INSTALLATION
•Machine installation should only be carried out by a qualified technician.
•Contact your dealer or a qualified electrician for any electrical work that may need to be done.
•The sewing machine weighs 48kg. The installation should be carried out by two or more people.
•Do not connect the power cord until installation is complete. The machine may operate if the
treadle is depressed by mistake, which could result in injury.
•Use both hands to hold the machine head when tilting it back or returning it to its original
position. If only using one hand, the weight of the machine head may be too heavy to hold, and
may cause human physical injuries
•Install the rubber cushion and the rest board in sequence as the attached table cut-out drawing
and the part lists. In case of the semi-submerged type installation, the distance from the surface
of the needle plate to the surface of the table is 100 mm, whereas the fully-submerged type
installation is only 5 mm. Figure 1 shows a semi-submerged table top.
Figure 1

•Install the pedal of motor (4)(Fig. 2) on the left side, and the pedal of presser foot lift (5) on the
right side.
•Install the waste chute and the thread stand as the part lists show.

BREAK IN PERIOD
Please operate this machine at 80% of the maximum speed in the first tour weeks for engagement.
This will help extend the life of your new machine and allow the machine to “break-in” all new parts.
LUBRICATION
Fill the lubrication oil (Fig. 6)(1) Remove the screw (1), and fill it with the included high speed oil.
Tighten the screw (1) after the oil level indicator locates between the two marking lines.
When changing the oil or simply draining the oil out of the machine, loosen screw (2) (Fig. 7). When
removing the oil drain plug, make sure not to lose the drain plug washer.

TENSIONS
The thread tension should be adjusted properly according to the kinds and the thickness of the
materials, stitch length, and seam width, etc. In addition, adjust the nuts case by case
individually. Turn the nuts clockwise will increase the thread tension. Otherwise, the thread
tension will be decreased
(1) The first adjusting knob controls double chain stitch threads (TN-757) or the left over-
lock needle thread (TN-747).
(2) The second adjusting knob controls the seam lock needle thread.
(3) The third adjusting knob controls the upper looper thread.
(4) The fourth adjusting knob controls the lower looper thread.
(5) The fifth adjusting knob controls the double chain looper thread.

NEEDLES
•Please use the needle DCX27 or the equivalents.
•Loosen the screw and take off the needle.
•Insert the new needle and push it up completely until the top of the needle is firmly
seated as deep as it can travel into the needle bar. All needles should be installed with
the scarf of the needle facing the back of the machine and the long groove faces your
side.
•Tighten the screw (Fig.13)
CAUTION! Turn off main power switch before changing needles
Figure 13

CHANGING THE STITCH LENGTH
The stitch length is adjusted according to the fabrics, the differential ratio or other factors. Keep pressing
the button (1) and turn the pulley till the button is locked. Then, release the button after reaching the
desired stitch length. (Fig.14)
Figure 14

CHANGING THE DIFFERENTIAL FEED
If the stroke of the main feed dog is larger than the stroke of the differential feed dog, the fabric will be
extended while sewing. Otherwise, it will be shrunk
Loosen the adjusting nut (1) Adjust the adjusting rod (2) downward will shrink the fabric, whereas move it
upward will extend the fabric. Tighten the adjusting nut (1) after the adjustment finishes. (Fig.15)
