MEB-3200
Precautions to protect against accidents
resulting in personal injury or death
The gas spring which is a safety device to help reduce the sewing machine weight can lose its function by inappropriate
maintenance work, etc.
In the case the gas spring does not function properly, the raised machine can drop by carrying out threading of the machine with
looper thread, or adding of oil to the oil tank, inviting a risk of accidents resulting in personal injury or death.
To protect against such accidents, be sure to read this "Precautions to protect against accidents resulting in personal injury or
death" carefully. In addition, be sure to stop using the sewing machine if the gas spring does not function properly and replace
the gas spring with a new one immediately.

DANGER: Never carry out operations described below. If you do any of the following operations, human
body including hands, fingers or arms can be caught in the machine, resulting in serious injuries such
as finger severing in the worst case.
Never lift up the sewing machine alone if it is
too heavy for you.
Do not support the sewing machine by hand
without having locked the hinge stopper.
In this state, the gas spring has outgassed
resulting in functional decline. Replace the gas
spring with a new one immediately.
Be sure to lift up the sewing machine until the
hinge stopper is locked at the threading
position to secure the sewing machine .
Never raise/lower the sewing machine by two or
more workers.
Never hold the side face of the bed when
raising/lowering the sewing machine.
If raising/lowering the sewing machine by two or
more workers, the risk that the workers' bodies
such as a hand, finger or arm are caught in the
machine will increase. If the sewing machine is too
heavy for one worker to carry out the work alone,
the gas spring should be replaced with a new one
to restore the gas spring to the normal state.
