How do I change the batteries in my Singer 1774 Hand Held Mending Machine

[OWillow]

Changing the batteries in your Singer 1774 Hand Held Mending Machine is straightforward. First, make sure the device is switched to the LOCK/OFF position for safety. Then, find the battery compartment located on the back of the machine. Open the compartment and insert four AA Alkaline batteries, making sure to align the positive (+) and negative (-) ends of the batteries with the markings inside the compartment or consult the manual's diagram. It's crucial to replace all four batteries simultaneously with new Alkaline batteries to ensure optimal performance. Avoid mixing old and new batteries, and do not use Carbon Zinc or Heavy Duty batteries. Also, do not mix different battery types, such as Alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or rechargeable (ni-cad, ni-mh, etc.). Once the batteries are correctly inserted, your Singer 1774 should be ready to use. If you prefer, an AC/DC adapter can be used; please consult the Singer 1774's manual for specific instructions on how to use it.
