Training Notes:
* The motor is very powerful and has a lot of inertia. It can go through the bone of your finger, and WHEN YOU TURN OFF THE MACHINE THE MOTOR REMAINS SPINNING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. If the foot pedal is accidentally pressed while the motor is still spinning, the machine will run. Exercise caution while threading the machine. (see below)
DO NOT REST YOUR FEET ON THE FOOT PEDAL WHEN THREADING THE MACHINE.
