humidity that seriously affects sewing machines.
Outdoors, places of high temperature or in
direct sunlight.
Environments containing dust, corrosive or
flammable gases, or in contact with chemicals.
Where the voltage fluctuation range is more
than ± 10% of the rated voltage.
Location where sufficient power is not available
for the power supply capacity of the controllers
and motors that is used.
Near objects where strong electric or magnetic
