. Machine (about the sewing machine)

Precautions for use

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
6. starting work.

1. The range of belt-loop feeding length (the entire length of a belt-loop shown on the
operation panel) is from 58 mm to 130 mm. If the belt-loop feeding length exceeding the aforementioned range is set, an error will occur.
2. In the case "distance B + distance D" exceeds 66 mm for pattern No. 4 or No. 5, "dis-
tance B + loosening amount/2" exceeds 66 mm for pattern Nos. 7 and 12, or "distance B + loosening amount" exceeds 66 mm for pattern Nos. 9 and 11, an error will occur.
3. The dimensions of the belt loop sewing shape displayed on the operation panel are
only for reference. The dimensions vary according to the belt-loop material. Be sure to
adjust the settings of belt loop dimensions so that your desired nished dimensions
are achieved.
* Numerical values shown in parentheses are set values. They are not the nished dimen-
sions.

1. For belt loop shapes Nos. 5 and 7, auxiliary clamps 4 and 6 are damaged since they are rubbed by the fork pin which rolls the belt loop. If the auxiliary clamps are heav­ily damaged, they can deform or break. It is necessary to periodically change auxiliary clamps with new ones.
2. Install the auxiliary clamps at right angles to garment body pressers 1 and 2. Be sure to check that the auxiliary clamps do not interfere with other parts.

* 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 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-

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

When you use a new belt loop, you need to set the belt loop thickness without exceptions. If the belt loop has multi-layered parts (splices), thickness of the multi-layered part has also to be set.

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 conrm no
