IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Putting sewing systems into operation is prohibited until it has been ascertained that the sewing systems in which these
sewing machines will be built into, have conformed with the safety regulations in your country. Technical service for those
sewing systems is also prohibited.
1. Observe the basic safety measures, including, but not limited to the following ones, whenever you use the machine.
2. Read all the instructions, including, but not limited to this Instruction Manual before you use the machine. In addition, keep
this Instruction Manual so that you may read it at anytime when necessary.
3. Use the machine after it has been ascertained that it conforms with safety rules/standards valid in your country.
4. All safety devices must be in position when the machine is ready for work or in operation. The operation without the
specified safety devices is not allowed.
5. This machine shall be operated by appropriately-trained operators.
6. For your personal protection, we recommend that you wear safety glasses.
7. For the following, turn off the power switch or disconnect the power plug of the machine from the receptacle.
7-1 For threading needle, looper, spreader etc. and replacing bobbin.
7-2 For replacing parts of needle, presser foot, throat plate, looper, spreader, feed dog, needle guard, folder, cloth guide
7-3 For repair work.
7-4 When leaving the working place or when the working place is unattended.
7-5 When using clutch motors without applying brake, it has to be waited until the motor stopped totally.
8. If you should allow oil, grease, etc. used with the machine and devices to come in contact with your eyes or skin or
swallow any of such liquid by mistake, immediately wash the contacted areas and consult a medical doctor.
9. Tampering with the live parts and devices, regardless of whether the machine is powered, is prohibited.
10. Repair, remodeling and adjustment works must only be done by appropriately trained technicians or specially skilled
personnel. Only spare parts designated by Texi can be used for repairs.
11. General maintenance and inspection works have to be done by appropriately trained personnel.
12. Repair and maintenance works of electrical components shall be conducted by qualified electric technicians or under
the audit and guidance of specially skilled personnel. Whenever you find a failure of any of electrical components,
immediately stop the machine.
13. Before making repair and maintenance works on the machine equipped with pneumatic parts such as an air cylinder, the
air compressor has to be detached from the machine and the compressed air supply has to be cut off. Existing residual
air pressure after disconnecting the air compressor from the machine has to be expelled. Exceptions to this are only
adjustments and performance checks done by appropriately trained technicians or specially skilled personnel.
14. Periodically clean the machine throughout the period of use.

Danger of injury to operator or service staff
Items requiring special attention
FOR SAFE OPERATION
1. To avoid electrical shock hazards, neither open the cover of the electrical box for the motor nor touch the com-
ponents mounted inside the electrical box.
2. After changing the pattern, make sure the needle entry point. If the pattern is protruded from the work clamp
feet, the needle will interfere with the work clamp feet during sewing, and it is dangerous due to the needle
breakage or the like.
3. Do not turn OFF the power in a state that the needle is lowered. Wiper may break the needle.
1. When nothing is displayed in the operation panel even when the power switch is turned ON, turn OFF the power
switch and check the voltage and the type of the power source.
2. So as to prevent possible accidents caused by abrupt start of the sewing machine, depress the start switch after
ascertaining that there is no interfering thing under the needle when winding the bobbin thread.
3. When turning OFF the power switch, turning ON the ready switch or turning ON the work clamp foot switch, the
work clamp feet automatically come down. So, never place your fingers under the work clamp feet to prevent
possible accidents caused by abrupt start of the sewing machine. During operation, be careful not to allow your
fingers to come close to the work clamp feet.
4. So as to prevent possible accidents caused by the touch of the fingers with the needle, install a finger guard
suitable for each work clamp foot when replacing the work clamp foot.
1 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.
2 To perform sewing work with safety guard.
To perform sewing work with safety cover.
To perform sewing work with safety protection device.
3 Turn OFF the power and perform “threading”, “replacement of bobbin
or needle”, “cleaning”, “adjustment” and “lubrication”.
