SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS

When installing the machine, make sure to place it on the attached vibration-preventive rubbers (H). Falling the machine may cause injury as well as breakdown of the machine.

Do not damage, modify, heat or apply undue force to the power cords and other connection cables. Otherwise the cables may be damaged causing fire and electric shock.

Insert the power cord plug fully. Incomplete insertion could cause fire or electric shock.

Keep away electric and electronic units from water and oils. Exposure them to water or oils leads to short circuits, causing fire and electric shock. If water or oils enter the electric/electronic units, shut off the power by the power switch, shut off the source of power supply and contact your TOYOTA dealer.

When disconnecting the power cord from the receptacle, pull the cord while holding the plug. Pulling the power cord by holding the cord may damage the cord and the plug, causing fire and electric shock.

The machine must be switched off at the mains switch on the power supply or by unplugging it from the incoming mains supply, when:

• Sewing implements (thread, needle, bobbin, etc) have to be replaced or adjusted

• Threading a needle, bobbin, etc

• If the workplace is left unattended

• Maintenance work has to be performed

INSTALLATION

Place the embroidery machine on a rugged base so that the table will be level.

At this time, make sure to place attached vibration-preventive rubbers (H) under the adjuster foot (1). The rubbers will effectively prevent the machine from moving on the table or vibrating.

If the machine is not stable or it is not level, adjust the level of the machine after loosening the nut (2) (4 places) of the adjuster foot (1). After adjusting the machine level, tighten the nut (2) to lock the adjuster foot.

WARNING

CARRYING

Carry the machine with at least two people. DO NOT hold it by parts other than those specified. Dropping may cause bodily injury and will damage the machine.

ATTENTION

Il faut être au moins 2personnes pour porter la machine. Ne pas tenir la machine par une autre partie que celle indiquées. Une chute peut vous blesser et endommager la machine.

SETTING THE UNDER THREAD

1. Orient the bobbin (1) with its thread facing in the direction, specified by the arrow symbol, and put it in the bobbin case (2).

2. Route the thread through the thread groove (3) in the bobbin case, under the thread tension spring (4) and the thread guard (5).

3. Raise the "lever" (6) on the bobbin case and then install it in the rotary hook.

NOTE: The standard under thread tension is 25 to 30 g (0.25 to 0.3 N) for the carbonized yarn #120.

The thread tension can be adjusted with the tension adjusting screw of the bobbin case. Turning the screw clockwise tightens the thread and turning it counterclockwise loosens the thread tension.

For adjustment, suspend three 25-cent coins from the bobbin case by taping them to the thread as shown in

PREPARATION

the illustration below. If thread is pulled out slightly when the bobbin case is gently shaken up and down, the thread tension is between 25 and 30 g (0.25 and 0.3 N).
