Ricks sed
Always observe the following instructions to
ensure the safe use of the industrial sewing
machines and devices.
1-1 Application and purpose
The sewing machine is designed to improve
productivity in the sewing industry and aust
not be used for other applications and
purposes. Do not use this sewing machine until
it can be confirmed that safety measures for
the drive units have been taken.

1-3 Working environment
DO NOT WORK IN THE FOLLOWING ENVIRONMENTS:
Place where atmosphere temperature and
humidity give @ bad influence the
performance of sewing machines.
Outdoors end place where the sewing machines
are exposed to sunlight directly.
~ Atmosphere containing dus
or flamable gases.
~ Place where voltage fluctuation exceeds 10 5
of the rated voltage.
Place where power capacity necessary for the
used motor specifications cannot be secured.

(2) Be sure to f111 or drop lubrication oil
before operating the sewing zachine.
Use the Yamato SF oil as specified,
(3) Never put your hand under the needle or
near the moving parts of the machine when
turning en power supply switch.
(4) When operating a nen sewing aachine, make
sure the rotating direction of pulley
agrees with the rotating-direct ion mark.
 
2-5 During operation
(1) Be sure to operate the sewing machine with
the safeguards such as belt cover, finger
guard, and eye guard.
(2) Never place the finger, hair or objects
under the needle or close to the moving
parts while operating the sewing machine,
(3) Be sure to turn off the power supply
switch when threading or replacing the
needles,
er place your hands cl
when operating the sewing machine with the
trianing devices.
Be sure to turn off the power supply
switch when terminating the sewing work or
 
se to the
   
  
 
leaving the sewing machine.
 
(6) If the sewing machine malfunctions,
abnormal sound or smell sonething unusual
while operating, be sure to turn off the
power supply switch.
2-6 Removal
(1) Turn off the power supply switch if
removed or replaced any parts or during
adjustnent of sewing machine.
(2) Do not pull the cord when removing the
plug. Be sure to hold the plug itself.
(3) A high voltage is applied inside the
control tox. Turn off the poner supply
switch and 5
 
nore than 5 minutes before
opening the cover.
 
3. Maintenance, inspection,
Eyercma- ele
 
(1) Follow the instruction manuals for
maintenance, inspection, and repair.
(2) Entrust the maintenance, inspection, and
repair to specially trained personnel.

Open the lid® of the SP container and check if
there is proper amount of silicone oil. If not, supply
the oil
ZX CAUTION
@ When not using the SP device, remove the

2. Loosen the screw@) on the take-up®, and
adjust the take-up's position so that it pulls
threads in the middle of the looper thread
eyelet2. Then, tighten the screw®.
Note: This is the standard position.
(Changing looper thread tension)
To increase the tension, move the looper thread
take-up@ to direction Y in the right figure
aftermaking the above adjustment.
To decrease the tension, move the take-up to
direction X in the right figure after making the
above adjustment.
Here, also adjust the looper thread eyelet@.
Note: When the eyelet@ moves to direction U, the
tension increases, and when the eyelet@
moves to direction D, the tension decreases.
On normal occasion, however, don't make
this adjustment,
Do not lower the eyelet® toward direction
D from the position where when the take-up
is in the lowest position, the thread hole
of the take-up@ and that of the eyelet@ are
in the same line, (See Fig 048-1)Maintenance
 
Pett
At shipment, from the center of the screws@ to
that of the thread holes is 10 - 13 mm,
(Making adjustment)
Loosen the screw() and move the eyelet@ to the
proper position. Then, tighten the screw(D.
@To decrease thread tension, raise the eyelet@.
