2. To prevent the occurrence of an inammation 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.
A
B
1) Before running the sewing machine, remove
rubber plug from the top of the machine arm,
and add oil through the oil inlet using accessory funnel supplied with the sewing machine.
2) Fill the oil tank with the oil until the top end of
oil amount indicating rod comes between the upper engraved marker line A and the lower engraved marker line B of oil amount indicating window .
If the oil is lled excessively, it will lead from the
junction between the oil shield and bed, or from
the junction between the rubber plug and bed,
or proper lubrication will not be performed. So,
be careful. In addition, when the oil is vigorously
lled, it may overow from the oil hole. So, be
careful.
* When oil is added until MAX. line A is reached,
the oil quantity becomes 600 cc.
* Check the oil quantity while the sewing ma-
chine is at rest.
* Check the quantity of oil in the oil tank by view-
ing the oil surface from the side of oil amount indicating window .
3) When you operate the sewing machine, rell oil if
the top end of oil amount indicating rod comes down to the lower engraved marker line B of oil amount indicating window .
4) When you operate the machine after lubrication,
you will see splashing oil through oil sight window if the lubrication is adequate.
* Note that the amount of the splashing oil is
unrelated to the amount of the lubricating oil.
1. When you use a new sewing machine or a sewing machine after an extended period of dis­use, use the sewing machine after performing break-in at 2,000 sti/min or less.
2. For the oil lubrication, purchase JUKI CORPORATION GENUINE OIL 7 (Part No. :
MML007600CA). In the case any oil other than JUKI CORPORATION GENUINE OIL 7 is used,
check the quantity of oil in the hook and in the frame before using the sewing machine. (Refer
to "11. Adjusting the amount of oil (oil splashes)" p. 11.)
3. Be sure to lubricate clean oil.
4. Be aware oil leakage can occur if the surface of added oil quantity exceeds MAX. line A.
5. Transporting the sewing machine with the sewing machine lled with oil can give rise to the
risk of oil leakage. Be sure to discharge oil from the sewing machine through drain cock .

12. Attaching the needle

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.
Use the specied needle for the machine. Use the
proper needle in accordance with the thickness of
D B
A
C
thread used and the kinds of the materials.
1) Turn the handwheel until the needle bar reaches
the highest point of its stroke.
2) Loosen screw , and hold needle with its indented part A facing exactly to the right in direction B.
3) Insert the needle fully into the hole in the needle
bar in the direction of the arrow until the end of
hole is reached.
4) Securely tighten screw .
5) Check that long groove C of the needle is facing exactly to the left in direction D.
When polyester lament thread is used,
if the indented part of the needle is tilted
toward operator's side, the loop of thread
becomes unstable. As a result, hangnail
of thread or thread breakage may occur.
For the thread that such phenomenon
is likely to occur, it is effective to attach
the needle with its indented part slightly
