I. 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.

6. In the case drainage water accumulates in the regulator section, expel it from there before

starting work.

7. Be sure to turn ON the power to the sewing machine after returning the loop clamp (loop

feeder unit) inside the unit cover.

* Be aware that the loop clamp interferes with the unit when the ready key is pressed while

the loop clamp rests on the sewing machine side after the power to the machine is turned

1. Conguration

This machine consists of the following eleven sections

The machine is able to automatically sew desired shoelace loop only by operating the start switch after having placed a material (garment body) at the predetermined position on the machine. When you press emergency stop switch H, the power to the devices are turned OFF to stop them. A Mechanical section of the main body structure (table stand, table, covers, start switch, etc.) B Loop feeder unit (loop feeding device, loop drawing device, heat cutter) C Loop tension releasing unit D Pneumatic control equipment section (pneumatic equipment, pneumatic piping, etc.) E Sewing machine section

Control device

G Operation panel 　 H Emergency stop switch I Heat cutter controller

Power switch

K Heat cutter controller power switch

Heat the heat cutter to enable its operation, it is necessary to turn ON the heat cutter controller power switch K. The power switch of the heat cutter is independent from the sewing machine power switch. It is therefore necessary to turn OFF not only the heat cutter controller power switch but also sewing machine power switch J when the sewing machine is not used. In addition, it should be remembered that the heat cutter requires a certain period of time until

it becomes sufciently hot for use after turning ON the power switch. To ensure that the heat

cutter is operable whenever necessary, be sure to turn ON heat cutter controller power switch

K in prior and check that the heat cutter temperature is sufciently high. (For the adjustment

of temperature, refer to "I.5-8. Adjusting the heat cutter temperature" p.20.)

an emergency stop, operate the power switch.

(2) Precautions with the emergency stop switch

When emergency stop switch ❶ stays ON, the sewing machine cannot be powered up even if you turn

ON/OFF the power switch. The work clamp foot of the sewing machine may depress the loop clamp or

the loop loosening rod according to the operation timing of emergency stop switch ❶. If this phenome-

non occurs, turn OFF the power to the sewing machine and manually lift the work clamp foot of the sew-

ing machine to move it so as to avoid interference. Then, re-turn ON the power to the sewing machine.

5-2. Winding a bobbin

(1) To wind a bobbin while the sewing machine is performing sewing

Thread the bobbin winder and wind the bobbin

thread onto the bobbin as illustrated in the gure.

(2) To wind a bobbin independently

In the case you only want to carry out bobbin winding

on the sewing machine, unthread the needle and remove

the bobbin from the hook.

① Displaying the bobbin thread winding screen

Press bobbin winding button A on the shoelace loop data

input screen (blue), and the bobbin winding screen appears on

the screen.

② Starting bobbin winding

Press the start switch, and the sewing machine rotates to start

bobbin winding.

③ Stopping the sewing machine Press stop button B, and the sewing machine stops and

returns to the normal mode. If you press the start switch again

during bobbin winding, the sewing machine stops under the bob-

bin winding mode. If you press the start switch again in this 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 rst, then press

the set ready key to invoke the sewing screen. In

this state, the bobbin winding function is enabled.

5-3. Thread clamp device

Trouble of sewing (slip-off of needle thread, stitch skipping, or stain of needle thread) at the time of high-

speed start can be prevented with the thread clamp device.

The thread clamp device will operate when the thread clamp button has been selected , but it will

not operate when the thread clamp button has not been selected .

Changeover of ON/OFF motion is performed with key. When the thread clamp device is in the OFF state, the sewing machine is automatically set to the soft-start mode.

1. When memory switch is "1" (prohibited), the thread clamp does not work. Fur-

thermore, the thread clamp key will not be displayed.

2. Memory switch, refer to "II.2-26. How to change the memory switch data" p.75.

* 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 remaining 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.

1) In case of with the needle thread clamp, the

standard of the length of needle thread is 33 to

36 mm.

33 to 36 mm

2) When needle thread is long after replacing thread

or the like or sewing while holding needle thread

by hand, turn OFF the THREAD CLAMP

key.

3) When the needle thread held with the thread

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.

In addition, thread waste could accumulate around the hook due to thread trimming when the thread

clamp device is used. Be sure to periodically clean inside the hook cover referring to "II.1-12. Cleaning

inside the hook cover" p.113.

5-4. Placing a shoelace loop

❸

❹

❷

❶

Pass the loop through guide ❶, pull up lever ❷ at

the roller section and insert the loop under roller ❸.

When you route the shoelace loop

under the gear, insert it until it appears

from the loop cutting knife.

* When the heat cutter controller power is ON, a

shoelace loop is fed by means of the motor by

pressing loop feeding switch ❹ of the heat cutter

controller is pressed.

When the machine is used under a high shoelace loop tension, the entire length of the fed shoelace loop is shortened. In such a case, malfunctions such that the shoelace of the predetermined length cannot be sewn or that the shoe-

lace loop cut edge is not straight can occur. To prevent those malfunctions, it is necessary to adjust the shoelace loop tension adequately.

5-5. Adjusting the shoelace loop tension

When you have changed the shoelace loop, you need to re-adjust

the shoelace loop tension without exceptions.

Press the shoelace loop tension button A on the sewing screen.

The more the shoelace loop tension is adjusted in a negative direction, the less the shoelace loop tension becomes. (The shoelace loop tension can be set and stored in memory on a sewing-pattern by sewing-pattern basis.) As a guide, adjust the shoelace loop tension so that the entire length of the shoelace loop fed from the shoelace loop feeding section and clamped at the loop clamping section is shorter than the entire shoelace loop length displayed when selecting a sewing pattern by approximately 1 mm. To change the shoelace loop length after the aforementioned

adjustment, nely adjust the feed length so that the entire loop

length as shown in the relevant sewing pattern is achieved, refer-

ring to in

p.72

If the sewing machine is operated under a high shoelace loop tension, the entire length of the shoelace loop fed becomes shorter than required. In this case, problems such that the shoelace loop cannot be sewing at the predetermined length or that the cut end of the shoelace loop is not straight can occur. To prevent such problems, adjust the shoelace loop tension adequately.

5-6. Method for changing the loop width

❶

❷

1) To change the loop width, loosen setscrew ❷ of

left-side shoelace loop guide ❶ and adjust the

guide width so that it matches the shoelace loop width. Lightly pressing guide ❶ against shoelace loop, adjust guide ❶ to allow the shoelace loop

smoothly pass through the guide with no lateral

play.

The right-side shoelace loop guide is

used as an across-the-width reference.

So, it is not necessary to adjust it every

time the loop width is changed. How-

ever, adjust the guide position in the

similar matter as described above if the

lateral position of shoelace loop does

not align with the reference.

2) Enter a value of shoelace loop width into shoe-

lace loop width setting section A on the opera-

tion panel screen. At the same time, change the

dimensions of a seam for attaching a shoelace

loop. Refer to "II.2-5. How to change the shoe-

lace loop length" p.32 for the method for

changing the seam dimensions.

If the bartacking width of which is ex-

tremely wider than the shoelace loop

width setting specified through the

operation panel is sewn, the garment

body presser and the loop clamp can

interfere with each other (error No.

M596). If the alarm is given, change the

bartacking width setting to decrease the

bartacking width.

time, sewing will be interrupted. Be

sure to keep the start switch fully

held pressed.

while the loop clamp clamps the

shoelace loop and travels to the

standby position after the comple-

tion of sewing. In that case, the loop

clamp will not stop at the standby

position but will move directly to

the sewing position to start the next

sewing. Be sure to exercise added

care during this procedure.

5-8. Adjusting the heat cutter temperature

Heat cutter

Heat cutter controller

It is necessary to adjust the heat cutter tempera-

ture so that it can cut the shoelace loop to be

sewn. (Standard temperature: 360 °C)

Gradually raise the heat cutter temperature while

carrying out trial stitching the shoelace loop to be

sewing until the heat cutter is hot enough to cut

the shoelace loop and weld the cut end without

fail. If the temperature is raised excessively high,

the loop cut end will melt and cut thread waste will

be likely to be produced. In such a case, lower the

heat cutter temperature.
