PRECAUTIONS BEFORE STARTING OPERATION

1. Safety precautions

1) When turning the power on, keep your hands and fingers away from the area around/under the

needle and the area around the pulley.

2) Power must be turned off when the machine is not used, or when the operator leaves his/her seat.

3) The power must be turned off before tilting the machine head, installing or removing the “V” belt,

adjusting the machine, or when replacing.

4) Avoid placing fingers, hairs, bars etc. near the pulley, “V” belt, bobbin winder pulley, or motor

when the machine is operation. Injury could result.

5) Do not insert fingers into the thread take-up cover, under/round the needle, or pulley when the

machine is in operation.

6) If a belt cover, finger guard, and/or eye guard are installed, do not operate the machine without

these safety devices.

2. Precaution before Starting Operation

1) If the machine’s oil pan has an oil sump, never operate the machine before filling it.

2) If the machine is lubricated by a drop oiler, never operate the machine before lubricating.

3) When a new sewing machine is first turned on, verify the rotational direction of the pulley with

the power on. (the pulley should rotate counterclockwise when viewed from the pulley.)

4) Verify the voltage and (single or three) phase with those given on the motor nameplate.

3. Precaution for Operating Conditions

1) Avoid using the machine at abnormally high temperature (35℃ or higher) or low temperature (5

℃or lower). Otherwise, machine failure may result.

2) Avoid using the machine in dusty conditions.

3) Avoid using the machine in areas where too much electrical noise, resulted from the

high-frequency welder and others, is generated.

PREPARATION FOR OPERATION

1． Adjustment of needle bar stop position

1）、When the pedal is kicked down by heel, the

machine stops at “UP”

2）、When the pedal is “Neutral” the machine stops

at “Down”

CAUTIONS ON USE

1. Oiling

When a new sewing machine is used for the first time, or sewing machine left out of use for considerably long time is used again, replenish a suitable amount of oil to the portions indicated by arrow in the below figure.

2. Adjustment of oiling to rotating hook

3. Cautions on operation

a) When the power is turned on or off, keep

foot away from the pedal.

b) It should be noted that the brake may not

work when the power is interrupted or power failure occurs during sewing machine operation.

c) Since dust in the control box might cause malfunction or control troubles, be sure to keep the control box cover close during operation.

Do not apply a multimeter to the control circuit for checking; otherwise voltage of multimeter

might damage semiconductor components in the circuit.

OPERATION

1． Installation of needles

Note: Before installing the needles, be sure to turn off the power.

2． Winding of bobbin thread

Note: When bobbin thread is wound, keep the presser foot lifted.

Adjustment:

3． Selection of thread

It is recommended to use “S” twist thread in the left needle (viewed from front), and “Z’ twist thread in the right needle. When discriminate use of needle threads is impossible, use “Z” twist thread in both the needles. For bobbin thread, “S” twist thread as well as “Z” twist thread can be used.

4． Threading of needle threads

a) Pass each needle thread through thread guide A

Note: When thin slippery thread (polyester Thread or

filament thread, for example) is used pass the thread through thread guide B as well.

b) With the take-up lever located at the upper most position,

pass each needle thread in the order shown in the following figure.

ote: Pressing the upper thread loosening button shown in the figure below

opens the saucer of the upper thread tension adjuster, and the upper thread can easily pulled out.
