IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The machine is not intended for use by children or mentally infirm persons without proper supervision.

This machine is designed and manufactured for household use.

When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the followings: Read all instructions before using this machine.

DANGER To reduce the risk of electric shock:

1. The machine should never be left unattended when plugged in. Always unplug this machine from the electric outlet immediately after using and before cleaning.

WARNING To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons:

1. Do not allow the machine to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when this machine is used by or children.

2. Use this machine only for its intended use as described in this instruction book.

3. Never operate this machine if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged, or dropped into water. Return this machine to the nearest authorized dealer or service center for examination, repair, electrical or mechanical adjustment.

4. Never operate this machine with any air openings blocked. Keep ventilation openings of this machine free from accumulation of lint, dust and loose cloth.

5. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.

6. Do not use outdoors.

7. Do not operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being administered.

8. Connect this machine to a properly grounded outlet only. See Grounding Instructions.

9. To disconnect, turn all controls to the off (“O”) position, then remove plug from outlet.

10. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

The design and specifications are subject to change without a prior notice.

Please note that on disposal, this product must be safely recycled in accordance with relevant National legislation relating to electrical/electronic products. If in doubt please contact your retailer

for guidance. (European Union only)

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of

electric shock.

1. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor.

2. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

3. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

4. This product is for use on a nominal 120 V circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. A. A temporary adaptor , which looks like the adaptor illustrated in Fig. C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Fig B. If a properly grounded outlet is not available, the temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by the metal screw.

outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

If a properly grounded outlet is not available,

contact a qualified electrician to install the

properly grounded outlet.

Refer to page II for more instructions.

Direct PC-Link

The MB-4 can be connected to the PC with the

USB cable included as standard accessory.

You need Digitizer MB for multi-needle software

(optional item) to operate the machine via direct

PC-link.

Connecting the Machine and PC

Start up the MB-4 and PC, and insert the type A

USB connector in to the PC.

Insert the type B USB connector into the USB port

on the machine.

q Type A USB connector w Type B USB connector

Transfer the embroidery pattern data files between

the machine and PC by using optional Digitizer

MB for multi-needle.

After the data transfer is finished, the LCD screen

will show the Ready to Sew mode display or return

to the previous screen, depending on the setting

you have made on Digitizer MB for multi-needle.

CAUTION:

Do not turn the power switch off or disconnect the

USB cable while the data transfer is in progress.

Otherwise the data will be lost or the memory will

be damaged.

NOTE:

Refer to instruction book of optional Digitizer MB

for multi-needle for further details.

Bobbin Threads

Cotton or spun rayon threads sizes 80 to 120 (74 to 100 dtex/2) are recommended for bobbin thread.

Do not use poor quality prewound bobbins.

Needles

Use the DB x K5Q1-NY, size 11 needles (Janome part number 770811000).

Stabilizers

To obtain the best quality embroidery, it is important to use stabilizers.

Types of stabilizer

Tear-away stabilizer:

Use tear-away stabilizers for stable woven fabrics.

Iron-on stabilizer: Fuse it to the wrong side of the fabrics with an iron.

Adhesive (Iron-on) Stabilizer

Place the Wrong side of fabric and the glossy side of the stabilizer together. Fold up a corner of the stabilizer and fuse it with an iron.

NOTES:

Fold up a corner of the stabilizer, to make it easier to peel off the excess stabilizer after stitching. Ironing temperatures vary depending on kind of adhesive type stabilizer.

Cut-away stabilizer: Use cutaway stabilizers for knits and all kinds of unstable fabrics.

Water soluble stabilizer: Use this stabilizer for cutwork or lace embroidery, and also for the right side of looped fabrics such as towelling to avoid loops coming through the embroidery.

Sticky stabilizer: This stabilizer is a sticky paper used for securing a small fabric or work that cannot be secured in the hoop. It is also used for velvet and other napped fabric that would be permanently marked by the hoop.

Usage:

The stabilizer should be attached to the wrong side of fabric. More than one layer may be required. Felt or stable fabrics do not need to be stabilized and you may embroider directly on them. For firm fabrics, you may place a thin paper under the fabric. The non-adhesive type should be used when embroidering fabric, which cannot be ironed or for sections, which are difficult to iron. Cut the stabilizer larger than the embroidery hoop and set it on the hoop so that the entire piece is fastened within the hoop to prevent looseness of the fabric.

Winding the Bobbin

z Place the thread cone (spool of thread) on the rear

most spool pin.
