2.
Wide-range
The X and Y scale can be independently set 0.01 to 4 times the sizeofthe original pattern. This is further
supported by the machine's unique function whereby pattern enlargement/reduction is done by increasing or
decreasing the stitch length or the number of stitches. The combination of these functions permits highly
flexible pattern enlargement and reduaion.

As for input through the main unit, the feed is operated by meansofa switch in the operation panel. In this

Starts/ends at sewing start point or the 2nd origin
Descends when the feeding frame switch is pressed. Another press
on the switch causes the feeding frame to ascend.
The machine is started by turning the start switch ON with the
feeding frame down.
Used to stop machine operation during a stitching cycle. After a
temporary stop, the feeding frame can be moved along the stitching
line by operating the backward or forward switch. The interrupted
stitching cycle can be completed by pressing the start switch.
Alternatively, the return to origin switch may be pressed for quick
move to the sewing start point or the 2nd origin.
When the write-protect tab is moved so as to open the write-protect hole, it is no longer possible to write
data on to the disk. Do this to store programming data. For writing data on to the disk, move the write-

Precautions when handling and storing the floppy disk
1) Do not open the shutter and touch the magnetic surface.
2) Do not apply pressure on the shutter plate or the opening/closing spring (slider), or else the disk may
become damaged.
3) Do not allow the hub to become damaged and do not use the disk with dust on the hub, or else errors
may occur. Always keep the hub clean.
4) Do not use thinner, alcohol or Freon gas on the disk.
5) Do not use erasers on the disk.
6) Do not eat or drink near the disk.

Counter
Counts the number of garments sewn, and indicates when to replace the bobbin by means of an alarm. When
the quantity of the bobbin thread has been reduced to the preset level, the counter flashes on and off urging
you to replace the bobbin. Sewing is not possible while the counter is flashing on and off. Press the reset
switch after replacing the bobbin, and the counter will be reset to "000", allowing the machine to be restarted.
(The counter switch is turned OFF at the time of delivery.)
5.Set ready switch/READY (Sewing LED)
Sets off the following series of operation when pressed after setting the pattern No., X/Y scale, counter and
scale switch (INC/DEC of stitch length or INC/DEC of number of stitches):
1) The specified pattern or patterns are read from the floppy disk.
2) Operation is performed based on the entered scale data. While the compulation is being executed, the
sewing LED (READY) flashes on and off.

Forward/Backward
When the forward switch is pressed with the feeding frame down, the material is fed forward by one stitch.
When the backward switch is pressed with the feeding frame down, the material is fed backward by one
stitch. If these switches are kept pressed, the material is fed slowly for the first stitch, after which it is
automatically fed quickly.
7.Return to origin
When this switch is pressed during a temporary stop, the feeding frame will automatically move to the
sewing start point or the 2nd origin, and the feeding frame will go up and stop.
8.Jog keys (Numeric key 2, 4, 6, 8: A mark)
These keys function as numeric keys while the READY lamp is OFF, and work as jog keys while the
READY lamp is ON. If any of these keys is pressed with the feeding frame down at the sewing start, the
needle will move in the direction shown by the arrow on the pressed key. At this time, the movementofthe
needle is automatically stored in memory. Set the 2nd origin at the desired position within the material
feeding range.

Motor
A 400W, 4-pole electronic-slop motor is used for the sewing machine motor. The clutch brake disk components are
compatible with a general lockstitch sewing machine motor.
1. Structure of the motor and how the motor speed is changed
The following diagram shows the structure of the electronic-stop motor. As long as the power of the machine
stays ON, the motor (rotor, flywheel, and clutch disk) runs constantly. The clutch ring is connected to the output
shaft through the splines, so it rotates together with the output shaft, and can slide crosswise.
When the clutch coil is energized, lines of magnetic force are produced as shown by the solid line arrow, and the
clutch ring is pressed against the clutch disk, thereby transmitting the motor rotation to the output shaft. When
the brake coil is energized, lines of magnetic force are produced as shown by the broken line arrow, and the
brake ring is pressed against the brake disk (constructed integral with the pulley side bracket, and does not turn),
thus stopping the rotation of the output shaft.
At medium speed, the clutch coil and the brake coil are energized for a short period of time alternately for
rotation.
