CAUTIONS ON MACHINE OPERATION A CauTION eter pete el A WARNING To prevent accidents resulting in injury or death and physical damage, the following items must be observed strictly when operating the machine. -Bofere Starting the Machines ‘The machine is designed and built for industrial use. ‘+ The machine is designed and built as an industrial embroidery machine {for semi- oF finished textile products and similar materials. Using th machine for other purposes must be avoided. ‘= Use the machine in the environment where only authorized persons are permitted to enter, ¢0 that unauthorized persons will not manipulate the machine. Especially, sufficient care must be exorcisod so that a child will not enter the area near 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 roar of the machine, make sure to tur off the main switch, ‘+ Do not stand on the machine. Using the bar switch as a grip to support ‘yourself is strictly prohibited. ‘+ Insert the power cable plug fully. if a metallic part touches a blade in the plug, it may cause fire andior electric shock. ‘+ Do not damage, modify or heat the power and other cables. Do not exert undue force to them, elther. Otherwise the cables will be damaged caus- ing fire and electric shock. ‘© Read this manual and thoroughly understand the contents of operation betore starting me macnine.

P), itis easy to position the embroidery frame, NOTE : For some models, the frame movement controller is optional. + QUIET OPERATION Variety of noise-reduction mechanism keeps working environment comfortable + TRACE FUNCTION “The function checks if the design fits in the frame to be used before starting embroidery. ‘+ MEMORY CAPACITY The standard 1,140,000-sttch memory can store up to 99 designs, + TAKE-UP LEVER QUARD (PAT. F) The take-up lever guard makes thread behavior more stable and prevents entangling and com- ing-off of thread, ENLARGING, REDUCING, ROTATING, AND REVERSING DESIGN ‘The embroidered design can be enlarged or reduced in 1% increments from 50% to 200% The design can be rotated in 1° increments, AUTOMATIC REPEAT By inputting the number of times the design should be repeated, the same design can be repeated up to 99 times in the X-avie and Y-axie direction independently. BUILTAN FLOPPY DISK DRIVE AAsingle 200 floppy disk can store 111 designs with approximately 240,000 stitches. ‘Alternatively, ZHU toppy disk can hold 22% designs win approximately 480,000 stiches. SATIN STITCH (PAT. P) Stitch width can be expanded in 0.1 o 1.0 mm range wider than the desian data. DESIGN DATA EDITING ‘The design data can be edited (modified, inserted, erased, cleaned up) in 1-stitch units. + FRAME BACK ‘The embroidery frame can be traveled back in 1/3/6-stitch units or stop code units, + omen RETURN ‘A return to the design start point can be made during embroidery operation, even if the design start point does not coincide with the design end point AUTOMATIC THREAD TRIMMING AND HOLDING DEVICE This function can automaticaly trim threads according to the design data commands. In man- ual operation, this function can trim threads as desired. POWER FAILURE MEASURES \No displacement ofthe design occurs when power is restored after power failure, preventing loss of merchandise AUTOMATICIMANUAL OFFSET The frame moves aside so that applique placement, fame changing, etc. can be done easily.
