2. Grounding instructions
This product must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current, to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER! Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green, with or
without yellow stripes, is the equipment-grounding conductor. Do not connect the
equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal if the cord needs to be repaired or replaced.
Check with a qualified electrician if grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if
in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with
the product, if it will not fit the outlet; have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
120V machine models
This product is for use on a nominal 120 V circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the
plug illustrated in sketch A in Fig 1. A temporary adaptor, which looks like the adaptor
illustrated in sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown
in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should be used
only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green
colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adaptor must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is used,
it must be held in place by a metal screw.
200V and higher machine models
This product is for use on a circuit having a nominal rating more than 120V and is
factory-equipped with a specific electric cord and plug. No adapter should be used with this
product. If the product must be reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit, the
reconnection should be made by qualified service personnel; and after the reconnection, the
product should comply with all local codes and ordinances.
NOTE: If there is doubt as to whether an outlet box is properly grounded, consult a qualified
electrician.

optional devices.
-Memory card reader -Barcode scanner
3. Standardized Networking Function
Barudan Embroidery machines can be connected to a Network server (computer) by LAN
connection and able to send / receive embroidery design data.
Moreover, by using the optional Network software, LEM Server, machine production records
and status can be viewed and reported from the server computer.
4. Large Memory Capacity
The memory capacity is 10 million stitches, with 100 memory locations.
5. Shortcut function
Commonly used functions can be set as shortcuts. Using shortcuts cuts down on the number of
key stokes for selected operations.
6. High Speed Drive
The microcomputer automatically chooses the most efficient speed, in 10 rpm increments
*Max. Speed may vary for each model.
7. Quiet Drive
Inverter driven main motor allows powerful and quiet drive.
It also allows accurate speed control and stop positioning.
AC Servo Motor or 5 Phase Pulse Motor drives the pantograph quietly at high speed.
8. Automatic speed and Jump stitch control
The controller varies the speed of the machine automatically depending on stitch length for
better stitch quality. The controller can also automatically convert long stitches to Jump
stitches as set by a stitch length parameter for higher quality stitching.

２‐４
9. Design Information
Design information such as total stitches, quantity produced, size, and thumbnail of the design
can be seen on the screen.
10.Stitch Length Adjuster
Swing parameter allows satin stitches to be automatically sewn slightly wider or narrower
depending on the setting. This feature is helpful sewing small lettering when they need to be
sewn with a bolder effect.
11.Automatic Appliqué Positioning
This feature moves the pantograph out to a programmed position, when the machine stops for
an appliqué to be applied. This allows the operator to easily apply the appliqués to the
garments. This can also be used for replacing frames at the end of sewing.
12.Multi-Point
This function allows you to register points where you would like the pantograph to move to.
A maximum of 15 points can be registered, as P01 to P15.
The pantograph can then be moved to one of these points using a Manual key operation or
programmed in F-list.
13.Socks
Automatic design conversion for socks.
14.Matrix Embroidery
Automatic layout for the Matrix embroidery.
Easy setting can create a repetition of designs.
15.The registration of the start position
The controller automatically saves the last start position of designs in memory. When you go to
sew a design a second time, you can start from the last start position.
16.Trace
The controller can show the area to be sewn on the screen and by using a four-point trace or
outline trace.
17.Displaying Embroidery points
You can enlarge the display of an embroidering point by touching a key while sewing, without
interrupting the embroidering operation.
This function allows you to easily confirm embroidery details in a pattern.

２‐５
18.Stand-By (Resume)
The machine can be turned OFF in the middle of a design. When powered back On, the
machine resumes in the same position where the embroidery was stopped, even if the
pantograph was moved when the machine was powered off.
19.Help function
The machine can display help files saved on a USB Flash Drive.
You can create and save help files per the specified format.
20.Schedule function
The machine can display messages scheduled by a calendar format.
When you register a message, it is displayed on the Automat screen at start-up on the day, or
days scheduled.
