with the Singer 301A if it is pluged in it is on so I just flip the surge protecter off, that saves wear and tear on a 53 year old plug.
with the Bernina 1630 - I leave the program, turn off the machine, then flip the switch on the surge protector....take NO chances with this darling diva.
with the serger, the switch has an off position but since it is a 'rocker'(three position switch)I do not take chances I switch to the off position and then flip the switch on its surge protector.
Electric shocks are not my favorite thrill...and as for needles (knock on wood) sewing now for 68 years and not sewn any body part, yet ......... ok, if this is TMI, sorry
