Following items have to be checked every working day before the operation of the machine and before the start
of work hours.
1. Ascertain that the oil pan is lled with the predetermined amount of oil.
2. Never operate the machine unless the oil pan has been lled up with oil.
3. Ascertain that the pressure gauge indicates the designated air pressure of 0.5 MPa.
* (This is necessary particularly when the compressor is stopped for a lunch break or the
like.)
If the compressed air pressure is equal to or less than the designated value, troubles such
as interference between the parts can occur. It is therefore necessary to carefully check the
compressed air pressure.
4. Check whether the needle thread/bobbin thread need to be replenished.
5. To perform sewing immediately after turning ON the power switch, perform trial stitching
rst, then proceed with sewing of actual products after the test sewing.
In the case drainage water accumulates in the regulator section, expel it from there before

during bobbin winding, the sewing machine stops under the

state, the sewing machine re-starts bobbin winding. Use this
operating procedure when you want to wind thread on two or
more bobbins.
The bobbin winding will not start immediately after
turning the power ON. To activate the bobbin winding
function, set a pattern number or the like first, then
press the set ready key to invoke the sewing
screen. In this state, the bobbin winding function is
enabled.

* Matters that demand special attention when using the needle thread clamp
(1) In case of with the needle thread clamp (motion), make shorter the length of needle thread remain-
ing on the needle at the sewing start for use. When the length of needle thread is lengthened,
needle thread on the wrong side of material is apt to protrude. In addition, when the length is
excessively lengthened, the end of needle thread held by the needle thread clamp may be rolled in
the seams.
In case of with the needle thread clamp, the

clamp is rolled in the seams, do not draw the
material forcibly and cut the connecting needle
thread with the scissors or the like. The seams
are not damaged since it is the needle thread at
the sewing start.
-
(2) It is possible to adjust needle thread shorter by making the needle thread clamp work while holding
the stabilized sewing at the start of sewing and the gathering (bird's nest) of needle thread on the
wrong side of material can be lessened. However, for the pattern which the stitch length for neatly
rolling in needle thread is short, needle thread may protrude from the wrong side of material. Select
with/without thread clamp referring to the item below.
When the sewing length is short (less than ap-

When you route the belt loop under
the gear, insert it until it appears from
the belt loop cutting knife.
*
In the case the sewing machine is ON, when
multi-layered part detecting bracket 3 i
s pushed
up, the gear is rotated by the motor to feed the
belt loop.
Route the belt loop
in the direction of the arrow.
Finally, route the belt loop in the guide roller sec-
ion on the table to allow it to trail downward.
t
Position the belt loop below the guide
roller so as to prevent it from being
hitched or being applied with an excessive resistance at the time of belt
loop feeding.
In the case the optional belt loop feeding unit is to
be mounted on the sewing machine, route the belt
loop as illustrated in the gure at left.
The belt loop feeding unit is provided
with a capability of detecting two different errors; one is the case the belt
loop has knots and the other is the
case the belt loop cannot be fed due
to an excessive resistance.

The
ion, the less the belt loop tension becomes. (The belt loop ten-

ion can be set and stored in memory on a sewing-pattern by
sewing-pattern basis.)
As a guide, adjust the belt loop tension so that the entire length
of the belt loop fed from the belt loop feeding section and
clamped at the belt loop clamping section is shorter than the
entire belt loop length displayed when selecting a sewing pat
tern by approx
imately 1 mm.
If the sewing machine is operated under a high belt
loop tension, the entire length of the belt loop fed
becomes shorter than required. In this case, problems such that the belt loop cannot be sewing at
the predetermined length or that the cut end of the
belt loop is not straight can occur. To prevent such
problems, adjust the belt loop tension adequately.

5-6. Setting the belt loop thickness

thickness without exceptions. If the belt loop has multi-layered

determine that the belt loop is absent even if the

occurs, operate the sewing machine with the belt

If the belt loop thickness exceeds the aforementioned range, the belt loop clamping section and
the work clamp foot of the sewing machine can
interfere with each other. To prevent this, be sure
to perform trial stitching in prior to conrm no
interference between them. Then, start sewing.
