Memo

INSTALLING THE CUTWORK NEEDLES

About the Cutwork Needles

The four cutwork needles (multi-needle machine needles No. 1 through No. 4 with blades in different orientations) can be installed to cut fabric automatically.

Each needle has a blade at a different fixed angle. The machine uses the needle at the angle appropriate for the orientation of the cutting line. Be sure to install the needles at their specified positions.

1 The needle is marked with a specific number,

depending on the blade angle. Install the needle so that this number is in the same position as the machine’s needle bar number.

2 The needle is marked with a specific color,

depending on the blade angle. This, together with the needle number, allows the cutwork needle type to be identified.

3 Each needle has a blade at a different angle

(in 45° increments), and the machine cuts the fabric with the blade at the angle appropriate for the orientation of the cutting line.

Installing the Needle Plate Spacer

Installing the spacer prevents the fabric that is being cut out from getting caught in the machine's needle plate while creating cutwork. Before installing a cutwork needle, install the spacer.

• Once the needle plate spacer has been installed, leave it installed. With the spacer still installed, you can continue to perform all embroidering functions including cutwork.

Turn off the embroidery machine.

Remove the needle plate, and then open the

hook cover.

• The machine will automatically change needles when cutting around a desired shape.

The following specific information appears on the cutwork needle.

• Do not use the cutwork needles with machines incompatible with the cutwork functions.

INSTALLING THE CUTWORK NEEDLES

Note

CAUTION

Note

Install the spacer as shown in the following

illustration.

1 Position the spacer so that it hooks around the

elliptical notch.

2 Position the spacer so that it surrounds the

screw head.

3 Slide the spacer in the direction of the arrow

to secure it.

Replace the needle plate, and then close the

hook cover.

Turn off the embroidery machine.

• Be sure to turn off the embroidery machine before replacing the needles, otherwise injuries may result if the machine starts sewing.

Loosen the needle set screw and remove the

needle.

Hold the needle with your left hand, and then hold the Allen screw driver in your right hand and turn the needle set screw counterclockwise.

• Be sure to close the hook cover after installing the spacer. The spacer becomes ineffective if the hook cover is left open.

Replacing the Cutwork Needles

■ To install the cutwork needles

When installing or replacing the cutwork needles, use the Allen screwdriver included with the machine and follow the procedure below.

• Be sure to use the included Allen screw driver to replace the needle, otherwise too much force may be applied to the needle, causing it to break.

• Do not apply extreme force when loosening or tightening the needle set screw, otherwise the machine may be damaged.

INSTALLING THE CUTWORK NEEDLES

ENGLISH

Note

CAUTION

Note

Install the cutwork needle in the cutwork

needle-changing tool.

Hold the cutwork needle-changing tool with the notch upward. With the needle point down, insert the cutwork needle into the mounting hole.

Insert the needle so that the shape of the needle base aligns with the shape of the mounting head in the tool.

With the flat side of the needle toward the

back of the machine, insert the needle into the needle chamber, pushing the needle upwards until it touches the needle bar stopper.

Hint: Pass the needle through the hole in the presser

foot first, and then use the cutwork needle-changing tool to lift up the needle.

• Install the cutwork needle with the color and number corresponding to the needle bar on the machine, referring to “About the Cutwork Needles” on page 15.

a Mounting hole b Notch c Needle base d Mounting head

• When inserting the cutwork needle in the cutwork needle-changing tool, the needle should naturally hold in place when it is released, without unnecessary force applied.

While holding the needle in place with your

left hand, tighten the needle set screw.

Use the Allen screw driver to turn the needle set screw clockwise.

• Cutwork needles are shorter than traditional embroidery needles, be sure to insert the needle in the needle bar chamber until it reaches the needle bar stopper and securely tighten the needle set screw with the Allen screw driver, otherwise the needle may break or the machine may be damaged.

■ Recommended time for replacement

The cutwork needles must be replaced if any of the following occur.

z A loud noise is produced when it pierces the fabric. z As compared to immediately after the needle has

been replaced, there are prominent uncut areas (the cut edges are rough, etc.).

z Nicks can be seen in the blade.

• When replacing the needles, be sure to use

cutwork needles specifically for embroidery machines. To purchase the cutwork needle set, contact your nearest authorized dealer.
