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) Pulley cover
Never remove.
The machine pulley and V belt are covered with the pulley cover.
The machine pulley and the V belt rotate at high speed during
sewing. To prevent accidents, operate the machine with the pulley
cover installed in place.
(4) Pulley
Check the direction in which the machine pulley rotates.
It should rotate clockwise as seen from the pulley.
(5) 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.
(6)Front cover
Never leave the front cover open.
The looper travels left to right while drawing an arc as seen from the
front of the machine. To prevent the looper from contacting any
part of your body, be sure to operate the machine with the front
cover closed securely.
(7) Side cover
Never leave the side cover open.
The looper travels left to right while drawing an arc as seen from the
front of the machine. To prevent the looper from contacting any of
your body, be sure to operate the machine with the side cover
closed securely.
(8) Sliding plate
Never leave the sliding plate open.
The looper thread take-up rotates in order to supply the required
amount of looper thread during sewing. To prevent the looper
thread take-up from contacting any of your body, be sure to operate
the machine with the sliding plate closed securely.
