean.
• Gus dì-cheangal, tionndaidh a h-uile smachd chun t-suidheachadh dheth, an uairsin thoir air falbh am pluga bhon ionad.
• Never operate with any air openings blocked. Keep ventilation openings of the sewing machine and foot controller free from the accumulation of lint, dust, and loose cloth.
• Cùm corragan air falbh bho gach pàirt gluasadach. Tha feum air cùram sònraichte timcheall air snàthad an inneal fuaigheil.
• Cleachd an clàr snàthad ceart an-còmhnaidh. Faodaidh an truinnsear ceàrr adhbhrachadh gu bheil an t-snàthad a’ briseadh.
• Na cleachd snàthadan lùbte.
• Na tarraing no na put an t-aodach fhad ’s a tha thu a’ fuaigheal. Dh’ fhaodadh seo an t-snàthad a thionndadh agus a dhèanamh briste.
• Cleachd glainneachan sàbhailteachd.
