Caution
▶ Be sure to plug in after finishing oil supply.
▶ If the user steps on the pedal by mistake, the machine will start automatically, and this might lead to
physical injuries.
▶ When handling lubricant, use safety goggle or gloves to prevent the lubricant from coming into
contact with the eyes or skin.
▶ It can cause inflammation. And don’t drink the lubricant. It can cause vomiting or diarrhea. Please
keep it out of the reach from children.
▶ Make sure to supply oil when using it for the first time or after not using it for a long time.
9) Oil supply
⑴ Oil tank check
Fill the oil tank only to the red maximum line ②.
(See figure 15)
⑵ Hook tank check
Fill the hook tank only to the maximum line. While
using the machine, replenish the oil immediately when
the oil level goes down to the minimum level ③, back to
the red maximum level ①.
(See figure 16)
⑶ Lubrication
Be sure to supply oil into the oil holes marked red and the oil holes in the friction parts before operating the machine.
(See figure 17)
[Figure 15] [Figure 16]
[Figure 17]
①
Page 14
14
⑷ Lubrication check at hook
After 10-second operation of the machine, check the
amount of oil sprayed from the hook looks like the
picture in Figure 18. The amount of oil for the hook can
be adjusted by using the adjustment screw ① on the
hook base. The amount of oil supplied decreases when
the screw is turned clockwise, and increases when turned
counter-clockwise.
(see figure 18)
⑸ For test operation, run the machine for 10 minutes intermittently at about 1,500 SPM.
For the first 4~5 days of using the machine, operate the machine at less than 2,400 SPM per minute. Then, start using at
normal pace. This will help good performance of the machine along the way.
10) Checking stop position of the sewing
machine (for automatic trimming type)
After changing the up-down position of the needle by
pressing the reverse button, check the stop position of the
machine.
Check whether the thread take-up lever is in the highest
position when the needle is in up-stop position. When the
stop position is incorrect, there might be problems to the
trimming function, hence the photo film location of the
location detector must be corrected. That is, the needle upstop position is the same as the needle bar’s stop position
once the trimming action takes place. So there is no problem
with the timing of the trimming action. (See Figure 19)
(See ‘location detector adjustment’on page 12)
11) Reverse button function
(for automatic trimming type)
If the reverse button ① is pressed while sewing forward,
reverse sewing takes place immediately. If the machine is
stopped first and the button is pressed before stepping the
pedal to start the machine, reverse sewing will take place
from the start. Also by pressing button while the machine is
in stop position, the high-low position of the needle bar can
be changed. If the button is pressed once when the needle
bar is in down-stop position, the needle bar changes to up-
stop position. Once again, if the button is pressed twice
consecutively within 1 second, the needle bar changes to
down-stop position.
That is, it has both the reverse sewing and needle up-down
position change functions. (See Figure 20)

Adjustment of the Machine
3) Winding the lower thread
Insert the bobbin ⑧ into the hook ⑥. As seen in Figure 23,
insert the thread through part of the hook and pull it out
from the end of the lower thread tension adjustment plate
⑨. And then pull the thread through the clearance ⑪
between the hook ⑥ and opener ⑩. The adequate length of
the pulled-out lower thread on the slide plate④ is 50 mm.
Caution
▶ Turn off the power when adjusting the lower thread tension.
▶ If the operator mistakenly steps on the pedal, the machine will start automatically and can cause physical
injuries.
▶ When using the clutch motor, be aware that the motor will continue to rotate for a while after the power is
switched off due to inertia.

⑶ Adjusting the tension of thread take up lever spring
Adjusting the thread take up stroke
As in figure 27, loosen the stopper clamp screw ⑥, and turn the thread take up lever’s spring stopper ④ clockwise to
make the stroke smaller and counter clockwise to make it bigger.
※ The thread take up stroke is normally 10~14 mm.
Adjusting the thread take up tension
As in figure 28, loosen the screw ⑥ of the thread tension control assembly, and insert the driver into the groove of the
thread tension control assembly ⑦. Turn clockwise to make the spring ⑤ tension stronger and counter clockwise to
make it weaker. (See Figure 28)
Adjusting the timing of the thread take up spring tension
As in Figure 29, loosen the stopper screw ③, and turn clockwise the guide plate ⑧ for the thread take up spring to
make the timing of the spring ⑤ faster and counter clockwise to make it slower.
※ The timing of the thread take up spring tension is normal, when the guide plate is located in the middle as can be
seen in Figure 29.
Adjusting the auxiliary thread tension control assembly
(for automatic trimming type)
As in Figure 30, when the auxiliary thread tension
adjustment nut ⑨ is turned clockwise, the length of
the thread after trimming is short. The other way
makes the thread long.
※ The appropriate length of the upper thread on the
needle after trimming is 35~45 mm.
※ This can also be done by using the remaining
upper thread length adjustment volume of the
control box.

Turn the pulley so that the feed dog ① is positioned at its hight to adjust the feed dog ①. Loosen the fork clamp screw ④ of
the feed dog base as in Figure 44 and move the feed dog base up and down so that the feed dog protrudes about 1 mm from
the needle plate top. After adjustment, fasten the clamp screw firmly.
13) Adjusting the auxiliary presser foot and the upper feed presser foot
※ Both the auxiliary presser foot and the upper feed presser foot move up and down.
※ It is normal that both of them move up and down to the same height.
※ Take the following steps either to adjust the stroke of both to be the same or to make one of the two adjusted lower or
higher, depending on sewing materials.
⑴ Adjusting the strokes of both to be the same
The maximum height of the auxiliary presser foot ① and the upper feed② presser foot is up to 5.5 mm.
Loosen the nut ③.
Move the nut ③ up or down, depending on sewing materials. Move it up to make the stroke increased or down to
make it decreased.

16) Adjusting safety device
If the load occurs by foreign substances on thread, needle, etc, during the sewing operation, the driving ball of safety
assembly in Figure 49 is removed to prevent damage of the hook and other major parts from the lood, and the pulley ② and
the clutch plate ③ on the safety assembly are removed. Then, the driving force of timming belt on the upper shaft does not
delivered to the lower shaft, so only the pulley ② of safety assembly rotates idly. In case that the safety assembly starts
operating during the work, turn power switch off and remove causing factors of load. Later, with safety button ④ pressed,
turn the pulley to place the driving ball① of safety assembly to its original position.
※ Adjust the intensity of the safety assembly spring ⑥ by rotating safety assembly adjustment screws ⑦ from side to side
in accordance with working conditions. (Turning the screw to left makes the intensity stronger, and right to make it
weaker. Make sure to give same pressure on the three screws.)

① Make sure to turn the machine pulley to place the trimming cam ③ in the right position, so that the roller ① can
enter the complementary straight line② range after finishing trimming marked in the trimming cam lead.
② Press down the trimmer shake linkage ④ to make the roller ①come inside the trimming cam,
※ Adjust the holder ⑦ to make the right equal point of the roller ① adhere smoothly ⑧ to the inner right side of
the cam’s complementary straight line ②, and the left equal point of the stopper pin ⑥ adhere ⑧ smoothly to
the inner left side of the stopper pin holder ⑦. Once this is done, tightly fasten the fixing screw ⑨.
※ Once such adjustments are made, the trimmer shake linkage ④ will not move even when shaken to its sides
(the roller is inside the cam). Make sure to check if the shake linkage ④ returns to up position ⑩ quickly and
smoothly when released. If not, proceed with horizontal adjustment of stopper pin holder.

① When the whole trimmer shake linkage ① is in up position, that is, when it has come back to its original position
after finishing trimming, the distance ④ between the lower part of the roller ② and the equal point of the
trimming cam ③ is about 0.8~1mm. Assuming that this distance④ never changes, adjust the position of solenoid
bracket⑦ horizontally, where the solenoid housing⑥ is attached, to make the solenoid stroke⑤ 4 mm. Then,
tightly fasten with fixing screw⑧.
② After adjusting the solenoid stroke ⑤, manually operate the solenoid shaft ⑨ towards the arrow direction. See
whether it returns to its original position fast and smooth when released. If not, proceed with horizontal adjustment
of the bracket ⑦ minutely up and down and right and left.
⑵ Adjustment of linking device for movable knife shaft and the trimmer driving part
When the previously explained adjustment of trimmer driving part is complete, it is in its normal position where the
trimmer shake linkage① has returned to its up position after trimming action.
First, loosen the fixing screw ② of the movable knife shaft, hold the initial assembling angle of the crank ③ to be
about 15°30′to the left from the perpendicular line drawn to its center ④. To make sure that this position is
maintained, adjust the length of the ball joint linking bar ⑤, and tightly fasten the fixing screw ② of the crank. (※For
the adjustment of the ball joint linking bar ⑤, turn the linking bar ⑥ after loosening the nuts (left)⑥ and (right)⑦.
Nut (left) is left screw and nut (right) is right screw.)
When the linking device is connected as such, the movement angles of crank ③ during trimming movement results in
an equal angle movements for left ⑧ and right ⑨. Hence, it can be said that the trimming movement is very light.

⑶ Adjusting movable knife and fixed knife
Adjusting the position of movable knife-edge and hook stopper
① When a movable knife ① passes the front side of the hook stopper ②, adjust the distance ④ to be within 0.05~0.2
mm range like part ③. The upper surface of the movable knife-edge ⑥ should be set up 0.2mm below the upper
side of hook stopper ⑤. (※Given that the fixed knife is pressing down the movable knife.)
② Clearance adjustment of the movable knife edge and hook stopper front side
※ Loosen the needle plate
※ Place the hook stopper in the hanging position to the needle plate
※ Holding the hook with the hand, manually operate trimming movement so that the movable knife-edge is
matches the stopper front side ③.
※ Loosen the fixing screw ⑦ of the movable knife shaft eccentric bushing.
※ In the lower side hole ⑨ of the eccentric bushing ⑧, stick in a thin driver or adequate pin ⑩ and turn right and
left. This will make the position of the movable knife shaft ⑪ change, hence changing the distance ④.
※ When the clearance adjustment is finished, tightly fasten the fixing screw ⑦ of the bushing.
③ The adjustment of crossing height ⑫ between the hook stopper upper side ⑤ and movable knife edge upper side
⑥ is possible to certain degree by adjusting the movable knife base washer ⑦ or by changing the position of
movable knife shaft collar ⑧, as can be seen in Figure 55.

Adjusting movable and fixed knife
① As in Figure 55, adjust the position of the fixed
knife ③ so that the fixed knife right side edge ②
matches the movable knife inner side edge ①.
② The initial assembling position of the movable
knife ④ is where the movable knife-edge
protrudes about 3 mm from the edge of the fixed
blade. Make sure to check the “final fixing of the
movable knife initial position”on page 29.
③ The surface adhesion conditions ⑤ of fixed blade
edge and movable knife upper side have huge
impact on its trimming capacity. Please note the
various cases of movable/fixed knife surface
adhesion conditions on the picture.
(Correcting the adhesive conditions of movable
and fixed knives)
※ As in Figure 55, operate manual trimming
movement with color ink on the movable knifeedge. By checking the ink trace remaining on the
movable knife, the surface adhesion condition of
the movable/fixed knives can be tested.
※ If the surface adhesion is not very good (same method is used to adjust the tension of movable/fixed knives),
please use the following methods: adjusting the amount and position of the washer ⑦ in the lower side of the
movable knife base ⑥, horizontally adjusting the assembling position of movable knife shaft collar ⑧, and
correcting the shape of fixed blade ⑨ setting position.

※ The standard initial assembling position of the movable knife ① is where the movable knife-edge protrudes
about 3mm ③ from the fixed knife edge ② when the trimming action is finished, that is, when the movable
knife is in its initial stop position. When fixing the position of the movable knife, the following directions must
be followed so that the power generated in the cam ④ is delivered without any loss to the trimming action.
(Adjustment Order)
① Manually turn the pulley to finish trimming of the trimming cam ④. Place the cam so that the roller ⑧ can enter
the complementary straight line ⑤.
② Slightly loosen the fixing screws ⑥ of movable knife shaft crank.
③ Press the trimmer shake linkage ⑦ to enter the roller ⑧ inside the cam. Push slightly the ball joint linking bar ⑨
to the right so that there is no excess room in each linking device. When this is done, the roller ⑧ adheres to the
right side of the cam’s complementary straight line ⑤, as can be seen in the picture ⑩. While maintaining this
position, adjust the movable knives on the right and the left to protrude about 3mm from the fixed knife-edge ②.
Now, tightly fasten the crank fixing screws ⑥.
④
If the initial position of the movable knives of both sides are to be adjusted slightly, use the ball joint linking bar ⑨
.
D) Adjusting lower thread holder
※ The position of lower thread holder ① is set by
fixed knife ② and bolt ③.
As in the picture, loosen the bolt ③ and place the
lower thread holder ① edge at the lower side of
the movable knife, about 8mm apart from the
movable knife edge ⑤. Make sure to check that
the right and left upper sides and of the
lower thread holder is tightly adhered to the
lower side of the movable knife.

⑷ Checkpoints on the assembling status of other trimming devices
Check the starting point of the movable knife when the trimming action takes place
Operate trimming movement manually to check whether the thread take up lever is in the lowest or at least 2.5 mm
raised level when the movable knife starts working. (See Figure 58)
Maintenance of fixed knife
When the thread does not get trimmed or if the trimmed section of the thread is sloppy, please check the edge
condition of the fixed knife.
If the edge of the knife is too dull, sharpen the edge using oil stone or sand paper. (See Figure 59.)

18) Replacing movable knife and fixed knife
⑴ Lift the presser foot ① and open the slide plate ②.
⑵ Disassemble the needle plate ③.
⑶ Loosen the fixing screw ④, to disassemble the washer
⑤, fixed knife ⑥ and lower thread holder ⑦.
⑷ Loosen the fixing screw ⑧ and dissemble the movable
knife ⑨.
※ To assemble, follow the reverse order of disassembling.
19) Adjusting thread release (for automatic trimming type)
If the upper thread is pulled out of the needle hole after trimming, check whether the thread tension adjusting plate ①
separates during trimming. To adjust the opening of the thread tension adjusting plate, put the thread release solenoid ② at
operation and move back and forth the solenoid shaft collar ③ to make sure that the opening of the plate would be 0.8mm
wide. Also, make sure that the plate is completely attached when the solenoid is not working. (See Figure 61)
(Note)
※ If the plate does not open widely enough during trimming, but properly assembled, check weather the volume adjusting
the remaining upper thread on the control box is too low.
