CAUTIONS FOR SAFETY
i
i
For the sewing machine, automatic machine and ancillary devices (hereinafter collectively referred to as
"machine"), it is inevitable to conduct sewing work near moving parts of the machine. This means that there
is always a possibility of unintentionally coming in contact with the moving parts. Operators who actually
operate the machine and maintenance personnel who are involved in maintenance and repair of the machine
are strongly recommended to carefully read to fully understand the following SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
before using/maintaining the machine. The content of the SAFETY PRECAUTIONS includes items which
are not contained in the specications of your product.
The risk indications are classied into the following three dierent categories to help understand the meaning
of the labels. Be sure to fully understand the following description and strictly observe the instructions.
Warning label
❶
❷
❸
❶• There is the possibility that slight to serious injury or death may be caused.
• There is the possibility that injury may be caused by touching moving part.
❷• To perform sewing work with safety guard.
• To perform sewing work with safety cover.
• To perform sewing work with safety protection device.
❸• Be sure to turn the power OFF before carrying out "machine-head threading",
"needle changing", "bobbin changing" or "cleaning".

CAUTION :
Toavoidmalfunctionanddamageofthemachine,conrmthefollowing.
CAUTION BEFORE OPERATION
• Cleanthesewingmachinethoroughlybeforeusingitforthersttime.
• Remove all dust collected on the sewing machine during the transportation.
• Conrmthatthevoltageandphasearecorrect.
• Conrmthatthepowerplugisproperlyconnected.
• Neverusethesewingmachineinthestatewherethevoltagetypeisdierentfromthedesignatedone.
• The direction of rotation of the sewing machine is counterclockwise as observed from the handwheel side.
Be careful not to rotate it in reverse direction.
• Do not tilt the machine head toward this side since oil leakage or parts breakage occurs.
• A safety switch is installed so that the sewing machine cannot be operated with the machine head tilted.
• Whenoperatingthesewingmachine,turnONthepowerswitchafterproperlysettingtheheadonthetable.
• Beforestartingatestrun,removethebobbincaseandtheneedlethreadfromthemachine.
