SAFETY AND MACHINE INSTRUCTIONS Name DO:
Instructor
-Know how )o thread the power sewing machines properly! 1.
2. 3.
4. 5.
6. 7. 8.
Make sure thread holder faces in the right direction. Put thread only through ane tension hole, not all three holes. Make sure the thread goes through the tension properly, Demonstrate knowledge of winding bObbin properly. Make sure bobbin is "locked in," Bring bobbin thread up through center hole in foot. Demonstrate use of re-adjustment button. Demonstrate how you would start to sew once machine is threaded.. (with needle down in fabric and presser foot down en fabric.)
-Ask to be shown how to use the machine in a correct manner. Each machine works a little bit differently so ASK if you really aren't sure about how to thread it. -Pull out all pins befor,e sewin fabric. These are not Aomestic machines... if you sew over pins with a power sewing machine the needle will break.
-Be sure to let instructor know if a machine has broken down. This way we might be able to make a minor adjustment before the machine is used by another person and jams even further.:
-Be sure to ask for help when lifting anything heavy that you think you cannot handle...especially if you will be bringing a piece of furniture down from up high.
-Be sure to wear protective goggles when using the band saw, spring clipper, or the bolt cutter...it's for your own protection. For any other procedure that you are unsure of, wear goggles. Goggles may be purchased at WCTI bookstore or you may borrow a pair belonging to the Department. Please ask Instructor to borrow. WE REQUEST THAT YOU REPORT ALL ACCIDENTS, HOWEVER MINOR, TO YOUR INSTRUCTOR IMMEDIATELY. THIS MEANS_AI THE TIME THE ACCIDENT OCCURS.
#***********************************************************************s*********** DON'T:
Don't leave thread in needle while winding a bobbin unless you areactuglly sewing something. Again, the needle will break or the thread will get caught underneath the plate causing a terrific jam. t,
Don't leave the thread in the machine for any reason. Always take your tflread out when you are finished sewing and remove the bobbin from its case,
Don's help others thread a machine...let the instructor demonstrdte,..that is'what he or-she is there for. Don't try to adjust the tension! If you think the machine needs an adjustment ask the instructor...chances are that it is hot the tension that needs adjustment! Don't sew at the same 'time you use the knee pedal. the thread will clog up in the machine.
The needle might sl;reak and
