I've found some very strange things in many manuals and instruction sheets. The Japanese have improved their command of English tremendously, but I remember many pages of hysterically funny instructions. One of my favorite cookbooks, a standard reference work written by a mother and daughter, left out some critical ingredients in a cake recipe. Nothing is foolproof. Few publications appear to be proofread, either.

If possible, i would take it to a Pfaff dealer to get the battery changed. Barbara (Pfaff 1471) My dealer is only 15 miles away

PILE is a more *general/historic* manner to specify a battery as in voltaic pile or carbon pile. and oddly none of my pfaff books including a service manual mentions the word pile.

Pile is used for what we call batteries in English in a number of languages -- alkaline flashlight batteries are "piles alcalines" in French. Not sure if that refers only to dry cells or what are more properly called batteries: in Spanish, there's a distinction made between pilas (flashlight cells) and baterias, car batteries.

You are so fluent in English, you will probably be amused by this site:
