2. CARRIAGE SHOULD ALWAYS BE AT LEFT SIDE WHEN USING “WTE” OR “ORI” KEYS.
3. TAKE-DOWN MOTOR SHOULD ALWAYS BE AT REST POSITION WHEN THE MACHINE IS STOPPED .
THIS IS TO PREVENT THE TAKE-DOWN ROLLER FROM CONSTANT ROTATING.TO RESTART THE
MACHINE, TURN THE SWITCH BAR TO STOP POSITION FIRST TO INITIATE THE TAKE-DOWN MOTOR
BEFORE TURNING TO “RUN” POSITION.

POSITION IN ORDER TO INITIATE THE TAKE-DOWN MOTOR FOR SUFFICIENT TAKE-DOWN FORCE
TO ENTER EITHER “JOG” OR “RUN”CONDITION. THIS IS TO PREVENT INSUFFICIENT
TAKE-DOWN FORCE FROM CAUSING UPRAISING OF THE FABRIC WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE DAMAGING
OF NEEDLES.
