FOR SAFE OPERATION
1.Don't put your hand under the needle when you turn "on" the power switch or operate
the machine.
2.Don't put your hand into the thread take-up cover while the machine is running.
3.Turn the power switch before tilting the machine head or removing the belt cover
and the V belt.
4.Never bring your fingers, hair or clothing close to, or place anything on the handwheel,
V-belt, bobbin winder wheel or motor during operation.
5.If your machine is provided with a belt cover, finger guard and safety plate, never
operate your machine with any of them removed.
6.The hook rotates at a high speed while the machine is in operation. To prevent possible
injury to hands, be sure to keep your hands away from the vicinity of the hook during
operation. In addition, be sure to turn the power to the machine when replacing
the bobbin.
7.When tilting the machine head, exercise care not to allow your fingers etc. to be caught
under the machine head.
8.Do not wipe the surface of the machine head with lacquer thinner.
9.Never operate the machine unless its oil pan has been filled with oil.
10.Don't use a motor pulley of a larger outside diameter than the standard outside diameter
for the first onemonth.
11. Confirm that the voltage and phase (single- or 3-phase) are correct by checking them
against the ratings shown on the motor nameplate.
12,In case of maintenance, inspection, or repair, be sure to turn the power switch
and confirm that the sewing machine and the motor have completely stopped before
starting the work. (In case of the clutch motor, it continues rotating for a while by the
inertia even after turning the power switch. So, be careful.)

7. ADJUSTING THE AMOUNT OF OIL ( OIL SPLASHES ) IN THE HOOK
When carrying out the procedure described below in 2, remove the slide plate and take extreme
caution not to allow your fingers to come in contact with the hook.
1) If the machine has not been sufficiently warmed up for operation, make the machine run idle for
approximately three minutes. (Moderate intermittent operation)
2) Place the amount of oil (oil spots) confirmation paper under the hook while the sewing machine
is in operation.
3) Confirm the height of the oil surface in the oil reservoir is within the range between
"HIGH" and "LOW.
4) Confirmation of the amount of oil should be completed in five seconds.
(Check the period of time with a watch)
*
1) The amount of oil shown in the samples on the
left should be finely adjusted in accordance
with sewing processes. Be careful not to
excessively increase / decrease the amount of
oil in the hook. (If the amount of oil is too small,
the hook will be seized (the hook will be hot).
If the amount of oil is too much, the sewing
product may be stained with oil.)
2) Adjust the amount of oil in the hook so that the
oil amount (oil splashes) should not change
while checking the oil amount three times
(on the three sheets of paper).
Sample showing the apprpriate amount of oil
WARNING:
Be extremely careful about the operation of the machine since the amount of oil has to be
checked by turning the hook at a high speed.

WARNING:
To avoid possible personal injury due to abrupt start of the machine, turn off the power to the machine
and check to be sure that the motor has totally stopped rotating in prior.
1) Turning the oil amount adjustment screw attached
on the hook driving shaft front bushing in the "+"
direction (in direction ) will increase the amount
of oil (oil spots) in the hook, or in the irection
(in direction ) will decrease it.
2) After the amount of oil in the hook has been properly
adjusted with the oil amount adjustment screw,
make the sewing machine run idle for approximately
30 seconds to check the amount of oil in the hook.

20. TILT OF THE FEED DOG
1) The standard tilt (horizontal) of the feed dog is
obtained when marker dot on the feed bar
shaft is aligned with marker dot on feed rocker
(251-140040H, the marker dot inclines
forward the feed rocker shaft by 90 , as standard).
2) To tilt the feed dog with its front up in order to
prevent puckering, loosen the setscrew, and turn
the feed bar shaft 90 in the direction of the arrow,
using a screwdriver.
3) To tilt the feed dog with its front down in order to
prevent uneven material feed, turn the feed bar
shaft 90 in the opposite direction from the arrow.
(The standard tilt for 251-140040H.)

NOTE
Whenever the feed dog tilt is adjusted,
the feed dog height will be changed.
So, it is necessary to check the height
after tilt adjustment.
WARNING:
To avoid possible personal injury due to abrupt start of the machine, turn off the power to the machine
and check to be sure that the motor has totally stopped rotating in prior.
21. ADJUSTING THE FEED TIMING
NOTE
Be careful not to move the feed
eccentric cam too far, or else Nee
dle breakage my result
1) Loosen screws and in feed eccentric cam ,
move the feed eccentric cam in the direction of the
arrow or opposite direction of the arrow, and firmly
tighten the screws.
2) For the standard adjustment, adjust so that the top
surface of feed dog and the top end of needle eyelet
are flush with the top surface of throat plate when
the feed dog descends below the throat plate.
3) To advance the feed timing in order to prevent
uneven material feed, move the feed eccentric cam
in the direction of the arrow.
4)To delay the feed timing in order to increase stitch
tightness, move the feed eccentric cam in the
opposite direction from the arrow.

22. MOTOR PULLEYS AND BELTS
1) A clutch motor with 400W output (1/2 HP) is used as the standard motor
2) An M-type V belt should be used.
3) The relationship between the motor pulleys, belt lengths and sewing speeds is shown in the
following table:
* The effective diameter of a motor pulley is equivalent to the outside diameter minus 5 mm.
* The motor should rotate counterclockwise as observed from the handwheel side.
Be careful not to allow the motor to rotate in reverse direction.
