Warning and cautionChapter 1

1. Warning

To prevent accidents resulting in injury or death and property damage, the following items must be observed

strictly when operating the machine.

[Before Starting the Machine]

This machine is designed for industrial use. Use this machine for semi- or finished textile products and

similar materials.

Do not use this machine for other purposes in principle.

Use this machine under the environment where access can be supervised so that unauthorized person

does not operate the machine. Supervise children so that they do not access to 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 rear of the machine, make sure

to turn off the main switch.

Do not stand on the machine. Using the bar switch as a grip to support yourself is strictly prohibited.

Please read this book thoroughly and understand the contents of

operation certainly. Then, operate the machine.

Wear proper clothes and tidy up yourself so that you can smoothly

perform the operation.

A single operator should operate the machine in principle. If plural

operators are working together, make sure that no one is working

near the moving units of the machine before starting the machine.

Do not damage, modify or heat the power or other cables. Do not

exert undue force to them, either. Otherwise the cables will be

damaged causing fire and electric shock.

Insert the power cable plug fully. If a metallic part touches a blade in the plug, it may cause fire and/or

electric shock.

[During the Machine Operation]

Do not use a device such as a cellular phone that generates microwave near the control circuits of the

power supply box, the operation panel box, etc. Microwave may cause malfunctioning of the machine.

Do not detach covers of shaft, pulley etc. Do not operate the machine with covers detached.

Do not access your hands etc. to needle during operation. Sticking needle

could injure you.

Do not access your hands or face to moving parts during operation. It is

especially dangerous around needle, rotary/shuttle hook, take-up lever, pul-

ley and speed-reduction box.

2. Caution

[Others]

Keep away electrical units from water and chemicals. Entry or splashing of them into control units leads

to short circuits, causing fire, electric shock and other troubles. If water or other chemicals enter the unit,

shut off the power at the primary power source of the machine and contact your local distributor.

Stop the machine before carrying out work near the needles such as threading the needle and checking

the finish of embroidery.

Turn off the primary power source before opening the electrical boxes. Be sure to turn off the power

switch of the machine before turning off the primary power source. If not, it may cause electric shock.

For using the machine for a long time, use the machine with about 70% of the maximum speed as

operation for total fitting for about two weeks after installing this machine. By performing operation for

total fitting, life of the machine will become longer, which will be useful to avoid unexpected troubles.

Do not use bent needles or needles that are not suitable for the material. Be sure to turn OFF the power

switch after working, and turn OFF the primary power supply.

Do not put things on the table.

[About connection of power cord]

In addition to full-time leak current, leak electric current generated by harmonics and surge flows in the power

cable of the machine. For this reason, if selection and installation of breaker of leak current and leak current

relay used for the factory are not correct, malfunctioning of the machine may occur. Regarding connection of

power cord, observe the following items.

Use a breaker of electric current leakage and leak current relay for which measures are taken against

harmonics and surge. If such a breaker and a relay are not available, select conventional breaker and

relay with sufficient leak current capacity to absorb leak current caused by harmonics and surge. (In this

case, constant leak current must be controlled satisfactorily.)

Regarding capacity of electric current leakage for breaker of electric current leakage and leak current

relay per machine, please consult your local TAJIMA distributor.

For actual product names of breaker of electric current leakage and leak current relay for which

measures are taken against harmonics and surge, please consult your local TAJIMA distributor or electric

engineers.

To prevent the machine from physical damages, one embroidery machine should be connected to one no

fuse breaker. Physical damages include a drop of output of the main shaft motor, etc., stop position error

and color change error caused by the stop position error, design displacement, etc.

! WARNING

! CAUTION

[About installation environment]

Prevent the operation noise in the environment.

This machine is designed to reduce noise during operation. To improve the

sound insulation performance in a factory still more, use the interior finish

materials which show high sound insulating performance for the walls,

ceiling, and floor of the factory.

Install the machine on a sturdy floor.

The floor structure must be strong enough to bear the machine weight

(indicated on the spec. plate).

Avoid dust and moisture.

Since dust and moisture lead to dirt and rust on the machine, use the

machine in an environment of facility of air conditioner, and clean the

working place periodically. Use caution not to expose the machine to direct

wind from the air conditioner so that embroidery threads do not become

disheveled.

Humidity: 30 to 95%RH (relative humidity) without condensation

Ambient temperature: 5 to 40C (during operation), -10 to 60C (during

storage)

Avoid direct sunlight.If the machine is exposed to direct sunlight over an extended period of

time, the machine body may be discolored or deformed. Put curtains or

shades to the site to prevent the machine from direct sunlight.

Provide enough space for maintenance.

Taking account of workability when maintaining and inspecting the

machine, provide 50 cm or more working area to right, left and rear

directions of the machine against obstacles such as walls.

Pay attention to interference of radio wave.

Although the machine is designed not to apply radio wave to other

equipment, there could be cases where it causes interference depending

on operation environment and type of equipment. If such problems arise,

install the equipment as apart from the machine as possible.

If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connectthe equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completelyunderstood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided with the product, if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed

by a qualified electrician.This machine is for use on a nominal 120V circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plugillustrated in sketch A in Figure-1. A temporary adaptor, which looks like the adaptor illustrated insketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if aproperly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should be used only until a properlygrounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, and the like,extending from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly groundedoutlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by the metal screw.

This machine is also for use on a circuit having a nominal rating more than 120V, and is factory equippedwith a specific electric cord and plug. No adaptor should be used with this machine. If the product mustbe reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit, the reconnection should be made by qualifiedservice personnel;

and after the reconnection, the machine should comply with all local codes and ordinances.
