Protectors for safety
(1) Eye guard
Never leave the eye guard open.
For the safety of eyes, do not operate the machine with the eye
guard open. The eye guard will prevent any pieces of the broken
needle from getting into your eyes if the needle should break during
sewing.
(2) Finger guard
Never insert any of your fingers.
To prevent the needle that moves up and down from contacting any
of your body, the finger guard is installed close to the needle.
However, there is clearance above the finger guard for easy
threading. Be careful that the needle may penetrate any of your
fingers if you insert it into this clearance.
(3) Belt cover
Never remove.
The machine pulley and the V belt are covered with the belt cover.
To prevent accidents, never remove the belt cover during sewing
because the machine pulley and the V belt run very fast.
(4) Pulley
Check to make sure the machine pulley rotates counterclockwise as
seen from the pulley (operating direction).
(5) Motor cover
Never leave the motor cover open.
The motor is covered with the motor cover. To prevent accidents,
never remove the motor cover during sewing because the motor
pulley rotates very fast.
(6) Presser foot
Never insert any of your fingers.
There is a clearance of more than 5mm between the top
surface of the needle plate and the presser foot.
Be careful that none of your fingers are caught in this clearance.
Never insert any of your fingers under the presser foot when raising
the presser foot with the knee switch or automatically raising it with
the treadle.
(7) Needle bar cap
Never remove.
The needle bar cap is installed on the top surface of the machine
arm. To prevent accidents, never remove the needle bar cap dur-
ing sewing because the needle bar moves up and down very fast.
(8) Thread take-up cover
Never insert any of your fingers.
The thread take-up moves up and down in order to supply the
required amount of needle thread during sewing. To prevent acci-
dents, the thread take-up is covered with the thread take-up cover.
However, this thread take-up cover has a clearance through which
the thread can easily go in order to thread the thread guide on the
thread take-up. Any of your fingers may be caught in the thread
take-up when you put it into this clearance. Be careful.
