1. Safety Precautions
1-1. Warning
When operating the machine, the following items must be observed strictly to prevent accidents resulting in
injury or death.
This machine is designed for industrial use. Use this machine for semi- or finished textile products
and similar materials. Using the machine for other purposes must be avoided.
Do not stand on the machine.
Using the bar switch as a grip to support yourself is strictly prohibited.
Do not use a device such as a cellular phone that generates microwave near the control circuits of
the power supply box, the operation panel box, etc. Microwave may cause malfunctioning of the
machine.
Do not remove the covers for the shaft and the pulleys. Also, do not run the machine without the
covers.
Do not have your hands, etc. access to the vicinity of needle during
operation. Sticking of needle could injure you.
During operation, do not access your hands and/or face to
moving sections. Especially, it is dangerous around needle,
rotary hook, take-up lever, pulley and speed-reduction box.
This machine uses strong magnet. The person, who is
mounted with internal implantable medical electronics like a pacemaker, should not use this
machine. The person who is mounted with a equipment described above also should not access to
magnet inside of this machine. This internal equipment could malfunction.
Please read this book thoroughly and understand the contents
of operation certainly. Then, operate the machine.
Wear proper clothes and tidy up yourself so that you can
smoothly perform the operation.
A single operator should operate the machine in principle. If
plural operators are working together, make sure that no one
is working near the moving units of the machine before
starting the machine.
Use the machine under the environment where access can be
supervised so that unauthorized person does not operate the machine. Supervise children so that
they do not access to the machine.
Only the persons who are sufficiently trained for the operation must operate the machine.
The rear of the machine is not a working area. If you have to move to the rear of the machine, make
sure to turn off the main switch.

Stop the machine before threading into the needle and checking the finish of embroidery.
For the machine model with the sub table, lift up and fix the sub table securely after threading and/
or adjusting the machine.
Do not damage, modify or heat the power or other cables. Do not exert undue force to them, either.
Otherwise the cables will be damaged causing fire and electric shock.
Insert the power cable plug fully. If a metallic part touches a blade in the plug, it may cause fire and/
or electric shock.
Keep away electrical units from water and chemicals. Entry or splashing of them into electrical units
leads to short circuits, causing fire, electric shock and other troubles. If water or other chemicals
enter the unit, Turn off the power switch, shut off the primary power of the machine and contact your
local distributor.
Before opening the electrical boxes, be sure to turn off the power switch of the machine and shut off
the primary power. If not, it may cause electric shock.

1-2. Caution
When operating the machine, the following items must be observed strictly to prevent accidents resulting in
injury or death and property damage.
Use the machine with about 70% of the maximum speed as "operation for total fitting" for about two
weeks after installing this machine. By performing operation for total fitting, life of the machine will
become longer, which will be useful to avoid unexpected troubles.
Do not use bent needles or needles that are not suitable for the material. Be sure to turn OFF the
power switch after working, and turn OFF the primary power supply.
Do not put things on the machine table.
This machine uses strong magnet. This machine including magnet should not be accessed to a
cellular phone, an analogue watch, a floppy disk, a magnetic card, a magnetic tape or a magnetic
ticket.
In addition to full-time leak current, leak electric current generated by harmonics and surge flows in the
power cable of the machine. For this reason, if selection and installation of breaker of leak current and
leak current relay used for the factory are not correct, malfunctioning of the machine may occur.
Regarding connection of power cord, observe the following items.
Use a breaker of electric current leakage and leak current relay for which measures are taken
against harmonics and surge. If you use conventional breaker and relay without such measures,
select with sufficient leak current capacity to fill up leak current by harmonics and surge. (In this
case, leak current must be controlled constantly satisfactorily.)
Regarding capacity of electric current leakage for leakage breaker and leak current relay necessary
per machine, consult your local TAJIMA distributor.
For actual product names of breaker of electric current leakage and leak current relay for which
measures are taken against harmonics and surge, please consult your local TAJIMA distributor or
electric engineers.
To prevent the machine from property damages (the power decline of the main shaft motor, etc.,
stop position error and its color change error, design displacement, etc), one embroidery machine
should be connected to one no fuse breaker in regard to connecting power harness.

Prevent the operation noise in the environment.
This machine is designed to reduce noise during operation. To
improve the sound insulation performance in a factory still more, use
the interior finish materials which show high sound insulating
performance for the walls, ceiling, and floor of the factory.
Install the machine on a sturdy floor.
The floor structure must be strong enough to bear the machine
weight (indicated on the spec. plate).
Avoid dust and moisture.
Since dust and moisture lead to dirt and rust on the machine, use the
machine in an environment of facility of air conditioner, and clean the
working place periodically. Use caution not to expose the machine to
direct wind from the air conditioner so that embroidery threads do not
become disheveled.
Humidity:
30 to 95% RH (relative humidity) without condensation
Ambient temperature:
5 to 40°C (during operation), -10 to 60°C (during storage)
Avoid direct sunlight.
If the machine is exposed to direct sunlight over an extended period
of time, the machine body may be discolored or deformed. Put
curtains or shades to the site to prevent the machine from direct
sunlight.
Provide enough space for maintenance.
Taking account of workability when maintaining and inspecting the
machine, provide 50 cm or more working area to right, left and rear
directions of the machine against obstacles such as walls.
Pay attention to interference of radio wave.
Although the machine is designed not to affect radio wave
interference to other equipments, there could be cases where it
causes interference depending on operation environment and type of
other equipment. If such problems arise, install the equipment with a
space from the machine as big as possible.
