At the time of shipment from the factory, the thread take-up amount (stroke) of the thread take-up lever q is
set to the standard setting of 5 mm for ordinary material (-1/-5) ordinary material specifications, and 0 mm for
knitted material specifications. You may need to adjust this setting depending on the sewing conditions to
prevent the thread from pulling out at the sewing start.
[Adjustment method]
Loosen the screw w and move the stopper (3.57 nut) e to adjust the operating angle of the thread take-up
solenoid r.
* The stroke of the thread take-up lever becomes longer when the stopper is moved downward, and it be-
comes shorter when the stopper is moved upward.
NOTE:
Do not increase the stroke of the thread take-up lever any more than is necessary.
If the sub-thread tension is too high, the needle thread length may become too short and the thread may come out of
the needle. Furthermore, if the sub-thread tension is too weak, the needle thread length may become too long and the
underside of the article being sewn may become untidy.

10. ELECTRIC MECHANISM

10-1. Precautions at the time of adjustment
Pay attention to the following when opening the control box for maintenance.
■ Electric shock
Some large capacitors may have a high voltage remaining in them for up to 5 minutes after the power is
turned off. To prevent electric shock, wait at least 5 minutes after the power is turned off before doing the
following:
¡ Opening and closing the control box
¡ Replacing fuses
¡ Separating and joining connectors
¡ Measuring resistance
¡ Doing anything with a possibility of touching something inside the control box
Some adjustments require measuring the voltage while the power is turned on with the control box kept
open.
In such a case, be careful not to touch any place other than that for the measurement. In addition, always
keep in mind that a high voltage remains for 5 minutes after the power is turned off.
■ Injury
While the power is turned on, the cooling fan of the control box operates; be careful not to get caught in it.
When separating or rejoining connectors, and measuring something, be careful not to cut your fingers on
metal parts such as heatsinks and covers.
10-2. Components inside the control box and the operation panel
The following are brief explanations of components inside the control box. See control circuit block diagram
at the end of this manual for the details of the connections.
◆ Main circuit board
The main circuit board is fixed to the rear panel of the control box. This PCB serves to control machine
operation.
◆ Power supply circuit board
The power supply circuit board is fixed at the bottom of the control box. Four fuses are mounted on this
PCB.
◆ Panel PCB
The panel PCB is fixed to the front panel of the operation panel. This PCB controls indications of the ma-
chine status and the input operation.
◆ DC fan motor
The DC fan motor serves as a fan to cool the inside of the control box. Clean the inlet filter monthly.
◆ Conversion transformer (depending on power supply voltage specification)
The conversion transformer controls the power supply voltage to provide 220 V.

Precautions
1. Pay attention to the following when opening the control box for maintenance.
■ Electrical shock
Some large capacitors may have a high voltage remaining in them for up to 5 minutes after the power is
turned off. To prevent electrical shock, wait at least 5 minutes after the power is turned off before doing the
following:
• Opening and closing the control box
• Replacing fuses
• Separating and rejoining connectors
• Measuring resistance
• Doing anything with a possibility of touching something inside the control box
Some adjustments require measuring the voltage while the power is turned on with the control box kept
open.
In such a case, be careful not to touch any place other than that for the measurement. In addition, always
keep in mind that a high voltage remains for 5 minutes after the power is turned off.
■ Injury
While the power is turned on, the DC fan motor of the control box operates; be careful not to get caught in
it.
When separating or rejoining connectors, and measuring something, be careful not to cut your fingers on
metal parts such as the heatsinks and covers.
2. When replacing a fuse, be sure to use a new one of the same quality and capacity as the old one.
3. Refer to the circuit block diagram at the end of this manual regarding the connector numbers and their
matches.
Before adjustment
1. While the power is turned off, check each connector is securely plugged in by referring to page 63, “List of
connector numbers and matches.”
2. Find the error status number in the troubleshooting flowchart.
3. From the applicable part of the flowchart, take the reference number to find the correspondingly numbered
details of the problem in the following table.
