This product is for use on a nominal 120 V or nominal 220 V circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the
plug illustrated in sketch A in the gure above. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated
in sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only unl a properly grounded outlet
can be installed by a qualied electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the
adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever
the adapter is used, it must be held in place by the metal screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permied by the Canadian Electric Code.

INSTRUCTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES
Lorsque vous ulisez cee machine, vous devez toujours respecter des précauons de base, notamment
les suivantes :
Lisez toutes les instrucons avant d’uliser la machine.
DANGER - Pour réduire le risque de choc électrique:
• Ne laissez jamais la machine sans surveillance alors qu’elle est branchée. Débranchez toujours la machine de
la prise de courant dès que vous avez ni de l’uliser et avant de la neoyer.
WARNING - Pour réduire le risque de brûlure, d’incendie, de choc électrique
ou de blessure:
• La Baby Lock Crown Jewell III est lourde. Ne jamais tenter de la soulever seul. Ulisez toujours deux
personnes pour la soulever. Soulevez toujours la machine à parr de la gorge, non à parr des poignées.
• Débranchez toujours la Baby Lock Crown Jewell III de la prise électrique lors des travaux d’entreen, du
changement d’aiguille, de la suppression des blocages de l, ou lorsqu’elle est laissée sans surveillance.
• Ne pas débrancher en rant sur le cordon. Pour débrancher, saisir la che, non le cordon.
• N’approchez pas les doigts des pares mobiles. Faites preuve de prudence lorsque vous vous approchez de
l’aiguille ou de composants externes tranchants.
• Changez souvent d’aiguille. N’ulisez pas d’aiguilles tordues ou émoussées. « Chaque quilt mérite une
nouvelle aiguille ».
• Meez la machine sur la posion 0 ou de symbole d’arrêt pour l’éteindre lorsque vous eectuez des
réglages dans la zone de l’aiguille : enlage de l’aiguille, changement d’aiguille, bobinage de la canee,
changement de pied, etc.
• Ne faites jamais tomber et n’insérez jamais d’objets étrangers dans une ouverture.
• La Baby Lock Crown Jewell III doit être ulisée uniquement à l’intérieur dans un endroit non humide.
• La Baby Lock Crown Jewell III ne doit pas être rangée ou ulisée à des températures extrêmes.
• Ulisez la Baby Lock Crown Jewell III uniquement pour l’usage prévu indiqué dans ce manuel.
• Pour débrancher la machine de la prise murale, meez l’interrupteur sur arrêt, puis rerez la che de la
prise en rant à parr de la che et non du cordon. N’ulisez jamais la Baby Lock Crown Jewell III si le
cordon est endommagé ou ne fonconne pas correctement. En cas de problème mécanique ou électrique,
renvoyez la Baby Lock Crown Jewell III au centre de service agréé le plus proche ou au fabricant pour
inspecon, réparaon, ou réglage électrique ou mécanique.
• Il est déconseillé d’uliser la machine à quilng Baby Lock Crown Jewell III avec un autre cadre de machine
à quilter que ceux recommandés par Baby Lock.
• Ulisez cee machine à quilter uniquement pour l’usage prévu décrit dans ce manuel. Ulisez uniquement
les accessoires recommandés par le fabricant décrits dans ce manuel.
• Ne jamais uliser la machine si des ouvertures d’air sont bloquées. Gardez les ouvertures de venlaon de
la machine libérées d’accumulaon de peluches, poussières et morceaux de ssu.
• Ne pas uliser là où des aérosols (vaporisateurs) sont ulisés ou de l’oxygène est administré.
• Ne pas rer ni pousser trop fort la machine sur le ssu lors de l’exécuon des points. Cela pourrait
provoquer une déviaon de l’aiguille et en entraîner la fracture.
7
• N’ulisez que les aiguilles conçues pour le quilng en piqué libre et recommandées par Baby lock pour
cee machine. D’autres types d’aiguilles risqueraient de se fracturer au cours d’un quilng normal.
• Ne pas laisser les enfants jouer avec la machine. Cee machine est conçue pour être ulisée par des
enfants de 8 ans et plus, ainsi que par des personnes aeintes d’un décit physique, sensoriel ou mental,
peu expérimentées ou ayant peu de connaissances, à condion de recevoir les instrucons de sécurité et
la supervision nécessaires à l’ulisaon de la machine et qu’elles comprennent les risques encourus. Une
aenon parculière est nécessaire lorsque cee machine est ulisée par ou à proximité d’enfants.
• Les travaux de maintenance et de neoyage ne peuvent pas être eectués par des enfants sans
supervision.
Conservez ces consignes
Cee machine est desnée à un usage domesque ou commerciale.

COMMENT DÉBALLER/REMBALLER LA MACHINE
VEUILLEZ LIRE CES INSTRUCTIONS AVANT D’UTILISER LA MACHINE.
Pour uliser la machine en toute sécurité
1. Surveillez aenvement l’aiguille lorsque vous cousez. Ne touchez pas la molee, le levier compensateur du
l, l’aiguille ou d’autres pièces mobiles.
2. Meez la machine hors tension et débranchez le cordon dans les cas suivants:
• lorsque vous avez cessé d’uliser la machine ;
• lorsque vous remplacez ou rerez l’aiguille ou toute autre pièce ;
• en cas de panne lorsque vous ulisez la machine ;
• lorsque vous vériez ou neoyez la machine ;
• lorsque vous laissez la machine sans surveillance.
3. Branchez la machine directement à la prise murale. N’ulisez pas de rallonge.
Pour augmenter la durée de vie de votre machine
1. Ne rangez pas cee machine dans des endroits exposés directement à la lumière du soleil ou très humides.
N’ulisez pas et ne rangez pas la machine près d’un chauage, d’un fer à repasser, d’une lampe à halogène
ou d’autres objets chauds.
2. N’ulisez que des savons ou détergents neutres pour neoyer le boîer. Le benzène, les solvants et les po-
udres à récurer peuvent endommager le boîer et la machine et ne doivent donc jamais être ulisés.

Installing Front Handles
CAUTION: Unplug the Baby Lock Crown
Jewel III from the electrical outlet. All power
to the machine must be turned o when in-
stalling the front handles. Failure to do so can
result in damage to the machine.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Care must be taken to
not pinch the ribbon cable under the handle
when it is tightened to the machine.
Locate the three longest Allen screws and the
5.0mm Allen wrench. To install the handles, tilt
the screen forward. Line up the three holes on top
of the handles with the pre-drilled holes on top of
the machine. Slide an Allen screw bolt into each
hole until it stops. Hand tighten, and then use the
5.0mm Allen wrench to securely fasten the handles
to the machine (Figure 4).
Once the Allen screws are in place, plug the ribbon
connector into the serial port on the le-hand side
of the machine (Back-Side Diagram B, #22 on
page 14 and Figure 5). Make sure the pins are
lined up so they are not damaged when the plug is
pushed in. Push the plug securely in place.

1. Shut o the power to the machine.
2. Grasp the LED light by the base of the light
with your ngertips.
NOTE: Do not grasp the LEDs themselves, as
they may break.
3. Pull straight downward without twisting (slight
rocking back and forth may be required).
4. If you are unable to remove the lights with your
ngers, you may use an extraction tool or a pair
of needle-nose pliers to carefully grasp the base
of the light and pull downward.
Installation:
1. Shut o the power to the machine.
2. Insert the new LED light, matching the three
pins with the three holes in the receptacle (ori-
entation is not critical).
3. Press rmly until the LED light is fully inserted
(the base will be against the metal closing plate
of the handle).
Installing Rear Handles
CAUTION: Check that the Baby Lock Crown Jewel III is un-
plugged from the electrical outlet. All power to the machine
must be turned o when installing the rear handles. Failure to
do so can result in damage to the machine.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Care must be taken to not pinch the rib-
bon cable under the handle when it is tightened to the machine.
e rear handles already come mounted by three Allen screws into an
“L” bracket. Line up the two holes in the “L” bracket with those on the
rear of the machine. Slide the two short Allen screws into holes until
they stop. Hand tighten, and then use the 5.0mm Allen wrench to
securely fasten the handle to the back of the machine.
Once the two Allen screws are in place, plug the 9-pin ribbon con-
nector into the serial port underneath the rear handle (Rear Dia-
gram C, #34 page 14). Ensure the pins are lined up so they are not
damaged when the plug is pushed in. Push the plug securely in place.
NOTE: Aer the handles have been completely installed and
plugged in, test them by turning the Baby Lock Crown Jewel III
on/oswitch to “on”. e handles will run a self-test by briey dis-
playing their version during boot up, and then the LED lights on
the front handles will illuminate. Aer the boot up is completed,
both LCD displays (front handle and rear handle) will display
the same menu. If nothing is displayed or if the lights don’t il-
luminate, check that the handle cable on the side of the machine
is plugged in securely, that your machine is turned on, and that
the power cord is plugged into the machine as well as a power
source.

(Side View)
IMPORTANT NOTE: Check the needle to
conrm it is fully inserted. e needle bar has
a sight opening above the needle bar clamp
screw—make sure the needle is touching the
top of the sight opening. If it is not, the
machine timing will be o and it may be
possible for the needle to collide with internal
parts causing damage not covered by warranty.
4. Carefully tighten the needle bar clamp screw.
Over tightening the needle clamp screw will
result in damaging the screw by stripping the
threads. Stripped threads are not covered un-
der warranty. A side eect of damaged threads
from over tightening the needle clamp screw is
that it may become dicult to insert the needle
properly into the needle bar. To avoid over
tightening the screw, while using the screw-
driver, is once the screw no longer turns freely
is to then gently turn the screwdriver until the
screw is tightened snuggly.
NOTE: Changing the needle is recommended
for each new quilt loaded on the machine
or any time the needle becomes bent, dull
or burred.
1. Move the needle bar to the
highest position by turning
the handwheel counter-
clockwise or pressing the
needle up/down control on
the handles.
2. Loosen the needle bar clamp
screw with the appropriate
screwdriver (Figure 8).
3. Referring to Diagram D,
with the scarf (small recess
area on the back side of the
needle, just above the needle
eye) facing toward the rear
of the machine (handwheel
location) and the long
groove down the front of
the needle facing the front
of the machine (bobbin case
location), push the needle all
the way up into the needle
bar until it stops. Check the
sight opening to verify that
the top of the needle can go
no farther.

Installing the
Power Cord
Insert the cord into top power connector on the
rear of the machine. Plug the three-prong end into
a power source (see Figure 9).
e lower power connector is for powering other
attachments. (For future development.)
Turning on the Baby Lock Crown Jewel III
ere are two power switches for your machine.
e main power switch is at the rear of the ma-
chine and a red power switch is under the right
handlebar at the front of the machine for your
added convenience (see Figure 10).
e machine is turned on when both switches are
turned on. e machine is turned o when both
switches are o. However, you may turn o the
machine functions by turning o only the front
switch if you will be returning to quilt within a day.
Turn on the back switch rst by toggling the switch
from the “0” position to the “1” position. en
turn on the front switch by toggling it as well. e
front switch will not turn on the machine unless
the back switch is already on.
IMPORTANT: If you will not be using the ma-
chine for more than a day, we recommend you
turn o both switches and unplug the power cord
from the power source.
IMPORTANT: Refer to the safety instructions.
Eyelets
Figure 11
Installing the
Thread Mast
Locate the threaded hole on top of the machine
near the rear by the handwheel. e thread mast
comes with the washer and nut on it. Remove the
nut and washer, replace the nut onto the mast and
then place the washer under the nut and onto the
machine painted surface. e washer protects the
painted surface when the nut is tightened. Tighten
the mast clockwise until it is securely in place. Use
the nut to secure the mast to the machine.
NOTE: e eyelets of the thread mast must
be centered over the spool pins—so the cone
will not pull, turn or tilt, causing thread
tension problems (Figure 11).
