3-8. Cautions for the compressed air supply (source of supply air) facility

As large as 90 % of failures in pneumatic equipment (air cylinders, air solenoid valves) are caused by "contaminated air." Compressed air contains lots of impurities such as moisture, dust, deteriorated oil and carbon particles. If such "contaminated air" is used without taking any measures, it can a cause of troubles, inviting reduction in productivity due to mechanical failures and reduced availability. Be sure to install the standard air supply facility shown below whenever the machine provided with pneumatic equipment is used.

When our machine is installed at a place where the temperature great-

ly changes in the morning and in the evening from that in the daytime

or freeze is like to occur

In the aforementioned cases, be sure to install an air dryer.

When the supply air contains a considerable amount of carbon and dust

(Most troubles in the air solenoid valves are caused by carbon.)

Be sure to install a mist separator.

Standard equipment supplied by JUKI

Air cylinder

Cautions for main piping

• Be sure to slope main piping by a falling gradient of 1 cm per 1 m in the direction of air

ow.

• If the main piping is branched o󰀨, the outlet port of the compressed air should be pro-

vided at the top part of the piping using a tee in order to prevent drain settling inside

the piping from owing out.

• Auto drains should be provided at all lower points or dead ends in order to prevent the

drain from settling in those parts.

and upper line A is lled with oil. Fill there

2) Apply one drop of oil to the hook race ❶ part

to spread on it.

with oil using the oiler supplied with the ma-

chine as accessories when oil is short. (two

locations)

The lower oil tank is used for supplying the oil to the hook section. The upper oil tank

is used for supplying the oil to the crank gear section. It is possible to reduce the oil

amount when the number of rotation used is low and the oil amount in the hook portion

is excessive. (Refer to "III-1-12. Amount of oil supplied to the hook" p.97.)

1. Do not lubricate to the places other than the oil tank and the hook of Caution 2 below.

Trouble of components will be caused.

2. When using the sewing machine for the rst time or after an extended period of dis-

use, use the machine after lubricating a small amount of oil to the hook portion. (For

removing the shuttle, see “III-1-2. Adjusting the needle-to-shuttle relation” p.81.)

If the oil runs short, purchase the oil according to the table shown below.

5-2. Needle thread clamp device

Stitch failures (slip-o󰀨 of the needle thread, stitch skipping and needle-thread

stains) are prevented during the high-speed start procedure as well as

consistent sewing performance is ensured by operating the needle thread

clamp device. The needle thread clamp device can be turned ON/OFF with

THREAD CLAMP button A. The thread clamp device cannot be used

simultaneously with the bird’s nest reducing device. ( Refer to

nest reducing device" p.19

for details.)

* Matters that demand special attention when using the needle thread clamp device

For the thread clamp unit, there are S type and H type in accordance with the sewing types. Refer the

respective types and the contents of the memory switches that can be set to the list below.

2 : H type intermediate (#20 to #5)

3 : H type thick thread (#5 to #2)

– 17 –

Page 21

[Regarding H type thread clamp unit]

Change the set value of memory switch U069 in accordance with the thickness of needle thread.

The set value has been set to 1 : H type thin thread at the time of delivery. Commendable value is

Set value : 1 for thread count #50 to #8, Set value : 2 for thread count #20 to #5, and Set value : 3

for thread count #5 to #2. (The value will change in accordance with the kind and thickness of the

actual thread and the kinds of materials to be sewn.) Set the value by adjusting to the state of nee-

dle thread on the wrong side of materials.

In addition, it is possible to select the thread clamp position by means of memory switch U070.

When using thick thread of thread count #5 to #2, and rolling-in or tucking at the start of sewing

occurs, set the set value to 1 : Rear and use the machine. It is recommended to set U070 to “0:

Forward” if wrinkles are formed on the material and/or the material cannot be fed smoothly at the

beginning of sewing when a light-weight material or the like is used.

Use the set value of the memory switch which is adjusted to the thread clamp unit type.

(For S type thread clamp unit, the set value of U069 and U070 can use nothing but only “0”.)

When the setting is wrong, the thread clamp fails to properly function. So, be careful.

(1) When with thread clamp (motion), use the sewing machine after adjusting the needle thread length

at the start of sewing to 40 to 50 mm. When the needle thread length is too long, the needle thread

end held with the needle thread clamp may be rolled in the seams.

In case of with the needle thread clamp, the stan-

dard of the length of needle thread is 40 to 50 mm.

• To prevent the thread from slipping o󰀨 from the

needle eyelet at the beginning of sewing or to

40 to 50mm

prevent stitch skipping from the rst stitch

Adjust the length of needle thread longer

→

within the range.

• To prevent stitch skipping within the second to

tenth stitches from the beginning of sewing

Adjust the length of needle thread shorter

→

within the range

When needle thread is excessively long at the time of using the thick thread, the end of

needle thread held with the needle thread clamp is rolled in the seams, and slip of posi-

tion of material may occur or needle breakage may be caused.

(2) When the thread clamp is used, and bobbin thread at the sewing start appears on the right side

of material, reduce thread tension at the sewing start (2 to 3 stitches) and bobbin thread becomes

less conspicuous. [Example of setting] Tension of 1 to 2 stitches at the sewing start is “20” when sewing tension setting is “35”. * For setting of tension at the start of sewing, refer to

"II-2-6-2. Memory switch" p.60

2. Thread clamp failure may occur in the state that thread waste is jammed in the thread

rolled in even after performing adjustment of (1) or (2), use the sewing machine with thread clamp OFF.

clamp device. Remove the thread waste referring to "III-1-7. Needle thread clamp

device" p.89.

Page 22

5-3. Bird’s nest reducing device

When the bird’s nest reducing device is used, the needle thread is trimmed at the beginning of sewing.

As a result, the needle thread that remains on the reverse side of material is shortened, thereby reduc-

ing the formation of so-called bird’s nest (thread tangling) to contribute neater nish of the reverse side

of material. The trimmed thread is blown out from the righthand side by the air blower to be collected in

the cloth chip bag.

(1) In the case the bird’s nest reducing device

is turned ON, it is necessary to adjust the

needle thread length remaining at the needle

at the beginning of sewing to 40 to 50 mm

40 to 50mm

as in the case of operating the thread clamp

device. If the aforementioned needle thread

length is too long, the trimmed thread may be

entangled ivn the hook, causing the sewing

machine to be locked. On the other hand, if

the aforementioned needle thread length is

too short, the trimmed thread (thread waste)

cannot be collected but drop on the oor.

(2) Empty the cloth chip collection bag on a regu-

lar basis.

1. Be sure to use the wiper whenever the bird’s nest reducing device is used. If the inter-

mediate presser accidentally presses the needle thread, only the bobbin thread will be trimmed. As a result, the sewing machine cannot perform sewing at the beginning of sewing. Enable / disable of the wiper can be changed over with the memory switch

U051.

2. In the case the bird’s nest reducing device is disabled with the memory switch U035,

or in the case the shorter-thread remaining type is selected with the memory switch U322, the bird’s nest reducing operation cannot be selected. Refer to "III-1-6. The

moving knife and counter knife (Shorter-thread remaining type)" p.88 for the short-

er-thread remaining type model.

If the thread tension is excessive-

ly low at the beginning of sewing,

the length of needle thread to be

trimmed will be too long. In such a

case, the trimmed thread cannot be

blown out by the air blower, but will

be liable to remain inside the hook.

The thread tension to be applied to

the thread when sewing three stitch-

es (at the maximum) at the beginning

of sewing can be set with the mem-

ory switches U019 to U024. Refer to

"II-2-6-2. Memory switch" p.60.

in operation. The machine vibration can damage the port section resulting in loss of data stored on

the USB device or breakage of the USB device or sewing machine.

• Do not insert/remove a USB device during reading/writing a program or sewing data. It may cause

data breakage or malfunction.

• When the storage space of a USB device is partitioned, only one partition is accessible.

• Some type of the USB device may not be properly recognized by this sewing machine.

• JUKI does not compensate for loss of data stored on the USB device caused by using it with this

sewing machine.

• When the panel displays the communication screen or pattern data list, the USB drive is not recog-

nized even if you insert a medium into the slot.

• For USB devices and media such as CF cards, only one device/medium should be basically con-

nected/inserted to/into the sewing machine. When two or more devices/media are connected/in-

serted, the machine will only recognize one of them. Refer to the USB specications.

• Insert the USB connector into the USB terminal on the IP panel until it will go no further.

• Do not turn the power OFF while the data on the USB ash drive is being accessed.

1-6. The moving knife and counter knife (Shorter-thread remaining type)

WARNING :

Turn OFF the power before starting the work so as to prevent accidents caused by abrupt start of

the sewing machine.

Length of thread remaining on the material at the end of sewing can be reduced.

For synthetic lament thread #20, the length of thread remaining on the material at the end of sewing is

reduced by approximately 1 mm. It should be noted that the shorter-thread remaining function cannot

be used in conjunction with the bird's nest reducing device. The length of thread remaining on the wrong

side of the material is shortened only at the end of sewing.

The shorter-thread remaining function can be used simultaneously with the thread clamp function. With

these combined functions, stable sewing is ensured even when sewing starts at a high speed.

1) Loosen adjusting screw ❶ so that a clearance

❷

❸

When thread is caught at top end ❶ of the thread clamp, thread clamp becomes incomplete and sewing

trouble at the sewing start will be caused. Thread waste and lint are likely to accumulate in the sections

which are shown in the circles. The sections should therefore be periodically cleaned by removing the

throat plate and by blowing air through hole ❸ by removing rubber plug ❷ (two locations).

1-9. Raising the machine head

WARNING :

Tilt/raise the sewing machine head with both hands taking care not to allow your ngers to be caught

in the head.

Turn OFF the power before starting the work so as to prevent accidents caused by abrupt start of

the sewing machine.

❹

❸

To carry out work with the sewing machine raised, follow the steps of procedure described below.

1. Move feeding fame❸ to the rightmost po-

sition and x it there. Then mount machine

head grip❶ supplied with the unit by fully screwing it into position.

Holding machine head grip❶, lift the sewing machine in the direction of the arrow until the maintenance position (where machine head support❷ comes in contact with the table) is reached.

❶

Maintenance position of the sewing machine

❷

If a 20 kg or more load is neces-

・

sary to be applied to the position of machine head grip❶in order to lift the machine head, gas spring has outgassed. Be sure to replace the gas spring with a new one.

While raising the sewing machine,

・

gas spring❺ works to move the sewing machine in the direction of the arrow when the sewing machine is inclined by approximately 45 degrees of an angle with respect to the table. It is therefore necessary to lift the sewing machine until the maintenance position is reached while supporting the

sewing machine with both hands.

❺

3. Turn stopper release lever ❻ in the direction

of the arrow to secure the sewing machine.

Never operate stopper release lever❻at any position other than the maintenance position so as not to allow your hand or other part of body

to be caught between the sewing

machine and the table.

Machine head in the xed state

❻

To return the sewing machine to its initial position,

follow the steps of procedure described below.

1. Return stopper release lever❻to its initial

position. (Return the lever until it is xed.)

2. Carefully return machine head grip❶ to its

initial position with both hands.

If you return the sewing machine to

its initial position swiftly, the sewing

machine open/close lock mechanism

will work. In this case, slightly lift the

sewing machine from the position

where it is locked to reset the lock

mechanism. Then, carefully return

the sewing machine to its initial posi-

tion again.

1. To prevent the sewing machine from falling, be sure to raise the machine head after

xing table/stand (casters) at the leveled place so as to prevent it from moving.

2. Be sure to raise the machine after shifting feeding frame ❸ to the rightmost position

since X-feed cover ❹ interferes with the machine table causing breakage.

3. When the machine is raised, clean portion A of the bottom face of the machine to pre-

vent the surface of the machine table from being stained with oil.

4. When returning the machine head to its home position, hold the grip only while pre-

venting ngers from getting in the oil pan.

Do not place a hand on the oil pipe since the oil pipe can be folded without applying a

force.

1-10. Replenishing the designated places with grease

* Perform grease supplement when the errors below are displayed or once a year (either

one which is earlier).

If grease has decreased due to cleaning of the sewing machine or any other reasons, be

sure to immediately add grease.

When the sewing machine has been used for a certain number

of stitches, error "E220 Grease-up warning" is displayed. This

display informs the operator of the time of replenishing the

designated places with grease. Be sure to replenish the places

with the grease below. Then call the memory switch U245 ,

press CLEAR button A and set NUMBER OF STITCH-

ES D to "0".

Even after the display of the error "E220 Grease-up warning",

when RESET key B is pressed, the error is released,

and the sewing machine can be continuously used. Afterwards,

however, error code "E220 Grease-up warning" is displayed

every time the power is re-turning ON.

In addition, when the sewing machine is used further for a

certain period of time without replenishing the places with

grease after the display of error No. E220, error "E221 Grease-

up error" is displayed and the sewing machine fails to operate

since the error cannot be released even when the RESET key

is pressed.

When error "E221 Grease-up error" is displayed, be sure to

replenish the designated places below with grease. Then call

the memory switch U245 , press CLEAR button A and

set NUMBER OF STITCHES D “0”.

When RESET key B is pressed without replenishing the

designated places with grease, error code "E221 Grease-up

warning" is displayed every time the power is re-turning ON af-

terwards and the sewing machine fails to operate. So, be careful.

1. Error code E220 or E221 is displayed again

unless UMBER OF STITCHES D is changed to

"0" after replenishing the designated places

with grease.

When E221 is displayed, the sewing machine

fails to operate. So, be careful.

2. When GREASE APPLYING POSITION DISPLAY

button C is pressed in each screen, the

grease applying position can be conrmed in

the panel display. Be sure, however, to perform

the grease applying after turning OFF the pow-

er.
