Automatic thread trimmer


™ In case of thread trimming, the machine stops with its needle up after turning the amount equivalent to make one and a half stitches (when the machine has stopped
with its needle down) or two stitches (when the machine has stopped with its needle up). (115 rpm)
™ Make the machine perform steps 1 through 2 using the lateral feed STM, then the sewing machine drive motor will rotate and the thread trimmer will cut the needle
and bobbin threads.
- STM operation steps -
First step 1 Disengage the drawing roller from the auxiliary roller.
Second step 2 Disengage the knife.
3 The sewing machine runs at low speed (115 rpm), and the moving knife cuts the needle and bobbin threads.
4 Disengagement of the main shaft is released and the sewing machine stops with its needle up.
Thread trimming cannot be performed while the sewing machine is in rotation or is ready to stop.

Bobbin winding
1 Set the bobbin winder shaft lever to the bobbin winding position, and the sewing machine motor rotates by turning ON the bobbin winding switch, turning ON the S/
S SW, or depressing the controller. The main shaft is disengaged at the fixed position of the first rotation. The sewing machine is in the state of stopping with its
needle up and only the bobbin winder shaft rotates. (The hook driving shaft rotates.) (Upper limit 600 rpm)
2 While the bobbin winding switch is ON, the relevant message is shown on the display. In this state, any switch other than the S/S SW is not accepted.

Presser foot lift


When the presser foot is raised and S/S SW is turned ON, the relevant message is shown on the display.
Turning ON the S/S SW makes the machine rotate by the amount equivalent to make a half stitch or one stitch and stop with its needle up. At this time, the relevant
message appears on the display.

Pattern selection
The pattern selector switch consists of the analog-type transparent touch-panel, and the range of switch is set tocorrespond with the LCD indication on the rear side.
Press the pattern selector switch, and a group of patterns which corresponds to the switch pressed is shown on the pattern LCD.
If the number of patterns contained in the group is too large to display all of them at a time, the patterns on the LCD can be changed by operating the pattern selector
key, previous screen key or next screen key.

Needle throwing
The needle throwing motion is controlled by transmitting an angle of rotation of the needle throwing STM shaft to the needle bar frame by way of link. The time to
compensate the origin of STM is when the needle throws to the left stitch base line as long as the power to the machine is ON.
When the STM is turned beyond the right stitch base line, the needle bar disengaging mechanism actuates.

Material feed (longitudinal)
An angle of rotation of the longitudinal feed STM is transmitted to the cloth feed mechanism as an inclination of the feed adjuster shaft by way of a gear so as to cause
the feed mechanism to feed the material according to the feed amount programed for each kind of stitching pattern.
The feed mechanism is controlled also when the sewing machine is turned by hand.

Reverse stitching
1) Regular patterns (excluding lateral feed straight stitch patterns, zigzag patterns and embroidery patterns)
Turn ON the reverse stitching switch, and the sewing machine rotates at low speed. The longitudinal feed STM moves the feed adjuster to the reverse stitching
position to move the feed backward. Turn OFF the switch, and the machine stops with its needle down.
The feed amount employed in reverse feed stitching for straight stitching is sama as normal feed stitching.
For a pattern other than straight stitch patterns, the reverse feed amount is fixed at -0.5 mm.
2) Lateral feed patterns (lateral feed straight stitch patterns and lateral feed zigzag patterns)
Turn ON the reverse stitching switch, and the sewing machine rotates at low speed. At this time, the longitudinal feed STM moves to the position at which the feed
mount is set to 0 mm. Now, the lateral feed STM actuates to feed the material in the reverse direction.

Embroidring device
1) The machine is fed, when embroidering, by the X feed STM and Y feed STM. An angle of rotation of each STM is transmitted, by means of a gear and belt, to the
embroidery frame as a linear travel amount in X/Y direction. This causes the machine to sew an embroidery pattern.
2) When a large, medium or small embroidery frame is installed on the machine, three frame detection switches are turned ON or OFF, and the machine determinates
the possible range of layout of the patterns that can be sewn in accordance with the size of embroidery frame, i.e., large, medium or small, installed.
In addition, the number of patterns and letters that can be stored in memory is automatically restricted in accordance with the embroidery frame installed.
3) When the embroidering device is used with the machine, the controller is rendered ineffective and the reverse stitching switch is inoperative.
The maximum speed can be changed over in four steps with the slide variable resistor.
4) If the presser foot is in the lowest position after the power to the machine has been turmed ON, the pictograph "raise presser foot" will be given on the display. If the
needle is in the lowest position, the pictgraph "raise needle" will be shown. The S/S SW is rendered ineffective.
5) If you turn the machine by hand after having selected a pattern, the machine will not perform pattern sewing. Once the S/S SW is turned ON, you are allowed to turn
the machine by hand so as to make the machine perform pattern sewing until the machine completes the pattern. After the completion ofthe pattern sewing, it is
impossible to make the machine perform pattern sewing by turning the machine by hand.
6) The sewing speed automatically changes over, during embroidering, in accordance with the travel amount of the embroidery feeding frame. (800, 750, 410 and 245 rpm)
7) To move the needle by a distance as long as 11 mm (jump) during embroidering, the sewing machine is stopped and only the embroidery frame is moved by the
distance.
8) The micro-switch is used for the detection of the origin.
9) A micro-switch is mounted on the ejection lever, and it informs the micro-computer to cut the power supply to the embroidering device STM before the terminals of
the embroidery and the main unit are drawn. This is a protective circuit not to badly affect the electronic components when the terminals are improperly connected
or they are drawn during sewing.
In addition, when the ejection lever is improperly inserted, the embroidering device does not work. So, be careful.

Automatic thread tension control


1) The automatic thread tension control is carried out by the following.
1 Pattern data (Zigzag width and feed amount are automatically specified by making a choice of a pattern to be sewn.)
2 Material thickness detecting potentiometer
3 Thread drawing stepping motor
Based on the data provided by 1 and 2, the optimum drawing amount of needle thread for every rotation of the sewing machine is calculated by a microcomputer.
The set amount drawing stepping motor rotates, draws the needle thread put between the drawing roller and the auxiliary roller and controls the amount of thread to
be used for sewing the material.
2) Rotate the machine by the amount equivalent to the sewing of several stitches by turning ON the S/S SW or operating the machine by hand, and the slack of thread
will be removed. The automatic thread tension control function works when the thread breakage detection photo-sensor becomes open.
3) For overedging, embroidering, and two color stitching, the thread drawing amount is computed using the respective operation expressions to allow the machine to
adapt to the respective sewing patterns.
4) To correct error in the actual feed amount of the material feed mechanism, sew a straight stitch pattern with the feed amount indication set to 2 mm and measure the
actual feed amount. Then adjust the feed compensating switch in accordance with the difference between the specified amount and the measured feed amount. This
corrects the operation expression used by the microcomputer.

Memory
1) When a pattern or a letter is selected, it is automatically stored in memory.
2) The maximum number that can be stored in memory is 120. For the embroidery patterns, the number of patterns to be sewn changes in accordance with the size of
the frame or the size of the patterns stored in memory, and the limit ofthe number of patterns stored in memory is automatically computed and set.
3) The one-point pattern stitching pattern cannot be stored in memory or retained as the continuous pattern mode or the pattern mode.

Pattern selection + continuous key + pattern selection


: In this case, error message is given.
Pattern selection + continuous key + retaining key

* For the retaining key, refer to the next page.

4) The vertical writing mode can be used for kana letters, Chinese characters and numerals. The embroidery patterns are effective for all patterns stored in memory.

File (save) and calling keys


1) The saving function saves a series of patterns stored in memory after the power to the machine is turned OFF. Once the power is re-turned ON, the saved patterns
can be called for sewing.
Turn ON the pattern case key to select and turn ON the save key. Then the patterns that have been stored in memory for the patterns other than embroidering
and the combined patterns for the embroidering are stored in the file of the specified No. in non-volatile memory (flash memory), and the data are saved even after
the power to the machine is turned OFF.
The condition of patterns which has been simultaneously stored in memory with the patterns such as inversion, increase, decrease, two colors, small letter, vertical
writing, vertical setting, rotation, letter interval, layout condition, etc. and the kind of embroidery frame are saved.
The file that has been saved once cannot save other patterns until the patterns saved in the file are erased.
2) If the embroidery frame installed on the machine, when calling the pattern with the calling key, is smaller than the one when it has been saved in the memory, editing
can be performed by the edit screen. Sewing cannot be performed, however, unless re-editing is peformed so that the pattern can enter inside the frame. In this case,
the error message will appear on the display.
3) Saving and calling under the embroidering mode is effective regardless of the patterns, kind of the embroidery card, built-in patterns or card patterns.

Disengagement of main shaft


1) Disengagement of the main shaft is performed by actuating the main shaft disengaging link by means of the needle throwing STM to disengage the rotation power
to the main shaft.
2) When the data of disengagement of main shaft occurs (70˚), the needle throwing STM starts driving from 287˚ and completes the motion by 0˚.
3) By the step 2) motion, the main shaft disengaging link moves to the disengaging position. (The STM completes the motion by 0˚.)
4) When the main shaft turns in the normal direction in the state that the main shaft disengaging link is in the disengaging position, the main shaft disengaging cam
slides by the main shaft disengaging link. The main shaft hand wheel and the main shaft are disengaged from each other, and the rotation power is cut.

All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com

m
5) The main shaft which has been disengaged stops at 40˚ to 50˚ by the main shaft disengaging stopper.
6) Main shaft returns from disengagement when the data other than the disengagement of main shaft occur (70˚), the needle throwing STM starts driving at 287˚ and
the main shaft disengaging link moves to the waiting position.
7) The main shaft disengaging cam slides by the main shaft disengaging cam spring and comes in contact with the main shaft hand wheel.

.co
8) When the main shaft rotates by 30˚ to 70˚ in the normal direction in the state that the main shaft comes in contact with the main shaft disengaging cam, the main shaft
disengaging cam slides further by the main shaft disengaging stopper and the main shaft hand wheel is joined together with the main shaft. As a result, the rotation
power is connected.

Automatic needle threading of machine head


1) Automatic needle threading mechanism is actuated by the exclusive threading stepping motor and the lateral feed stepping motor.
2) The automatic needle threading is carried out by the following.
1 Thread transfer body section ........ transfers the needle thread from the waiting position located on the upper side of the sewing machine.
2 Needle eyelet threading section ... passes the needle thread which is drawn in front of the needle eyelet to the needle eyelet, and puts the thread on the needle
es
clamp thread guide.
3 Threading section of thread take-up spring .... puts the needle thread which is drawn by the thread transfer body to the thread take-up lever and the the thread
take-up spring.
3) The possible range of automatic needle threading is 36˚ to 54.5˚. When the needle threading key is pressed within this range, the automatic needle threading
mechanism starts working. A series of motions is as described below.
1 Interlocking with the rotation of the lateral feed stepping motor, the drawing roller and the auxiliary roller separate from each other.
uid

At the same time, the drawing stepping motor is joined together with the threading body.
2 The thread transfer body comes down and rotates. (The threading STM starts rotating in the normal direction.)
3 The needle eyelet threading section comes down following the descending thread transfer body.
4 The thread transfer body stops in the state that the needle thread is drawn in front of the needle eyelet.
At this time, the needle threading hook stops descending at the position of needle eyelet as well.
5 The needle threading hook rotates and enters the needle eyelet. At the same time, the needle clamp thread hook arm catches the needle thread and pushes the
needle thread to near the entrance of the needle clamp thread guide.
6 By the rotation of the drawing STM, the threading body catches the needle thread and rotates. Then the threading body stops at the entrance of the thread take-
-g

up spring. (The threading body detects the stop position by opening the needle thread breakage detection shield plate.) At this time, the needle thread is put to
the thread take-up lever and the drawing roller.
7 The threading STM starts rotating in the reverse direction. The thread transfer body rotates and goes up.
At the same time, a) the needle threading hook catches the needle thread and psasses it to the needle eyelet.
b) The needle clamp thread hook arm returns to its home position after leaving the needle thread in the needle clamp thread guide.
8 When the lateral feed stepping motor returns to its home position, interlocking of the threading body with the drawing stepping motor is released and the
all

threading body returns to its home position by means of the force of the spring. At this time, the needle thread is left in the the thread take-up spring.
9 The thread transfer body stops at the upper waiting position (origin) and the automatic needle threading completes.

Automatic bobbin winding


™ Automatic bobbin thread winding from the exclusive thread (for embroidering only)
Guide the exclusive bobbin thread which has been set to the front panel to the bobbin in the hook, rotate the bobbin and wind the thread. After completing the bobbin
winding, threading to the inner hook and cutting of the needle thread are performed by means of the reverse rotation of the outer hook. This is thread winding
exclusive for for embroidering, and the applicable thread is limited to SHAPPESPAN #90.

(1) Automatic bobbin thread winding (exclusive thread) is carried out by the following.
1 Driving section of thread retaining plate ........... This section catches needle thread and drives the thread retaining plate which guides the needle thread to
bobbin.
2 Transmitting section of rotation of bobbin ......... Change-over of transmission and release of joint of driving of rotation of bobbin.
3 Re-retaining section of thread retaining ............ After completing winding, thread is stretched between the bobbin and the thread retaining plate when the thread
retaining plate travels backward up to the re-retaining position. This thread is pushed in the retaining section at
the top end of thread retaining plate by means of the inclined plane on the hook of outer hook. (For next bobbin
thread winding)
4 Threading section of inner hook ....................... After completing bobbin winding, threading to bobbin thread tension spring is performed with the hook of outer
hook which is fixed on the outer hook.
5 Bobbin thread utting section ............................. After completing threading the inner hook, bobbin thread is cut with the outer hook fixed knife which is fixed on
the outer hook.
6 Control section of amount of bobbin winding .... Setting of [S] or [M] of the amount of bobbin winding is controlled by the number of times of bobbin winding and
when [L] is set, bobbin winding is executed until the winding diameter sensor detects the amount. There is the
upperlimitation on amount of bobbin winding even when [L] is set, and bobbin winding stops before the sensor
detects when the limitation on amount is reached.

(2) Conditions of start of automatic bobbin winding


• Main shaft timing ......... 36˚ to 54.5˚
• Presser foot ................. Lower position

(3) Performance
Operator performs threading to the thread retaining plate for the exclusive bobbin thread using the threading guide supplied as an accessory.
1 Press the bobbin winding start button and the sewing machine rotates after the main shaft has been disengaged. Then checking whether thread remains in the
bobbin is executed.
2 When bobbin thread does not remain, the thread retaining plate enters on the inner hook while retaining the exclusive thread.
Lift the bobbin driving gear to rotate bobbin. Then the exclusive thread which has been retained by the thread retaining plate is induced into the bobbin slit to be
wound in the bobbin.
3 When the specified amount of bobbin winding is reached, bobbin winding completes. The thread retaining plate travels backward and moves to the re-retaining
position.
At this position, the bobbin driving gear keeps the joined state.
4 Thread is stretched between the bobbin and the thread retaining plate, and the thread is pushed in the retaining section at the top end of of thread retaining plate
by means of the inclined plane of the hook of outer hook through the normal rotation of the outer hook.
5 Outer hook rotates in the reverse direction. The hook of outer hook catches the thread connecting from the bobbin to the thread retaining plate and draw it around
in the reverse direction of rotation. Then the thread is put on the inner hook thread guide.
6 At the timing when the inner hook threading is completed, the outer hook fixed knife which is attached to the outer hook cuts the thread between the hook of outer
hook and the thread retaining plate.

If the needle threader is installed to be excessively deflected
when using a #11 needle, it will deflect more when using a #16
needle. This prevents the hook from automatically returning to
its home position at the time of needle threading.
