1. Always use rubber gloves when handling printed circuit boards and never touch the metal portion of a printed
circuit board with bare hands.
2. Keep your body earthed in order to avoid generating static electricity.
3. Pack printed circuit boards in aluminum foil and avoid subjecting them to any form of impact during storage
or transportation.
4. Do not touch or damage the metal portion of a printed circuit board with a screwdriver or any other tool while
making repairs or the like.

5. MAIN MOTOR CONTROL
The main motor for the sewing machine is required to smoothly change from low speed to high speed without any
fluctuations due to load or temperature changes. To fully comply with this requirement, this model adopts PWM
control using FET.
6. PATTERN GENERATOR
For conventional sewing machines, the pattern was generated by rocking the needle bar and the feed regulator
by means of a pattern cam onto which the pattern data had been mechanically engraved. In contrast to this, this
model stores the data electronically in memory and uses a feed pulse motor and a zigzag pulse motor to directly
rock the needle bar and the feed regulator to generate the pattern. In addition, the pulse motors must move the
position of the needle while the needle is raised and stop it in the correct position (and similarly, they must move
the position of the feed regulator while the needle is lowered). Thus, highly-precise positioning and a fast
response speed are required. Because of this, the feed pulse motor and a zigzag pulse motor were adopted, and
a simple open-loop structure circuit was employed.

7. AUTOMATIC THREAD TENSION
On former models, the operator adjusted the thread tension of the needle and bobbin threads by changing the
pressure between the tension disks.
On this model, however, the thread tension is calculated based on the horizontal and vertical movements of the
embroidery frame, and the appropriate needle thread amount is fed by the thread tension pulse motor.
This always gives you correct the thread tension regardless of thread, kinds of fabric or sewing speed.

8. OTHER ELECTRONIC COMPONENT FUNCTIONS
Start/stop switch.................................. used to start and stop (SS) the machine. If you want to start sewing at low
speed, keep this switch depressed and start sewing.
Backstitch switch................................. used for backstitching and lockstitching. Backstitching is performed at low
speed in the reverse direction while the switch is pressed. For
lockstitching, three stitches are made at the current needle position and
then sewing stops.
Needle position (UP/DOWN) switch.... used to change the needle position either up or down.
Automatic thread cutter switch............ used to cut the thread automatically. When you press this switch, the
machine will automatically cut the thread, regardless of the needle
position, and stop with the needle at its upper position.
Touch panel......................................... used to select pattern and input number required for sewing by simply
touching the display on the panel. This simplifies the operation for
selecting the desired pattern and number.
Buttonhole stitch switch....................... used to detect the edges of the buttonhole stitch by means of the
buttonhole stitch presser foot and lever.
Buttonhole stitch lever switch.............. used to detect whether the buttonhole stitch lever is raised or lowered.
Rotation sensor ................................... detects the drive timing of the embroidery frame drive, zigzag, feed and
thread feed pules motor and detects the vertical position of the needle.
Also detects the turning angle of the upper shaft by means of a
photointerruptor and shutter installed on the upper shaft.
Speed sensor ...................................... used to detect the rotation speed of the main motor.
detects the operating speed of the main motor by means of a
photointerruptor and shutter installed on the upper shaft.
Bobbin winder switch........................... used to detect whether the bobbin winder has been set when winding the
lower thread.
Junction for foot controller................... when using the foot controller, connect it to this terminal.
Transformer......................................... used for driving the pulse motors, to illuminate the lamps and to supply
power to the electronic circuitry.
Lamp.................................................... is 12V 5W.
