A4s Operation Manual

Safety Instruction 
· Please read this manual carefully, also with related manual for the machinery before
use the controller.
· For installing and operating the controller properly and safely, qualified engineers
are required.
· Please stay away from arc welding equipment, in order to avoid electromagnetic
interference and malfunction of the controller.
· Keep room temperature bellow 45°c and above 0°c
· Do not use in humidity below 30% or above 95% or dew and mist places.
· Please turn off the power and unplug the power cord, before install the control box
and other components,
· To prevent interference or electric leakage accidents, please make the ground work;
the power cord ground wire must be securely connected to earth by an effective
way.
· All parts for the repair provided by the Company or approved before use.
· Please turn off the power and unplug the power cord before any maintenance
action. There is dangerous high voltage control box, you must turn the power off
after one minute before opening the control box.
· The symbol in this manual means Safety Precautions, please pay attention to it
and strictly follow it, to avoid any unnecessary damage.

The grounding wire is yellow and green lines, it must be connected to the grid and reliable security protection on the
ground to ensure safe use, and prevent abnormal situation.
：All power lines, signal lines, ground lines, wiring not to be pressed into other objects or excessive distortion, to ensure safe
use!

4 Pedal sensitivity adjustment

Pedal movement starts from the initial position (p.136) where the motor stops, slowly stepped forward to the
low speed point (p.137) where the motor runs at the minimum speed (p.100), proceeding to the accelerated point
(p.138) where the motor start fasten, until the max speed point (p.139) where the motor run up to the maximum
speed (p.101). And when the pedal steps back to the foot lifter position (p.135), the automatic presser foot lifting.
Continuing back to the auto trimming position (p.134), thread trimming is completed automatic. The parameter
value is set for an assurance (No. 134 parameters) < (No. 135 parameter) <( No. 136 parameters) <( No. 137
parameters) <( No. 138 parameters) <( No. 139 parameters). Adjusting the corresponding parameters, user can
acquire the proper pedal response to fit the personal habit.
