7. Do not use bent needles.
8. Do not pull or push fabric while stitching. It may deect the needle causing it to break.
9. Do not carry out sewing with a marking pin stuck in the material since doing so can cause knife/
needle breakage. In addition, do not attempt to cut anything other than fabric and thread with
the upper/lower knives.
10. Switch the sewing machine off “O” when making any adjustments in the needle area, such as
threading needle, changing needle, threading looper, or changing presser foot and the like.
11. Always unplug the machine from the electrical outlet when removing covers, when covers are
opened to thread the loopers, when lubricating or when making any other user servicing adjustments mentioned in the instruction manual.
12. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
13. Do not use outdoors.
14.
Do not operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being administered.
15. To disconnect, turn all controls to the off “O” position, then remove plug from outlet.
16. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
17. Basically, the machine should be disconnected from the electricity supply when not in use.
18. If the power cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced with a special cord by your
nearest authorized dealer or service center.
19. (Except USA/Canada) This machine is provided with double insulation.

Congratulations on your purchase of a JUKI sewing machine.
Please be sure to read safety precautions in “To use the sewing machine safely” in the Instruction
Manual before use to fully understand the functions and operating procedures of the sewing machine so as to use the sewing machine for a long time.
After you have read the Instruction Manual, please be sure to keep it together with the warranty so
that you can read it whenever necessary.
To use the sewing machine safely
Marks and pictographs included in the Instruction Manual and shown on the sewing machine are
used so as to ensure safe operation of the sewing machine and to prevent possible risk of injury to
the user and other people.
Warning marks are used for different purposes as described below.
WARNING
Indicates that there is a possible risk of death or serious injury if this
mark is ignored and the sewing machine is used in a wrong manner.
CAUTION
Indicates the operation, etc. which can cause a possible risk of personal injury and/or physical damage if this mark is ignored and the sewing
machine is used in a wrong manner.
Pictographs mean the following:
3
● Do not wipe the sewing machine with solvent
such as thinner.
When the sewing
machine is soiled, put
a small quantity of
neutral detergent on a
piece of soft cloth and
carefully wipe off the
sewing machine with it.
● Be sure to use the sewing machine in the
temperature range from 5ºC to 40ºC.
If the temperature is excessively low, the
machine can fail to operate normally.
WARNING
For the combination of the material and the thread and needle, in particular, refer to the explanation
table in “Replacement of the needle”.
If the needle or thread does not match the material used such as in the case that an extra heavyweight material (e.g., denim) is sewn with a thin needle (#11 or higher), the needle can break resulting in an unexpected personal injury.
Other precautions
● Do not put the sewing machine under the
direct sunlight or in a humid place.
Be aware that the following state can take place since the sewing machine incorporates semi-conductor electronic parts and precise electronic circuits.
* The operating temperature of the sewing machine is between 5ºC and 40ºC. Do not use the sew-
ing machine under the direct sunlight, near the burning things such as a stove and candle, or in a
humid place. By so doing, the temperature in the interior portion of the sewing machine can rise or
the coating of the power cord can melt, causing re or electrical shock.

Attaching the foot control
Plug foot control into the machine socket (A) and then into
main socket (B). The foot control regulates the sewing speed.
The sewing speed can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the pressure on the foot control.
“WARNING’’
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the
other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to t
in a polarized main socket only one way.
If the plug does not t fully in the polarized main socket, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied electri-
cian to install the proper polarized main socket. Do not modify
the plug in any way. (for USA, Canada only)

Waste collector
Clip the waste collector into the opening on the looper cover.
It catches the cut-off fabric as you sew, keeping your working
area neat and tidy.
Preparing the machine / Using the machine
Thread / cones /
spools
The anti-vibration cone
should be used with the
wider edge at the bottom on
the spool holder pin when
sewing with cones.
Large spools
If large industrial spools are
used, position the anti-vibration cone upside down on the
spool holder pin, i .e. with the
wider edge at the top.
Household spools
Remove the anti-vibration
cones. Place spools on
spool holder pins and push
the spool caps on with the
rounded side downwards.
Thread net
If the threads slip and get
twisted, cover the looper
spools with the net supplied in
the accessory bag.

The sewing machine is equipped with a safety device in
order to prevent malfunction. In any of the following cases,
the safety device works to prevent the sewing machine
from running.
* When the looper cover is opened
* When the cloth plate is opened
* When the presser foot is raised
Main Power/light switch
The main power/light switch is conveniently placed on the
handwheel side of the machine in front of the socket.
0 = Off
I = On with light
Handwheel
The handwheel turns forward, i.e. in the same direction as
on a household sewing machine.
* The needle is brought to its upper end by
aligning the “
” marking on the side of the front
cover with the “

Two step presser foot lifter with integrated front
foot lift
To raise the presser foot, lift the presser foot lever on the rear
of the machine, until it engages (A). It can be raised again to
the maximum height and held in this position to provide more
space between presser foot and stitch plate (B).
When the foot is raised (A and B), the front of the foot is automatically lifted.
Note:
When the presser foot is raised, all the tensions are released
making it easier to thread the machine.
Changing the presser foot
Switch the machine off (power switch”0”) and deactivate the upper knife.
• Raise the presser foot.
• Turn handwheel towards you until needles are fully raised.
Match the matching up marks on handwheel and side cover.
Press the catch (C) to release the presser foot from the
clamp. Raise the presser foot shank to the highest position (B)
and remove the presser foot to the left. To attach the presser
foot, place it under the shaft. The groove in the shaft should
line up exactly with the presser foot pin (D). Lower the presser foot lifting lever and check that the groove in the shank
should line up exactly with the presser foot pin (D). If it is not
lined up, press the catch (C) to line up.
