A - INTRODUCTION
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
S-105 sewing machine is intended for sewing buttonholes on outwear. It has been designed and
manufactured to be reliable and easy to operate. Special attention is paid to ensure ease and effective
safety for machine operators and servicemen.
Safety mechanisms protect both, operators and the machine, and respect valid safety and hygiene provisions
for usual technological usage of the machine. Those safety mechanisms contain electrical plug, operation
switch (circuit breaker) and covers ensuring safety operation on the machines; only if they are fitted onto
the machine correctly.
There are information labels on the machine to point out additional danger. Do not remove or damage
those labels. In case of damage, order a new one. Mentioned warnings cannot cover all safety aspects and
therefore it is very important for an operator to read this manual carefully and understand it well before he
starts operating the machine. It will also eliminate errors during machine installation and its operation. Do
not put the machine into operation unless you have read entire manuals supplied with the machine and
have understood each function and procedure.
There are four categories of safety instructions in this manual:
DANGER! Ignoring instructions may endanger operator’s life.
CAUTION! Ignoring instructions may cause a serious injury of the operator or damage the machine.
WARNING! Ignoring instructions may cause damage on the machine or injury of the operator.
NOTICE! Breaking procedures may cause functional problems of the machine.
We recommend that servicemen from AMF Reece supervise the installation of the machines and initial
training of your mechanics and operators.
The most effective method ensuring safety of operators working on the machine is a strict safety program
including instructions for safety operation. Operators and servicemen should wear safety glasses.
