Following items have to be checked every working day before the operation of the machine and before the start of work hours.

1. Ascertain that the oil pan is filled with the predetermined amount of oil.
2. Never operate the machine unless the oil pan has been filled up with oil.
3. Ascertain that the pressure gauge indicates the designated air pressure of 0.5 MPa.

* (This is necessary particularly when the compressor is stopped for a lunch break or the like.)

If the compressed air pressure is equal to or less than the designated value, troubles such as interference between the parts can occur. It is therefore necessary to carefully check the compressed air pressure.

1. Check whether the needle thread/bobbin thread need to be replenished.

2. To perform sewing immediately after turning ON the power switch, perform trial stitching first, then proceed with sewing of actual products after the test sewing.

3. In order to prevent the sensor from showing a detecting failure, be sure to clean thread waste around the sensor using an air gun once or more times a day.

1. Precautions for use

1. For a wider material, fold the material toward you and sew it while putting your hand on it. If you don't guide the fabric by hand during sewing, the material may warp at the end of sewing.
2. When sewing some patterns, it is also necessary to put your hand on the material at the end of sewing.
3. Setscrew for the presser bar base

Technical diagram of a mechanical assembly with labeled component '1'

1) Never loosen setscrew ① in the presser bar base. If it is loosened, the walking foot movement timing will change from the correct one.
2) When it is really necessary to loosen setscrew ①, it should be loosened when the walking foot comes down to contact the throat plate surface.

6. Lubrication

CAUTION :

When tilting or re-raising the sewing machine, take care not to allow your fingers or any other part of your body to be caught.

JUKI HIGH LOW A B ① ② ③

Before operating the sewing machine

1) Put magnet ① supplied with the unit in the waste oil screw section.
2) Fill oil pan ② with JUKI New Defrix Oil No. 1 until HIGH mark (A) is reached.
3) When the oil level lowers below LOW mark (B), re-fill the oil pan with the specified oil.
4) When you operate the sewing machine after lubrication, you will see splashing of oil through oil sight window ③ if the lubrication is normal.
5) Note that the amount of the splashing oil does not represent the amount of oil in the oil pan.

1. When operating a newly installed sewing machine or a machine which has not been used a long period, be sure to run the sewing machine for approximately 10 minutes for the purpose of break-in using the bobbin winding key mounted on the operation panel.

2. Be sure to use JUKI's genuine oil. If any other oil is used, a trouble may be caused.

7. Installing the thread stand

Technical diagram of a mechanical assembly with numbered components, likely for assembly or maintenance instructions.

1) Assemble the thread stand unit. Then, insert the assembled thread stand into the hole in the table.
2) Tighten locknut ① to fix the thread stand.
3) When ceiling wiring is possible, pass the power cord through spool rest rod ②.

Be sure to install intermediate thread guide ③ to the thread stand without exceptions.

Technical diagram of a sewing machine with numbered components for identification

4) Place the thread stand so that its spool holder disks are brought to the rear side of the sewing machine in order to prevent the thread from getting in and caught between handwheel ④ and belt cover ⑤ of the sewing machine. In addition, use intermediate thread guide ③ of the thread stand to minimize the length of thread extending from that guide to thread guide ⑥ of the sewing machine.

Check the following items to make sure that the thread will neither get into nor be entangled in handwheel ④ of the sewing machine.

1. Be sure to use intermediate thread guide ③ and pass the thread through it when threading the machine head in order to prevent the thread from getting into handwheel ④.
2. The thread drawn from the thread stand may slack and get caught in the handwheel due to the effects of wind (direction). Check the direction, etc. of wind.
3. Be aware that, in the case you have tilted the sewing machine for maintenance, the thread drawn from the thread stand may slack and get entangled in handwheel ④ when you raise the sewing machine after the completion of maintenance.

Technical diagram of a sewing machine with numbered components and labeled parts

5) As an example of poor installation of the thread stand, if the thread stand is installed so that its spool holder disks are brought to handwheel ④ side, the thread extending from intermediate thread guide ③ of the thread stand to thread guide ⑥ of the sewing machine passes above handwheel ④ during sewing. In this case, the thread is likely to slack and may be entangled in handwheel ④.

8. Removing the covers

The value you set in this step determines the number of times of bobbin thread remaining amount detection at which the bobbin thread runout warning message is displayed on the sewing machine (to prevent the sewing machine from proceeding to the next sewing). If the amount of bobbin thread remaining on the bobbin is still sufficient for continuing sewing when the bobbin thread runout warning message is displayed on the sewing machine, adjust by increasing the number of times of bobbin thread remaining amount detection. The setting range is 0 (zero) to 19.

If the number of times of bobbin thread remaining amount detection is set to 0 (zero), the bobbin thread remaining amount detection will be temporarily placed in the OFF state. If the bobbin thread remaining amount detecting function does not work, firstly check the set value of this data item.

5-2. Adjusting procedure of the sensor position

Two sensors are used in the bobbin thread remaining amount detecting device. The device does not work properly unless those sensors are correctly positioned.

Technical diagram of a mechanical assembly with numbered components and directional arrows indicating movement or assembly.

1. Home position sensor ①

The one of the two sensors, which is located at the lower side of the device is the home position sensor ①. Check to be sure that the light of the sensor goes out when the detecting rod hides in the hook and lights up when it comes back.

2. Detecting sensor ②

Detecting sensor ②, which is located at the upper side of the device, detects the remaining amount of bobbin thread. The remaining length of thread is changed by moving up or down the mounting position of the sensor. Be sure to adjust the position of the sensor according to the type of bobbin thread to be used and sewing length specified for the process.

1) Uniformly wind the bobbin thread to be actually used for sewing on the bobbin.

The winding length of the thread is roughly as described below.

Example) When the sewing length is 0.5 m:

0.5 m	×	5	+	1.5 m	=	4m
(Length of thread for each detection)		(Number of times of detection)		(Bobbin thread remaining length at the time of detection)

2) Fit the bobbin in the bobbin case (exclusive). Put the bobbin case in the hook.

3) Slightly loosen two detecting sensor fixing screws ③.

4) Turn eccentric pin ⑤ to lower detecting sensor ② little by little from its highest position, while pressing down solenoid arm ④ with one hand.

5) Lower detecting sensor ② until its monitor lamp lights up.

6) Carefully moving the solenoid arm up and down, check to be sure that the monitor lamp of detecting sensor ② flashes on and off.

7) The position at which the monitor lamp lights up and the position at which it goes out are not the same. It is therefore necessary to check the above at the former position.

8) Once the correct position of the sensor is found, securely tighten detecting sensor fixing screw ③. At this time, carefully tighten the screw while preventing the sensor from being displaced.

5-3. Installing the bobbin thread remaining amount detecting devices

Be sure to install the driving device which has already been adjusted. If not, the sewing machine can fail.

6) Close the electrical box cover. Clamp the cords coming out from the electrical box with the cord keep plate. Now, the installation of the bobbin thread remaining amount detecting sensor. Do not forget to tighten the screws in the cover.
7) Turn ON the power to the sewing machine. Set the bobbin thread remaining amount detection. (Refer to "V-5-5-1. Setting the bobbin thread remaining amount detection" p.30 for the setting procedure.)

About errors

1. If the error display [E998] appears on the operation panel, turn OFF the power to the sewing machine once and check that the connectors are fully inserted into the board.
2. Remove the cover from the driving device for cleaning. In particular, the sensor and driving section should be carefully cleaned.

Refer to "V-5-5-1- ③ Setting the number of times of detection of the remaining amount of bobbin thread." p.31 for the method for setting the number of times of detection of the remaining amount of bobbin thread.

② Start the normal sewing. (For test sewing, specify the sewing length which is same as that for actual process.)

③ If you continue sewing and carry out thread trimming in repetition, the error popup screen (A) will be displayed and the buzzer will sound when the remaining amount of bobbin thread is detected.

④ At this time, observe the actual length of bobbin thread remaining on the bobbin and adjust the counter value appropriately.

⑤ The remaining length of bobbin thread when its runout has been detected by the sensor varies more or less even under the most favorable conditions. This variation is caused by the type of thread or sewing length. As a guide, the remaining length of bobbin thread varies by approximately three turns of thread around the bobbin.

At this time, the length of thread is as shown in the following example.

Adjust the counter so that bobbin thread remains by "a half of variation in length + 0.5 m."

[Example of thread length equivalent to three-turns of thread on the bobbin.]

	Spun thread #60, #80	Approximately 2.5 m for three turns around the bobbin
	Tetoron thread #60, #80	Approximately 3 m for three turns around the bobbin
	Spun thread, Tetoron thread #30	Approximately 2 m for three turns around the bobbin

⑥ If the counter value is increased by one, the remaining length of bobbin thread will be shortened by one sewing length.

⑦ Due to the aforementioned variation in the remaining length of bobbin thread, the bobbin thread may completely run out during sewing depending on the adjustment of the counter value. Adjust the counter to the set value which ensures that the bobbin thread will never run out during sewing in accordance with sewing conditions for each sewing process.

⑧ If the bobbin thread runs out during sewing even when the bobbin thread remaining amount adjustment counter at "1," or, to the contrary, if the remaining length of bobbin thread is still too long even when it is set at "19," the position of the detecting sensor has to be adjusted. (Refer to "V-5-5-2. Adjusting procedure of the sensor position" p.32 for the adjusting procedure.)

In the case the bobbin thread runs out → Lower the position of the detecting sensor.

In the case the remaining length of bobbin thread is too long → Raise the position of the detecting sensor.

5-5. For proper operation of the bobbin thread remaining amount detecting device

This device mechanically detects the remaining amount of bobbin thread. Since the device performs detection after thread trimming, the remaining amount of bobbin thread varies by a certain degree. The variation in the remaining amount of bobbin thread can be minimized by paying attention to the following.

1. How the bobbin is wound with thread

The bobbin thread remaining amount detecting device detects the thread amount by directly touching the thread wound on the bobbin with its detecting rod. It is therefore important that the bobbin is uniformly wound with thread. In particular, carefully check how the thread is wound on the bobbin at the beginning of winding.

2. Sewing length

Since the device performs detection after thread trimming, the degree of variation in the remaining amount of bobbin thread differs according to the sewing length of one sewing operation.

In general, the shorter the sewing length of one sewing operation is set, the smaller the variation in the remaining amount of bobbin thread becomes small. In the case multiple processes are combined for sewing where the sewing length differs by process, the variation can become larger.

ength of thread when wound on the bobbin by three turns

Spun thread #60, #80 Approx. 2 to	2.5 m
Tetoron thread #60, #80 Approx. 3	m
Spun thread, Tetoron thread #30	Approx. 2 m

21. Setting the upper shirring

The upper shirring amount can be selected with MEMORY switch "U06" between two different methods; i.e., "Specify the top feed amount" (indicated in mm) and "Specify the percentage with respect to the bottom feed amount" (indicated in %).

It is possible to divide the upper shirring section into as many as 10 sections and specify the shirring amount for the respective sections separately.

At the same time, the machine head speed can be set separately for those sections.

Example: In the case only one section of a seam is shirred shirring

A B C D Start End Standard sewing section Upper shirring section Standard sewing section

For the shirring amount, the "absolute value display" is to be selected in the data item "U06" and four sections A to D are to be used.

Number	Setting item Set value Remarks
S40	Section A - Shirring amount 2.5 Top feed amount	should be set at	2.5 mm.
S41	Machine head section speed A 2500		The machine head speed should be set at 2,500 sti/min.
S42	Upper shirring changeover position A (the number of stitches)	40 40-stitches section
S43	Section B - Shirring amount 3.7 Top feed amount	should be set at	3.7 mm.
S44	Machine head section speed B 2500		The machine head speed should be set at 2,500 sti/min.
S45	Upper shirring changeover position B (the number of stitches)	40 40-stitches section
S46	Section C - Shirring amount 2.5 Top feed amount	should be set at	2.5 mm.
S47	Machine head section speed C 2500		The machine head speed should be set at 2,500 sti/min.
S48	Upper shirring changeover position C (the number of stitches)	20 20-stitches section
S49	Section D - Shirring amount 2.5 Top feed amount	should be set at	2.5 mm.
S50	Machine head section speed D 3500		The machine head speed should be set at 3,500 sti/min.
S51	Upper shirring changeover position D (the number of stitches)	0	To the end

When the upper shirring changeover position (the number of stitches) is set at "0" the upper shirring section continues to the end. The sewing machine does not move to the next section.

22. Setting the manipulator pressure

One seam can be divided into 10 upper/lower manipulator pressure section subsections at the maximum. The pressure value can be separately set for the respective sections.

Example: In the case one seam is sewn with the one same pressure

Number Setting item Set value Remarks
S80 Section A - Upper manipulator pressure 85			The material is clamped with the pressure value 85.
S81 Section A - Lower manipulator pressure 98			The material is clamped with the pressure value 98.
S82	Manipulator pressure changeover position A (the number of stitches)	0 The section up to the end of sewing
S83 Section B - Upper manipulator pressure xxx Any value will do
S84 Section B - Lower manipulator pressure xxx Any value will do
S85	Manipulator pressure changeover position B (the number of stitches)	xxx Any value will do
S86 Section C - Upper manipulator pressure xxx Any value will do
S87 Section C - Lower manipulator pressure xxx Any value will do
S88	Manipulator pressure changeover position C (the number of stitches)	xxx Any value will do
S89 Section D - Upper manipulator pressure xxx Any value will do
S90 Section D - Lower manipulator pressure xxx Any value will do
S91	Manipulator pressure changeover position D (the number of stitches)	xxx Any value will do

When the manipulator changeover position (the number of stitches) at "0," the manipulator pressure section continues to the end. The sewing machine does not move to the next section.

Example: In the case one seam is divided into five sections and those section are respectively sewn with different pressure values.

A B C D E S80 S83 S86 S89 S92 Upper manipulator pressure value Lower manipulator pressure value S81 S84 S87 S90 S93 End

[Prohibitions concerning handling of the electronic medium]

① The memory medium is a precision electronic device. Do not bend or give an impact to the memory medium.
② It is recommended to periodically store the data you have saved to a memory medium on other memory medium as security against accidents.
③ If you want to initialize the data, firstly make sure that the memory card does not contain any necessary data. If the memory card is initialized, the data stored on the memory card will be totally erased.
④ Avoid the use and storage of memory media in a hot and humid place.
⑤ Avoid the use of memory media near heat generating and/or combustible materials.
⑥ If contact parts of a memory medium are stained, contact failures will be caused. To avoid contact failures, do not touch them with hands. In addition, keep the contact parts clean by protecting them against dirt, dust, oil and other foreign matters. Carefully handle memory media also to protect against static electricity, etc. since static electricity can destroy internal elements.
⑦ Memory media have a limited life. After a long time of use, writing or deletion failures will occur. If such a phenomenon occurs, replace the memory medium with a new one.

To avoid possible accident due to abrupt start of the sewing machine, turn off the power to the machine beforehand.

A

1) The standard lateral position of the walking foot is obtained when a clearance of 1 mm is provided in section (A) by maximizing the top feed amount and bringing the walking foot to the front end position of its stroke. Adjust the longitudinal position of the walking foot so as to avoid abnormal noise or extra load while the sewing machine is in operation.

B A

2) To operate the sewing machine with the longitudinal position of the walking foot slightly displaced, be sure to secure a clearance of 1 mm or more at sections (A) and (B) with the feed amount maximized.

IX. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

1. Draining the filter regulator

CAUTION :

To avoid possible accident due to abrupt start of the sewing machine, turn off the power to the machine and make sure that the machine does not run even when you depress the start pedal.

1) Drain regulator ① before using the sewing machine to expel water from the regulator. (Loosen knob ② to drain the regulator.)
2) Water content affects the pneumatically controlled components. So, be careful.
3) When the air pressure drops, the pressure gauge switch for regulator ① is activated to cause an error.

2. Cleaning the sensor

CAUTION :

To avoid possible accident due to abrupt start of the sewing machine, turn off the power to the machine and make sure that the machine does not run even when you depress the start pedal.

1) When sensor is stained with dust, malfunction will result. Blow away dust from the lens, slits, angular part at the back of the sensor, and reflecting plate with an air gun supplied with the unit. 2) When the sensor is stained with oil, dust will easily gather on the sensor. If the sensor is stained with oil by any possibility, remove it with benzine or the line immediately.

Carefully clean up the slit in the throat plate sensor in particular.

3. Lubricating the manipulator roller section

CAUTION :

To avoid possible accident due to abrupt start of the sewing machine, turn off the power to the machine and make sure that the machine does not run even when you depress the start pedal.

Upper ma

Lower manipulator

1) If the upper/lower manipulator shaft section generates abnormal noise, apply a little amount of grease on to the shaft section. (The sections shown with bold arrows in the illustration.)

4. Replacing the fuse

CAUTION :

1. In order to prevent accidents caused by electrical shock, be sure to turn OFF the power to the sewing machine and wait for five minutes before opening the cover.
2. Be sure to open the control box cover after having turned OFF the power switch, and replace the fuse with a new one of the designated capacity.
