PRECAUTIONS BEFORE STARTING OPERATION
1. Safety precautions
1) When turning the power on, keep your hands and fingers away from the area around/under the
needle and the area around the pulley.
2) Power must be turned off when the machine is not used, or when the operator leaves his/her seat.
3) The power must be turned off before tilting the machine head, installing or removing the “V” belt,
adjusting the machine, or when replacing.
4) Avoid placing fingers, hairs, bars etc. near the pulley, “V” belt, bobbin winder pulley, or motor
when the machine is operation. Injury could result.
5) Do not insert fingers into the thread take-up cover, under/round the needle, or pulley when the
machine is in operation.
6) If a belt cover, finger guard, and/or eye guard are installed, do not operate the machine without
these safety devices.
2. Precaution before Starting Operation
1) If the machine’s oil pan has an oil sump, never operate the machine before filling it.
2) If the machine is lubricated by a drop oiler, never operate the machine before lubricating.
3) When a new sewing machine is first turned on, verify the rotational direction of the pulley with
the power on. (the pulley should rotate counterclockwise when viewed from the pulley.)
4)
Verify the voltage and (single or three) phase with those given on the motor nameplate.
3. Precaution for Operating Conditions
1) Avoid using the machine at abnormally high temperature (35
℃
or higher) or low temperature
(5
℃
or lower). Otherwise, machine failure may result.
2) Avoid using the machine in dusty conditions.
3) Avoid using the machine in areas where too much electrical noise, resulted from the
high-frequency welder and others, is generated.
