  • Page 2 INTRODUCTION  Thank you very much for purchasing Mitsubishi industrial sewing machine.  Please read this instruction manual before operating the sewing machine. Please read also “Safety Manual” , “Instruction manual for Mitsubishi Limiservo X” and operate the sewing machine correctly and safely. PRECAUTION BEFORE STARTING OPERATION Safety Precautions 1 . When turning the power on, keep your hands and fingers away from the area around/ under the needle and the area around the pulley. 2 . The power must be turned off when the machine is not used, or when the operator leaves his/her seat. 3 . The power must be turned off before tilting the machine head, installing or removing the “V” belt, adjusting the machine, or replacing parts. 4 . Avoid placing fingers, hairs, obstacles, etc. near the pulley, “V” belt, bobbin winder wheel, or motor when the machine is in operation. Injury could result. 5 . Don’t put fingers into the thread take-up lever cover, around/under the needle, or pulley when the machine is in operation. 6 . If the belt cover, the finger guard, and/or the eye guard are installed, don’t operate the machine without these safety devices.

    USAGE PRECAUTION 3 Lubrication condition 4 Adjustment of lubrication to the rotating hook See dripping of oil through the oil sight window to check oiling condition during operation. Confirm that oil has been drained from the oil tank when the operation is stopped. When dust, etc. accumulate in the oil tank, remove the rubber plug to clean. Adjusting Decrease Increase screw Rubber plug Oil sight window 5 Precaution for the built-in type detector 1 . Since the optical type detecting element is used in the detector, prevent dust or oil from sticking to the detecting plate when the sewing machine pulley is removed for adjustment. If they have stuck, wipe them off with soft cloth carefully so that the surface is not scratched, do not let oil permeate the clearance on the detecting plate. 2 . In case of disconnection of the position detector connector, running off the belt or complete constraint and over load, the motor is automatically turned off after predetermined time to prevent burning of the motor. (However, in case of half-constraint and over load, the power may not be turned off.) After the failure is eliminated, the normal operation is resumed by turning off the power...
