 2.3) Machine Installation

Depending on the installation environment, function errors, breakdown, or

other physical damage might result. Make sure to meet the following
conditions for machine installation:
1) The workbench or table where the machine is installed should be durable enough to
endure the weight of the machine (see the name plate).
2) Dust and humidity are the cause of machine pollution and erosion. Please install an air
conditioner and conduct regular maintenance of the machine.
3) Install the machine at the place where it is not exposed to direct sunlight (if the machine is
Caution exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, it may cause discoloration or deformation).
4) Secure the space around the machine. Place the machine at least 50cm away from the
left, right, and rear walls to secure sufficient space for maintenance activities.
5) Explosion risk : To prevent possible explosion, immediately stop the machine
operation if there are inflammable materials in the air.
6) Lighting : The machine does not offer lighting devices. When necessary, install needed
lighting.
7) Overturn risk : Do not install the machine on the unstable stand or table. If the machine
drops, it may cause injury or severe impact on the machine. If the machine is suddenly
stopped or the external impact is imposed, the machine might be capsized.

2.4) Machine Operation

is proper.
4) Keep hands and head away from the machine parts where accidents might occur
(needle, hook, thread take-up lever, pulley, etc.) during operation.
5) Do not remove the safety cover which protects pulley and shaft during machine
operation for user’s safety.
6) Cut the power supply before disassembling the electric box such as the control box,
and double-check that the power switch is“Off.”
7) Make sure that the power switch is“Off”when the upper shaft is manually rotated.
8) Stop the machine when the needle is replaced or when inspecting the machine after
sewing work is done.
9) Make sure to follow the cautions below. Otherwise, physical damage to the machine
such as malfunction and breakdown might result:
－ Do not put articles on the S/M table.
－ Avoid using a crooked needle or the needle with damaged tip.
－ Use the presser foot appropriate to working conditions.
