The flow of the TURN ON operation is shown below.
Check the position of these parts:
- If the steel Plate has the needle hole on the top of the hole on the Needle Plate (Original Position)
- If the Loader is all to right backwards.

Switch on the power supply by pressing the ON key on the mains switch.
Once the computer has performed check-up,
the main menu will appear on the display:

Press the key . The machine will search for the two positioning sensors.
When the machine has read the positioning sensors it finds the Original Point.
The jigs rise and the machine is ready for use with the program last used in the memory.

5. STOPPING THE MACHINE

Press the STOP button and the current by pressing the OFF button on the main current switch only when the machine
has stopped.
The compressed air is automatically turned off.

ATTENTION
In the event of an electricity BLACK OUT, the sewing machine stops by inertia, the Loader unit remains in its resting
position and the loading cycle, if running, is cancelled.

VI.BE.MAC.spa 8
6. MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENTS
6.1. Home position regulation
The home position can be controlled by positioning the centring plate(see photo 1)and lowering the external and the
inner clamp and pressing At this point the needle must be centred in the hole(see photo 2).

1 2
The home position of the machine can be adjusted ,in the X axis moving the detector plate by loosening the screws
and moving right or left (see photo)

The sensor of the Y axis instead can be adjusted by loosening the screws and moving the sensor backward and forward

VI.BE.MAC.spa 9
 6.2. Regulation of the stacker movements
The stacker is tested wile testing the machine and once tested we block the regulators.
1 Regulator for opening speed of the short arm
2 Regulator for closing speed of the short arm
3 Regulator for opening speed of the long arm
4 Regulator for closing speed of the long arm
5 Regulator for opening speed of the central slide
6 Regulator for closing speed of the central slide

All the movements have to be fast and don’t have to bang in end stroke.

The presser foot timing can de adjusted to avoid skip stitch on thin materials or to tighten the seam on thick materials.
Remove the cover(1) and loosen screws (3)and (4) and move the eccentric (2) in (a or b) direction to anticipate or delete
the presser foot speed.
a. to speed up the presser foot timing
b. to slow down the presser foot timing

The STANDARD regulation is: turning the hand weal in machine rotation direction when the needle is moving from
LOWER DEAD POSITION up the presser foot starts moving up too.

VI.BE.MAC.spa 14
 7.5. Presser foot movement
Before doing this adjustment please control that :

If this icon is WHITE means that the thickness is

set at 0mm so it is OK
If it is BLACK means that the thickness is not at
0mm to adjust follow the following instructions

1) Presser foot THICKNESS from main menu

At this point the “THICKNESS” menu is displayed press

Set the thickness at 0mm using the arrow keys and press

2) Control by pressing
that the parameter PLP is set at 200

3) Control that the presser foot lift eccentric is ALWAYS in lowest position (as image )

VI.BE.MAC.spa 15
On the touch screen lower the presser foot by pressing turning the hand well control that there is at least 1mm
between the presser foot link and the the needle bar bracket
If the link is touching loosen the eccentric screw (image B)and move by hand the link to have 1mm of space

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
The MITSUBISHI PLK G 1010 machine is equipped with an extremely versatile and easy-to-use software.
To create a new sewing program of a FLY, follow the instructions given below, which will take you, step by step, all the
way to saving the program onto a USB KEY or into the Internal Memory.
STITCH LENGTH
Stitch lengths of between 0.1mm and 20.0mm can be programmed, in variations of 0.1mm. The machine turns at its
maximum speed if the stitch length is in between 0.1 and 3.2mm and with a lenger stitch automatically the speed is
reduced.
SEWING SPEED
Four different types of speed may be selected (H – MD1 – MD2 – L) during the sewing program.
The machine is calibrated for a maximum speed of 2500 rpm. The thread cutting speed is calibrated at 180 rpm.
CODES
A series of codes manage some operation of the unit .The codes may be inserted in the sewing program.
Type of codes used in the programs:
