6. Thread clamp device

Trouble of sewing (slip-off of needle thread, stitch skipping, or stain of needle thread) at the time of high-
speed start can be prevented with the thread clamp device. The thread clamp device works in the state
that the thread clamp indication LED lights up and does not work when the LED goes off. Changeover of
ON/OFF motion is performed with key. When the thread clamp device is OFF, the start automati-
cally becomes the slow start.

1. When memory switch No. 35 is "1" (prohibited), the thread clamp does not work. In ad-
dition, key is ineffective.
2. Memory switch, refer to "!.[8] HOW TO USE THE MEMORY SWITCH" p.38.

* Matters that demand special attention when using the needle thread clamp device
(1) In case of with the needle thread clamp (motion), make shorter the length of needle thread remaining on
the needle at the sewing start for use. When the length of needle thread is lengthened, needle thread on
the wrong side of material is apt to protrude. In addition, when the length is excessively lengthened, the
end of needle thread held by the needle thread clamp may be rolled in the seams.
1) In case of with the needle thread clamp, the stan-
1)
dard of the length of needle thread is 33 to 36
mm.
33 to 36mm 2) When needle thread is long after replacing thread
or the like or sewing while holding needle thread by
hand, turn OFF the THREAD CLAMP key.
3) 3) When the needle thread held with the thread
clamp is rolled in the seams, do not draw the
material forcibly and cut the connecting needle
thread with the scissors or the like. The seams
are not damaged since it is the needle thread at
the sewing start.

(2) It is possible to adjust needle thread shorter by making the needle thread clamp work while holding the
stabilized sewing at the start of sewing and the gathering (bird's nest) of needle thread on the wrong side
of material can be lessened. However, for the pattern which the stitch length for neatly rolling in needle
thread is short, needle thread may protrude from the wrong side of material. Select with/without thread
clamp referring to the item below.
1) When the sewing length is short (less than ap-
proximately 10 mm), the end of needle thread
(Right side)
may protrude like beard even when adjusting
needle thread shorter.
10mm

(Wrong side)

Needle thread

- 22 -
(3) When the type of lower plate 1 that material does not come in close contact with throat plate 2 is used,
needle thread on the wrong side of material may be rolled in the seams regardless of needle thread play
or sewing length.

(Wrong side)

1
2

Needle thread

(4) For LK-1903AN (button sewing), the thread clamp is set to the motion prohibited in the state of standard
delivery due to the aforementioned (2) and (3). For (memory switch No. 35) with cross-over stitch ( ,
etc.) or X shape ( , etc.), needle thread on the wrong side of material becomes easy to be rolled in. In
this case, it is recommended to use the thread clamp.

(5) When the thread clamp is used, and bobbin thread at the sewing start appears on the right side of material,
reduce thread tension at the sewing start (2 to 3 stitches) and bobbin thread becomes less conspicuous.

[Example of setting] Tension of 1 to 2 stiitches at the sewing start is “20” when sewing tension setting is “35”.

* For the setting of tension at the sewing start, refer to "!. [6]-5. Setting the pattern thread tension"
p.30.

6. Cautions in operation

(1) When the error indicator lamp lights up, be sure to check the cause of trouble and take a proper cor-
rective measure.
(2) Do not draw, by hand, the material being sewn during sewing. Doing so will cause the needle shift
from the correct position. If the needle moves from the correct position, press the key two times.
This will return the needle to the normal origin.
(3) Do not turn OFF the power in a state that the needle is lowered. The presser comes down and the
wiper interferes with needle. As a result, there is a danger of needle breakage or the like.

11. Replenishing the designated places with grease
When the sewing machine has been used for a certain number of times of sewing, error code No. E220
is displayed on the operation panel at the time of turning ON the power. This display informs the opera-
tor of the time of replenishing the designated places with grease. Be sure to replenish the places with the
grease below. Then call the memory switch No. 245 and set it to "0" with the RESET key.
Even after the display of the error No. E220, when the RESET key is pressed, the error is released, and
the sewing machine can be continuously used. Afterwards, however, the error No. E220 is displayed ev-
ery time the power is turned ON.
In addition, when the sewing machine is used further for a certain period of time after the display of error
No. E220, the error No. E221 is displayed and the sewing machine fails to operate since the error cannot
be released even when the RESET key is pressed.
When the error No. E221 is displayed, be sure to replenish the designated places below with grease.
Then start up the memory switch and set No. 245 to "0" with the RESET key.

1. After replenishing the places with grease, the error No. E220 or No. E221 is displayed
again unless the memory switch No. 245 is changed to "0".
2. Use grease tube (Part No. 40013640) supplied as accessories to replenish the desig-
nated places below with grease.If grease other than the designated one is replenished,
damage of components will be caused.

WARNING :
Turn OFF the power before starting the work so as to prevent accidents caused by abrupt start of the
sewing machine.

(Graduation position : 2)
2) Loosen bolt 1 and move work clamp foot regulator 2 in the direction of arrow to adjust the material
closing amount. The material closing amount will be dereased when work clamp foot regulator 2 is
moved in the direction of A , and be increased when it is moved in the direction of B .

To increase the material closing amount more than 3 mm, widen the feed plate window
by additional work (increase the dimension C.) so that the feed plate window does not
interfere with the work clamp foot.

4. Adjustment of the lift of the work clamp foot

WARNING :
Turn OFF the power before starting the work so as to prevent accidents caused by abrupt start of the
sewing machine.

5. Adjustment of the pressure of the work clamp unit

WARNING :
Turn OFF the power before starting the work so as to prevent accidents caused by abrupt start of the
sewing machine.

1) The pressure of the work clamp unit should be minimized as long as the material does not warp during
sewing. Loosen adjusting screw 1 and turn adjusting screw 2 to obtain the aforementioned pressure.

6. Setting of the material closing operation

1) The material closing operation is performed by the electromagnetic solenoid, and change-over of
the operation setting (effective / ineffective) is available. The material closing has been set to work
simultaneously with sewing at the time of delivery.
2) If the material closing is not performed, the change-over is made by the memory switch. For the way
of operation, refer to item “!.[8]. How to use the memory switch” p.38 described in the instruction
manual for the LK-1900AN.

7. Selection and confirmation of the sewing patterns

WARNING :
In case of using an exclusive work clamp foot, make sure of the shape of the sewing pattern. If the
sewing pattern extends outside the work clamp foot, the needle interferes with the work clamp foot
during sewing, resulting in the danger of the needle breakage or the like.

1) The patterns for eyelet buttonhole bartacking are from No. 11 to No. 13.
2) When the material closing operation is performed, the maximum sewing size is 3x7mm. Set the most
appropriate size using the enlargement/reduction function. As for the way of operation for setting,
checking or changing the sewing pattern, refer to the item “!.[5] OPERATION OF THE SEWING
MACHINE (BASIC)” p.17 described in the instruction material for the LK-1900AN.

After setting, check the needle entry point whether or not the needle interferes with the
