CAUTION :
To avoid malfunction and damage of the machine, confirm the following.
CAUTION BEFORE OPERATION
• Clean the sewing machine thoroughly before using it for the first time.
• Remove all dust collected on the sewing machine during the transportation.
• Confirm that the voltage and phase are correct.
• Confirm that the power plug is properly connected.
• Never use the sewing machine in the state where the voltage type is different from the designated one.
• The direction of rotation of the sewing machine is counterclockwise as observed from the handwheel
side. Be careful not to rotate it in reverse direction.
• Do not tilt the machine head toward this side since oil leakage or parts breakage occurs.
• A safety switch is installed so that the sewing machine cannot be operated with the machine head
tilted.
• When operating the sewing machine, turn ON the power switch after properly setting the head on the
table.
• Before starting a test run, remove the bobbin case and the needle thread from the machine.
• Operate the handwheel after the sewing machine has totally stopped.
11. For the purpose of protecting the operation panel, do not wipe it with a cloth dampened
with thinner or the like which contains volatile constituent, wet cloth or hard cloth.
12. Never lower the needle bar when the picker is brought close to the bobbin. The picker may
be damaged by the needle, causing a stitching failure.
13. When the sewing machine is used for the first time after
delivery or after an extended time of disuse, remove rub-
ber plug from the frame cover and apply a few drops of oil
to the needle bar. If the sewing machine is used with no oil
added to the needle bar, the needle bar may be seized due
to abrasion of the needle bar or intrusion of dust.
