SAFETY INSTRUCTINONS
3.1 Unpacking
Be sure to unpack the machine from the top.
If the machine is packed in a wooden crate, be
careful of the nails. Remove the nails from
the board.
Never hold the parts near the needle or
threading parts when removing the sewing
machine head from the buffer of the box.
Removing and carrying the sewing machine head
should always be carried out by two or more people.
Take out the machine very carefully while
checking the position of the center of gravity.
Preserve the cardboard box and packing material
carefully in case secondary transport is
needed in the future.
Disposal of the packaging
The packaging material of the machine consists
of wood, paper, cardboard and polystyrene foam.
The proper disposal of the packaging is the
responsibility of the customer, and must be
properly disposed of in accordance with the locally
valid environmental protection regulations.
WARNING
2.6 Items for which the power to the machine
has to be turned off
Be sure to immediately turn the power off if
any abnormality or failure is found or in the
case of power failure in order to protect
against accidents that can result in personal
injury or death.
To protect against accidents resulting from
abrupt starting of the machine, be sure to
carry out the following operations after
turning the power off.
● When threading to the parts such as the
needle, looper, spreader, etc., or when
changing the bobbin.
● When changing or adjusting all component
parts of the machine.
● Adjusting the stitch length
● Adjusting the differential feed ratio
● When inspecting, repairing or cleaning the
machine or leaving the machine.
○ Be sure to remove the power plug by holding
the plug section instead of the cord section
in order to prevent electrical shock, earth-
leakage or fire accidents.
○ If the machine is using a clutch motor, to
protect against accidents resulting from abrupt
starting of the machine, be sure to carry out
the above operations after verifying that the
machine has stopped completely, since the
motor continues turning for a while even after
turning off the power supply switch.
3 PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN VARIOUS
OPERATING STAGES
Disposal of the machine waste

3.2 Transportation
Be sure to take sufficient safety measures to
prevent falling or dropping when lifting or
moving the machine.
If the machine and/or your hands are stained
with oil, the machine may easily fall to the
floor. Therefore, wipe off the oil carefully.
To prevent accidents during transportation,
repackage in the same state as the original
delivery packaging.
Be particularly sure to fully wipe off
any oil adhering to the machine before
repackaging.
The machine head should be carried by two or
more people.
The machine should be carried by people
only when moving to the table or transfer

careful that the machine is not subjected to
excessive impact or vibrations. Otherwise the
sewing head could fall over.
