2. Treoracha Tábhachtacha Sábháilteachta

Agus fearas leictreach á úsáid, ba cheart réamhchúraimí bunúsacha sábháilteachta a leanúint i gcónaí, lena n-áirítear na nithe seo a leanas:

• Léigh na treoracha go léir sula n-úsáidtear an meaisín fuála seo.
• Coinnigh na treoracha seo in áit áisiúil in aice leis an meaisín.
• Chun an baol turraing leictrigh a laghdú, díphlugáil an meaisín ón asraon leictreach i gcónaí díreach tar éis úsáide agus sula ndéantar glanadh, clúdaigh a bhaint, nó aon choigeartuithe seirbhíse úsáideora a dhéanamh.
• Díphlugáil i gcónaí sula n-athraíonn tú an bolgán solais. Cuir 15 vata rátáil den chineál céanna in ionad an bholgáin.
• Ná lig é a úsáid mar bhréagán. Tá gá le haire ghéar nuair a úsáideann leanaí an meaisín seo nó nuair a úsáideann siad é in aice le leanaí.
• 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.
• Ná oibrigh an meaisín fuála seo riamh má tá corda nó breiseán millte aige, mura bhfuil sé ag obair i gceart, má tá sé tite nó millte, nó tite isteach san uisce.
• Ná scaoil nó ná cuir aon rud isteach in oscailt ar bith.
• Ná húsáid lasmuigh.
• Ná oibrigh áit a bhfuil táirgí aerasóil (spraeála) á n-úsáid nó áit a bhfuil ocsaigin á tabhairt.
• Chun dínascadh, cas na rialtáin go léir go dtí an suíomh as, ansin bain an breiseán as an asraon.
• 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.
• Coinnigh méara ar shiúl ó gach cuid atá ag gluaiseacht. Teastaíonn cúram speisialta timpeall snáthaid an mheaisín fuála.
• Bain úsáid as an pláta snáthaide ceart i gcónaí. Is féidir leis an pláta mícheart a chur faoi deara an tsnáthaid a bhriseadh.
• Ná húsáid snáthaidí lúbtha.
• Ná tarraing ná ná brúigh an fabraic agus tú ag fuáil. D’fhéadfadh sé seo an tsnáthaid a chlaonadh agus í a bhriseadh.
• Caith spéaclaí sábháilteachta.
