11111
Selection of the soft-start function (Function setting No. 1)
The needle thread may fail to interlace with the bobbin thread at the start of sewing when the stitching pitch
(stitch length) is small or a thick needle is used. To solve such problem, this function (called “soft-start”) is used
to limit the sewing speed, thereby assuring successful formation of the starting stitches.
0 :
The function is not selected.
1 to 9 : The number of stitches to be sewn under the soft-start mode.
The sewing speed limited by the soft-start function can be changed. (Function setting No. 37)
Data setting range
150 to 5,500 rpm <50 rpm>

Material end sensor (ED : optional) function (Function setting No. 2 to 4)
This function is possible when the material end sensor (ED) is attached.
As for the details, refer to the instruction manual for the material end sensor.
(Caution) Setting will be invalid when the material end sensor is not attached, or CP-160 or higher class
model is connected.

Flicker reducing function (Function setting No. 5)
The function reduces flickering of the hand lamp at the start of sewing. The higher the set value increases, the
more effective the function will work.
Setting range
0 to 8
0 : Flicker reducing function does not work.
to
8 : Flickering is effectively reduced.
(Caution) The more effective the flicker reducing function works (the more the set value is made), the
lower the start-up speed of the sewing machine will become.

When the control panel (CP-160 or higher class model) is used, the function subtracts from the predetermined
value and indicates the used amount of bobbin thread.
For the details, refer to the instruction manual for the control panel.
(Caution) If “0” is set, the LCD indication on the control panel will go out and the bobbin thread counting
function will be invalid.

Thread trimming prohibiting function (Function setting No. 9)
This function turns OFF thread trimming solenoid output and wiper solenoid output when thread trimming is
actuated. [If the control panel (CP-160 or higher class model) is used with the sewing machine, this function will
work in accordance with the function setting on the control panel.]
By this function, separate sewing material can be spliced and sewn without trimming thread.
0 : off Thread trimming is operative. (thread can be trimmed).
1 : on Thread trimming is inoperative. (thread can not be trimmed).

The position of the needle bar when the pedal is in its neutral position is specified.
0 : Down The needle bar stops in the lowest position of its stroke.
1 : Up The needle bar stops in the highest position of its stroke.
(Caution) If the stop position of the needle bar is set to the highest position, the thread trimming action
will be taken after the needle bar comes down once to the lowest position.
