Falling the machine may cause injury as well as breakdown of the machine.
Do not damage, modify, heat or apply undue force to the power cords and other connection
cables.
Otherwise the cables may be damaged causing fire and electric shock.
Insert the power cord plug fully.
Incomplete insertion could cause fire or electric shock.
Keep away electric and electronic units from water and oils.
Exposure them to water or oils leads to short circuits, causing fire and electric shock.
If water or oils enter the electric/electronic units, shut off the power by the power switch, shut off
the source of power supply and contact your TOYOTA dealer.
When disconnecting the power cord from the receptacle, pull the cord while holding the plug.
Pulling the power cord by holding the cord may damage the cord and the plug, causing fire and
electric shock.
The machine must be switched off at the mains switch on the power supply or by unplugging it
from the incoming mains supply, when:
• Sewing implements (thread, needle, bobbin, etc.) have to be replaced or adjusted
• Threading a needle, bobbin, etc
• If the workplace is left unattended

INSTALLATION
Place the embroidery machine on a rugged base so that the table will be level.
At this time, make sure to place attached vibration-preventive rubbers (H)
under the adjuster foot (1). The rubbers will effectively prevent the machine
from moving on the table or vibrating.
If the machine is not stable or it is not level, adjust the level of
the machine after loosening the nut (2) (4 places) of the adjuster
foot (1). After adjusting the machine level, tighten the nut (2) to
lock the adjuster foot.
