7. Explanation of operations

(1)Stitching operations

[1] Reconfirm the stitching data before starting. Take special care to the set stitching speed.

[2] The stitching speed is determined according to the set speed and stitch length. The maximum stitching speed is

determined by the speed setting, and the stitch length limits the stitching speed.

[Caution] Do not change the sewing machine stitching speed during operation except in emergencies.

(Changing the speed can cause fault such as thread catching faults.)

[3] Set the material to be stitched, and turn the work holder switch ON. Next, when the start switch is turned ON, the

sewing machine will start rotating and stitching. Once started, stitching will continue even the operator's foot is released from the start switch. When the stitching is completed, and the work holder returns to the home position, the sewing machine will stop and the work holder will automatically rise.

Start stitching

Take down the work holder

(2)Halting

To stop during the stitching, press the HALT switch (installed on sewing machine head; refer to following drawing). The sewing machine will stop at the needle UP position. (Standard default setting.) To cancel the halted state, press the HALT switch again. The following operations will be possible when the halted state is canceled.

[1] Restart of stitching by pressing start switch. (gray pedal)

[2] Movement to stitching start position with forward jog/reverse jog icons.

[3] Lifting of work holder by pressing work holder switch. (black pedal)

[4] Change of stitching speed by setting stitching speed.

[5] Lifting/lowering of presser bar lifting.

[Note] The needle position during the halted state can be set with the program mode .

[Sewing machine head]

HALT switch

[3] - 5

(3)Restitching methods

Restitching can be carried out using the previously explained halt function. If the operation is halted due to needle thread breakage, etc., set the needle at the UP position, and then using the forward jog/reverse jog icons, move to the position where the thread broke. Tie the needle thread, etc., and restart stitching by pressing the start switch.

Caution

If the needle must be thread while the power is ON, do not turn on the start switch while threading. Doing so initiates machine rotation, resulting in an extremely dangerous situation. To ensure that the start switch is not turned on during threading, take measures such as moving the start switch away from your feet.
