Installation of the Machine
1) Installation environment
A. To prevent any accident caused by malfunction, do not use the machine where the voltage is over the rated voltage ±
10%.
B. To prevent accidents resulting from malfunction, check out the pre-defined pressure of the devices which use air pressure
such as air cylinder.
C. For safe operation of the machine, use it under the following conditions.
→Ambient temperature during operation: 5 ~ 40℃
→Ambient temperature during storage: - 10 ~ 60℃
D. Humidity: 20~80 % (relative humidity)
2) Electrical environment
A. Power supply voltage
The power supply voltage shall be at the range of the rated voltage ±10%.
As for power supply frequency, it would be better to use the rated frequency (50/60 Hz) ±1%.
B. Electromagnetic wave noises
Use separate power supply from strong magnetic and high-frequency electric goods. It will be better to put them away
from each other.
C. When attaching peripherals and accessories to Control Box, make sure of using low voltage, which is safe.
D. Do not spill water or coffee into Control Box and motor.
E. Do not drop Control box and motor.
Caution
• Only trained technicians shall install the sewing
machine.
• You can inquire our exclusive distributors or
electric technicians as for questions regarding
electric wiring.
• The sewing machine weighs more than 85kg. At
least two people are required for installation.
• Until the installation is complete, do not connect
the machine’s plug to the electric outlet. If the
foot pedal is accidentally stepped, it could start
the operation, causing injuries.
• The grounding system must be connected. If the
connection is incomplete, it could cause electrical
shock or malfunction.
• Put motor covers on the sewing machine head
part and the motor.
