control box on the table referring to the Instruction
Manual for the main body of the relevant sewing ma-
chine. Install the control box suspending plate on the
table with mounting bolts supplied with the unit. At
this time, insert the nuts and washers supplied with
the unit as accessories as shown in the gure so that
the motor unit can be securely xed on the table.

By making the following two changes, the SC-923 can be used with three different power supplies, i.e., single-phase 100 - 120 V, single-phase 200 to 240 V and 3-phase 200 to 240 V. * Only the control box which uses PWR-T PCB can
be changed.
Replacement of the power cords
Changing-round of connector ❶ on the PWR
PCB
1) Turn OFF the power with the power switch after checking that the sewing machine has stopped.
2) Draw out the power cord from the power recepta­cle after checking that the power switch has been turned OFF. Then wait for 5 minutes or more.
3) Loosen the screws which are used to secure the rear lid of the control box cover. Carefully open the rear cover.
4) Changing procedure of the power voltage
(Caution) If the supply power changing is carried out in
a wrong manner, the control box can break. Be extremely careful when taking the supply voltage changing procedure.
A. To change over the supply voltage from 200 - 240
V to 100 - 120 V
Change the power cord with the JUKI genuine cord
with the part number (M90355800A0). Change the earth cord with the one with the part number (M90345800A0).
Change over supply voltage changeover connector mounted on the PWR PCB with the connector for 100 V.
Connect the crimp style terminal of AC input cord to
the power plug as shown in the gure A.
B, C. To change over the supply voltage from 100 -
120 V to 200 - 240 V
Change the power cord with the JUKI genuine cord with the part number (M90175800A0).
Change over supply voltage changeover connector mounted on the PWR PCB with the connector for 200 V.
Connect the crimp contact of the AC input cord to the
power plug as illustrated in Fig. B for the 3-phase pow­er supply or as illustrated in Fig. C for the single-phase one.
5) Before closing the rear lid of the cover, ascertain again that the relevant parts have been correctly changed without fail.
6) Close the read lid while pressing it, taking care not to allow the wiring to be caught between the read lid of the cover and the main body of the control box. Then, secure the lid with the screws.
(Caution) Be sure to remove the con-
nector while holding its lock-
ingsectionwithyourngers.
Be extremely careful not to pull the connector forcibly.

III. FOR THE OPERATOR

1. Operating procedure of the sewing machine

1) Press ON button
of the power switch to turn
ON the power.
(Caution) If the power indication LED does not
light up even when turning ON the power switch, immediately turn OFF the power switch and check the voltage.
In addition, in such a case as this, re-turn
ON the power switch when 2 to 3 minutes
or more have passed after turning OFF the power switch.
2) For some machine head installed, the needle bar automatically rotates to its upper position if the needle bar is not there.
(Caution)WhenthepowertothesewingmachineisturnedONforthersttimeafterinstallation,itmay
require a longer time to get ready for operation since it carries out initialization procedure. In ad­dition, be sure not to place hands or any other article under the needle since the needle bar may move when the power is turned ON.
3) When depressing front part
of the pedal, the
sewing machine rotates at the number of revolu-
tions in accordance with the depressing amount. When the pedal is returned to the neutral posi­tion, the sewing machine stops.
4) When lightly depressing back part
of the pedal,
the presser goes up. (PFL type only)
5) When strongly depressing back part
of the
pedal, thread trimming is performed.

6) For some types of the sewing machine heads, it is possible to program various sewing patterns, using the operation panel, such as the reverse feed stitching at sewing start and that at sewing end. When you use CP-18 ❻ with your sewing machine, refer to "III-3. Operating procedure of
the sewing pattern" p.17 for details. When
you use any other operation panel with your sew­ing machine, refer to the Instruction Manual for the respective operation panel. (The gure given illustrates the case of the LU-2810ES-7.)
7) For some types of the sewing machine heads, re­verse feed is performed by pressing touch-back switch ❼. (The gure given illustrates the case of the LU-2810ES-7.)
8) When sewing is completed, press OFF button of the power switch to turn OFF the power switch after conrming that the sewing machine has stopped.
