PRECAUTIONS

DANGER

Do not open the power supply box. Otherwise, you may sustain electric shock.

WARNING

Carry the machine by two or more persons. Falling the machine may cause injury as well as breakdown of the machine.

When carrying the machine, hold the machine at the positions specified by the label. Falling the machine may cause injury as well as breakdown of the machine.

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

PREPARATION

ASSEMBLING

● Attaching the thread guide

1. Stand the thread stand shafts (1) (2 pcs. in total) on the thread stand plate (2) perpendicular to it by screwing in the shaft at positions A and B on the plate (2). Securely tighten the thread stand shafts (1) by the spanner set on the flats at the middle of the thread stand shaft (1) to fix them on the thread stand plate (2).

2. Place the thread guide (4) on top ends of two thread stand shafts (1), and align the two holes at the center of the thread guide (4) with the thread stand shafts (1). Insert then hexagon socket head cap screws (5) in the holes and securely tighten the screws to lock the guide and the shafts.

● Mounting the spiral tubes

1. Place the joint on the one end of spiral tube (large) in the U-shaped slot on the thread guide and fix it in the slot by pressing in the arrow direction. Set and fix the joint on the other end of spiral tube in the U-shaped slot on the tension base in the same way. Repeat the same steps on the U-shaped slots as numbered (1) to (3) and (13) to (15) in the figure shown at right.

Spiral tube (large): No. 1 to No. 3/

No. 13 to No. 15

2. In the similar manner, fit the spiral tube B (medium) into the U-shaped slots.

PREPARATION

CARRYING

As shown in the illustration below, hold the machine at the positions indicated in the label by two or more persons to carry the machine.

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.

Machine holding position (indicated in the label)

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 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).

CAUTION

Before setting or removing the bobbin, be sure to turn OFF the power switch. Otherwise, the embroidery machine may start causing injury of operators.

PREPARATION

SETTING THE FABRIC ON THE HOOP

1. Place the fabric (2) on the outer hoop (1) and press the inner hoop (3) into the outer hoop (1).

If the inner hoop (3) cannot be pressed into the outer hoop (1) smoothly, loosen the hoop set screw (4).

2. Check if the fabric is correctly set in the hoop by pressing the center of the fabric gently with the finger as shown in the illustration below. The fabric should be stretched so that it returns to the state as before when the finger is released.

CAUTION

Make sure there is no hard item such as a button in the embroidery range. Otherwise, the needle may be broken causing injury of operators.

WINDING THE UNDER THREAD

1. Set a bobbin (2) on the under thread winding shaft (1).

2. Place the spool (3) on the spool stand on the cover, pass the thread end through the thread tension regulator guide (4) and wind the thread round the bobbin (2).

3. Press the thread winder lever (5) to the right so that it touches the inner face of the bobbin (2).

4. Thread is wound on the bobbin as the machine operates and the lever automatically returns back (turning to the left) when a certain amount of thread is wound on the bobbin to stop winding of the under thread.

Under thread may be used up during embroidery. In this case, set the under thread in the same manner as explained above.
