insert the nut and washer supplied
with the unit as accessories as shown
in the gure so that the control box is
securely xed.
2) After the completion of installation of
the pedal sensor on the table, place

WARNING :
• To protect against personal injury resulting from abrupt start of the sewing machine, be sure to
turn the power OFF, unplug the machine and wait for ve minutes or more before installing the
pedal sensor.
•
To prevent damage of device caused by maloperation and wrong specifications, be sure to
connect all the corresponding connectors to the specied places. (If any of the connectors is
inserted into a wrong connector, not only the device corresponding to the connector can break
but also it can start abruptly, inviting the risk of personal injury.)
•
To prevent personal injury caused by maloperation, be sure to lock the connector with lock.
• As for the details of handling respective devices, read carefully the Instruction Manuals supplied
with the devices before handling the devices.

1) Insert the bobbin deep into the bobbin winder
spindle 1 unt
il it will go no further.
2) Pass the bobbin thread pulled out from the
spool rested on the right side of the thread stand
following the order as shown in the gure on the
left.
Then, wind clockwise the end of the bobbin
thread on the bobbin several times.
(In case of the aluminum bobbin, after winding
clockwise the end of the bobbin thread, wind
counterclockwise the thread coming from the
bobbin thread tension several times to wind the
bobbin thread with ease.)
3) Press the bobbin winder trip latch 2
direction of A and start the sew
in the
ing machine.
The bobbin rotates in the direction of C and the
bobb
in thread is wound up. The bobbin winder
spindle 1 automat
ically as soon as the winding
is nished.
4) Remove the bobbin and cut the bobbin thread
with the thread cut retainer 3.
5) When adjusting the winding amount of the bob-
bin thread, loosen setscrew 4 and move bobbin
winding lever 2 to the direction of A or B. Then
tighten setscrew 4.
To the direction of A : Decrease
To the direction of B : Increase
6) In case that the bobbin thread is not wound evenly on the bobbin, remove the handwheel, loosen screw
and adjust the he

irection of D when the winding amount of the bobbin
thread on the lower part of the bobbin is excessive and to the direction E when the winding amount of
the bobbin thread on the upper part of the bobbin is excessive.
After the adjustment, tighten screw 5.
7) To adjust the tension of the bobbin winder, turn the thread tension nut 7.
(Caution)
1. When winding the bobbin thread, start the winding in the state that the thread between the bobbin
and thread tension disk 6 is tense.
2. When winding the bobbin thread in the state that sewing is not performed, remove the needle thread
from the thread path of thread take-up and remove the bobbin from the hook.
3. There is the possibility that the thread pulled out from the thread stand is loosened due to the inu-
ence (direction) of the wind and may be entangled in the handwheel. Be careful of the direction of
the wind.

8. Lubrication
WARNING :
1. Do not connect the power plug until the lubrication has been completed so as to prevent
accidents due to abrupt start of the sewing machine,
2.
To prevent the occurrence of an inammation or rash, immediately wash the related portions if
oil adheres to your eyes or other parts of your body.
3.
If oil is mistakenly swallowed, diarrhea or vomitting may occur. Put oil in a place where children
cannot reach.

2)
When the oil level lowers below LOW mark B,
rell the oil pan with the specied oil.
3) When you operate the machine after lubrica-
tion, you will see splashing oil through oil sight
window 2
if the lubrication is adequate.
4) Note that the amount of the splashing oil is un-
related to the amount of the lubr
icating oil.
1. When you use a new sewing machine or a sewing machine after an extended period of dis-
use, use the sewing machine after performing break-in at 2,000 sti/min or less.
2. For the oil for hook lubrication, purchase JUKI NEW DEFRIX OIL No. 1 (Part No. : MD-
FRX1600C0) or JUKI MACHINE OIL #7 (Part No. : MML007600CA).
3. Be sure to lubricate clean oil.
9. Adjusting the amount of oil (oil splashes)
WARNING :
Be extremely careful about the operation of the machine since the amount of oil has to be checked
by turning the hook at a high speed.

* When carrying out the procedure described below in 2, remove the slide plate and take extreme caution
not to allow your ngers to come in contact with the hook.
1) If the machine has not been sufciently warmed up for operation, make the machine run idle for approxi-
mately three minutes. (Moderate intermittent operation)
2) Place the amount of oil (oil spots) conrmation paper under the hook immediately after the machine
stops running.
3) Conrm the height of the oil surface in the oil reservoir is within the range between “HIGH” and “LOW”.
4) Conrmation of the amount of oil should be completed in ve seconds. (Check the period of time with a
watch.)

WARNING :
Be sure to turn the power OFF before the following work in order to prevent personal injury due to
unintentional starting of the sewing machine.
1) The state given in the gure shows the appropr
ate amount of o
il (oil splashes). It is necessary
to nely adjust the amount of oil in accordance
with the sewing processes. However, do not
excessively increase/decrease the amount of oil
in the hook. (If the amount of oil is too small, the
hook will be seized (the hook will be hot). If the
amount of oil is too much, the sewing product
may be stained with oil.)
2) Adjust the amount of oil in the hook so that the
oil amount (oil splashes) should not change
while checking the oil amount three times (on
the three sheets of paper).
