DANGERTo reduce the risk of electric shock:
1. An appliance should never be left unattended when plugged in. Always unplug this sewing machine
from the electric outlet immediately after using and before cleaning.
2. Always unplug before replacing a sewing machine bulb. Replace bulb with same type rated 15 Watts.
WARNING To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons:
1. Do not allow children to play with the machine. The machine is not intended for use by children or
infirmed persons without proper supervision.
Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when this sewing machine is used by
or near children.
2. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this owner’s manual.
Use only attachments recommended by the manufacturer as contained in this owner’s manual.
3. Never operate this sewing machine if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it
has been dropped or damaged, or dropped into water.
Return this sewing machine to the nearest authorized dealer or service center for examination,
repair, electrical or mechanical adjustment.
4. Never operate the appliance with any air opening blocked. Keep ventilation openings of this sewing
machine and foot controller free from accumulation of lint, dust and loose cloth.
5. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
6. Do not use outdoors.
7. Do not operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being
administered.
8. To disconnect, turn all controls to the off (“O”) position, then remove plug from outlet.
9. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
10. Keep fingers away from all moving parts. Special care is required around the sewing machine
needle.
11. Always use the proper needle plate. The wrong plate can cause the needle to break.
12. Do not use bent needles.
13. Do not pull or push fabric while stitching. It may deflect the needle causing it to break.

q Power switch
w Machine plug
e Machine socket
r Power supply plug
t Wall outlet
NOTE:
Before connecting to the power supply, make sure the
voltage shown on the machine conforms to your
electrical power.
WARNING:
While in operation, always keep your eyes on the sewing
area, and do not touch any moving parts such as the
thread take-up lever, handwheel or needle.
Always turn off the power switch and unplug from the
power supply:
- when leaving the machine unattended.
- when attaching or removing parts.
- when cleaning the machine.
Do not place anything on the foot control, otherwise the
machine will run intermittently.
Operating Instructions:
The symbol "O" of a switch indicates the "off" position of a switch.
For an appliance with a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other):
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
If it does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way.
The foot controller Model YC-482J or TJC-150 is used with the sewing machine Model 525S (USA market only).
SECTION 2. GETTING READY TO SEW
Controlling the Sewing Speed
Foot control
Sewing speed can be varied by the foot control.
The harder you depress the foot control, the faster the
machine runs.

Reverse Stitch Lever
Push the reverse stitch lever down to sew in reverse.
The machine will sew in reverse while the lever is
pushed.
Foot Pressure Dial
Turn the foot pressure dial to adjust the foot pressure.
The foot pressure dial should be set at “3” for regular
sewing.
Reduce the pressure to “2” for appliqué, cutwork, draw
work and basting.
Set the setting mark at “1” when sewing chiffon, lace,
organdy and other fine fabrics.
q Setting mark
Dropping the Feed Dog
The drop feed lever is located underneath the free-arm
bed on the backside of the machine.
To drop the feed dog, push the lever in the direction of
the arrow, as illustrated.
To raise the feed dog, push the lever in the direction of
the arrow, as illustrated, and turn the handwheel toward
you.
The feed dog must be up for regular sewing.

Raising and Lowering the Presser Foot
The presser foot lifter raises and lowers the presser foot.
You can raise the foot about 1/4" (0.6 cm) higher than
the normal up position for easy removal of the presser
foot, or to help you place heavy fabric under the foot.
q Lowered position
w Normal up position
e Extra up position
Changing the Presser Foot
To remove:
Raise the needle to its highest position by turning the
handwheel counterclockwise. Raise the presser foot,
and press the lever on the back of the foot holder.
q Lever
CAUTION:
Turn OFF the power switch before changing the foot.
Always use the proper foot for the selected pattern.
The wrong foot can cause the needle to break.
Do not push the lever down to prevent it from being
broken.
To attach:
Place the desired presser foot, so that the pin on the foot
lies just under the groove on the foot holder. Lower the
presser foot lifter to lock the foot in place.

Removing and Attaching the Foot Holder
WARNING:
Turn OFF the power switch before detaching or
attaching the foot holder.
To remove:
Remove the setscrew by turning it counterclockwise with
a screwdriver and remove the foot holder.
To attach:
Match the hole in the foot holder with the threaded hole
in the presser bar. Fit the setscrew into the hole. Tighten

Balancing Needle Thread Tension
The thread tension should be adjusted depending on the
sewing materials, layers of fabric and sewing method.
To adjust the thread tension, turn the tension dial.
q Tension dial
Balanced tension:
The ideal straight stitch has threads locked between two
layers of fabric, as illustrated.
For an ideal zigzag stitch, the bobbin thread does not
show on the right side (top side) of the fabric, and the
needle thread shows slightly on the wrong side (bottom
side) of the fabric.
w Needle thread (Top thread)
e Bobbin thread (Bottom thread)
r Right side (Top side) of fabric
t Wrong side (Bottom side) of fabric
Needle thread tension is too tight:
The bobbin thread (bottom thread) will appear on the
right side (top side) of the fabric.
Loosen the needle thread tension by moving the dial to a
lower number.
Needle thread tension is too loose:
The needle thread (top thread) will form loops on the
wrong side (bottom side) of the fabric.
Tighten the needle thread tension by moving the dial to a
higher number.
