Sewing Head Controls
When using the machine, you may need control over whether thread breaks are detected and
which heads will sew.
Thread Break Detection
Thread Break
Switch
The Thread Break Switch enables both the top and bobbin thread
detection. It is located on the front of the sewing head. The thread
break switch is on when the switch is in the up position and off in
the down position. (For Z
head
machines, this switch also cancels
the sewing head.)
Rotary Wheels
The thread is wrapped around the rotary wheel. As the machine
sews the wheel spins. When the wheel stops spinning it is and
indication of a thread break, causing the LED on the sewing head to
flash red, indicating a thread break. The sewing head will stop and
the pantograph will automatically move back a few stitches. If you
need to back up farther in the pattern, see Repairing Missed
Stitches.
Disengaging a Sewing Head
A head can be shut off when it is not needed. For Z
head
machines, while the machine is
stopped, turn off the thread break switch by placing it in the down position; to restart the head
place the thread break switch in the up position.
For Y
head
machines see the instructions on the next page.
