Symbolandnameofswitch Function
1.Automaticsewingmode
The sewing machine and the button feeder operate with interlocked. Under this operation
mode, depressing the foot pedal lowers the button clamp and makes the sewing machine
start sewing a button. When the machine completes sewing of the button, the thread trimmer
actuates, then the button feeder actuates to feed next button to be sewn. This series of
operations is repeated under the automatic sewing mode.
❺Modeselectorswitch
2.Independentsewingmode
This mode allows the sewing machine to independently operate. Under this mode, the
operator sets the button to be sewn in the button clamp on the machine by hand. Then,
depressing the foot pedal lowers the button clamp and makes the machine start sewing the
button. When the machine completes sewing of the button, the thread trimmer actuates then
the button clamp goes up.
3.Small-lotsewingmode
Basically, series of operations performed under this mode is the same as that under the
automatic sewing mode. The parts feeder, however, does not operate under this mode. The
operator manually feeds buttons by the number desired to be sewn to the gear of index unit
and let the machine perform button sewing.
4.Prospectivebuttonfeedingmode
Under this mode, the ne positioning completion sensor function is stopped and the machine
performs ne positioning of a button in a predetermined period of time (set by DEG-SW-2.).
a = Suited to buttons of which is 1 mm or more.
5.Buttondischargingmode
Under this mode, buttons in the index unit are automatically discharged by pressing manual
opration switch ❸. In this case, the button is discharged to the discharging chute located
at the lower section of the button positioner. So, place a pan or the like to receive the
discharged buttons at the exit area. At this time, do not place your ngers around the button
clamp unit until the operation completes since the button carrier actuates.

Stitching timing (Note 6)
• The length of time during which the button
carrier operates and the button clamp jaw
levers are in their highest position waiting
for a button.
0 → 0.05 SEC 8 → 0.05
1 → 0.10 9 → 0.10
2 → 0.15 : Standard A → 0.15
3 → 0.20 B → 0.20
4 → 0.25 C → 0.25
5 → 0.30 D → 0.30
6 → 0.35 E → 0.35
7 → 0.40 F → 0.40
(The length of time during which the index
operates is xed at the following values.)
0 to 7 → 0.08 SEC
8 to F → 0.16
The longer the aforementioned length of time
is specied, the better the overall timing of the
sewing machine will become.
Releasing the pedal while the sewing machine
is in operation will retard the time at which the
button carrier actuates by one second.

2. Position of the button clamp jaw lever
WARNING :
When the adjustment of the position is performed, make sure of the needle entry point. If the needle
extends outside the button hole or the sewing pattern extends outside the button clamp unit, the needle
interferes with the button hole or the button clamp unit during sewing, resulting in the danger of needle
breakage or the like.
Do not depress the pedal to the second step, during the adjustment, in a state that the sewing LED lights
up. The button carrier will actuate by so depressing the pedal. So, be careful.
