Items to notice when using this device
Items to notice when using this device
CAUTION
When using cording device, set setting on the machine side (setting for cording device) to To use.
When using cording device with setting Not to use, trouble will occur at cording embroidery.
For how to set, refer to the users manual of the machine.
To perform works described in this users manual, turn OFF the power switch.
If performing works with the power switch turned "ON", you could be injured by unexpected
malfunctioning of the machine.
When using cording device in Looping spec., set the number of operating revolutions to 600 rpm at
the maximum.
When using the cording device with the number of revolutions exceeding this, it will be broken. In
addition, main body of the machine such as presser foot could be broken.
When using cording device in Cording spec., it is possible to use the device with the
maximum number of revolutions (rpm) of the machine.
When cording device is not used, keep the cord presser set moved up (retracting position). If you
move the embroidery frame with the cord presser set lowered, the cording device and the embroidery
frame will be broken.
When using cording device, embroidery space will be limited. Before performing embroidery, keep
the cord presser set moved up (retracting position) to check if the cord presser set does not touch
the embroidery frame by trace operation.
