3. INSTALLATION
DANGER :
1. The sewing machine should be installed by a trained technician.
2. Contact the distributor or a professional electrician to ask him/her to carry out electric wiring.
3. The sewing machine has a mass of approximately 110 kg. Four or more workers are required
to carry out the installation of the sewing machine and adjustment of the table height.
4. Never connect the power plug until the installation of the sewing machine is completed in order
to protect against an accident due to an abrupt startup of the sewing machine.
5. Be sure to ground the earthing wire in order to protect against an accident due to electrical
leakage.
6. Be sure to raise/return the sewing machine from/to its home position by holding it with both
hands.
7. Do not apply an unreasonable force to the sewing machine when it is in the raised position. If
such a force is applied, the sewing machine can lose its balance to fall alone or fall together
with the table, resulting in personal injury or sewing-machine breakage.
3-1. Table
• Use the table and stand which are able to withstand the sewing machine mass (110 kg) and vibration. The
table thickness of which is 40 - 60 mm should be used.
• Use the table stand which has an appropriate height for the sake of the operator's ease of use.
• The xing bolt for xing the table and the stand should be of the length which matches the thickness of the
table.
• The table differs between the table-xed type and the semi-sunken type machine heads. Appropriately
machine the table referring to the table drawing corresponding to the type of the machine head.
(1) Drawing of the stand
500
（630～965）
（715）
1. In the case the table thickness exceeds 60 mm, the length of the bolts supplied with the unit as
accessories is adequate.
2. In the case the xing bolt for xing the table and the stand is too long for the table thickness,
unexpected injury to hands or head can occur.
