28. MOTOR PULLEY AND SEWING SPEED(DSC-246,DSC-246V)
1 . Use the 3-phase 400 W AC clutch motor.
2 . Use an M type V belt.
3 . The following table shows the relationship among the motor pulley and the sewing speed.
Model Sewing speed Effective
diameter of
handwheel
Number
of poles
Frequency Rotational
speed of
motor
Effective diameter of
motor pulley
DSC-246
DSC-246V 2,200 sti/min φ76.0 4 50Hz 1430 rpm φ115
60Hz 1715 rpm φ95
(Caution) The effective diameter of the motor pulley is obtained by subtracting 5 mm from the outside diameter.

1. For the safety, never operate the sewing machine with the ground wire for the
power supply removed.
2. Be sure to turn OFF the power switch in prior when connecting/disconnecting the
power plug.
3. When thunders occurs, stop the work for the safety and disconnect the power plug.
4. When the sewing machine is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm place,
there is a case where dew condensation may occur. Turn ON the power after there
is no worry of the drop of water.
5. To prevent fires, periodically draw out the power plug from the plug socket and
clean the root of the pins and the space between pins.
6. The hook rotates at a high speed while the machine is in operation.
To prevent possible injury to hands, be sure to keep your hands away from the
vicinity of the hook during operation. In addition, be sure to turn OFF the power to
the machine when replacing the bobbin.
7. To avoid possible accidents due to abrupt start of the machine, be sure to turn OFF
the power to the machine.
8. Be careful of handling this product so as not to pour water or oil, shock by dropping,
and the like since this product is a precision instrument.
9. When tilting or returning the sewing machine to the home position, hold the upper
side of the machine head with both hands and perform the work quietly so that
fingers or the like are not caught in the machine.
1. To avoid personal injury, never put your fingers under the needle when you turn ON
the power switch or operate the sewing machine.
2. To avoid personal injury, never put your fingers into the thread take-up cover while
the sewing machine is in operation.
3. Turn OFF the power switch when tilting the machine head, or removing the belt
cover or the V belts.
4. To prevent possible personal injury caused by being caught in the machine, keep
your fingers, head and clothes away from the handwheel and the thread take-up
while the sewing machine is in operation. In addition, place nothing around it.
5. To avoid personal injury, never operate the sewing machine with the finger guard

Remove all dust gathering during transportation and oil it well.
• Confirm that voltage has been correctly set.
Confirm that the power plug has been properly connected to the power supply.
• Never use the machine in the state where the voltage type is different from the designated one.
• The direction of normal rotation of the machine is counterclockwise as observed from the pulley side.
Take care not to allow the machine to rotate in the reverse direction.
• Never operate the machine unless the machine head and the oil tank have been filled with oil.
• For a test run, remove the bobbin and the needle thread.
•
For the first month, decrease the sewing speed and run the sewing machine at a speed of 2,000 sti/min or less.
• When carrying the machine, do not hold it by the synchronizer located at the rear of the handwheel.
• Operate the handwheel after the machine has totally stopped.
• Observe the standard thread trimming speed, 185 sti/min.
