INSTALLATION

1. Installing the undercover
2. The undercover should rest on the four corners of the machine table groove.
3. Two rubber seats 1 for supporting the head portion on the operator side A are fixed on the extended portion of the table by hitting the nail 2 , and the other two rubber cushion seats 3 on the hinge side B are fixed by using a rubber-based adhesive. Then, oil pan 4 is placed.
4. Fit hinge 1 into the opening in the machine bed, and fit the machine head to table rubber hinge 2 before placing the machine head on cushions 3 on the four corners.

INSTALLING THE BELT COVER AND THE BOBBIN WINDER

WARNING :
To protect against possible personal injury due to the abrupt start of the machine, be sure to start the following work after turning the power off and ascertaining that the motor is at rest.

ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE KNEE LIFTER
WARNING :
To protect against possible personal injury due to the abrupt start of the machine, be sure to start the following work after turning the power off and ascertaining that the motor is at rest.

1. The standard height of the presser foot lifted using the knee lifter is 10 mm.
2. You can adjust the presser foot lift up to 13 mm using knee lifter adjust screw 1. (Max. 9 mm for A type)
3. When you have adjusted the presser foot lift to over 10 mm, be sure that the bottom end of needle bar 2 in its lowest position does not hit presser foot

INSTALLING THE THREAD STAND

LUBRICATION
WARNING :
To protect against possible personal injury due to the abrupt start of the machine, be sure to start the following work after turning the power off and ascertaining that the motor is at rest.

1. Information on lubrication

2. Fill oil pan 1 with JUKI New Defrix Oil No. 1 up to HIGH mark A.

3. When the oil level lowers below LOW mark B, refill the oil pan with the specified oil.

4. When you operate the machine after lubrication, you will see splashing oil through oil sight window 2 if the lubrication is adequate.

5. Note that the amount of the splashing oil is unrelated to the amount of the lubricating oil.
   When you first operate your machine after setup or after an extended period of disuse, run your machine at 3,000 sti/min. for about 10 minutes for the purpose of a break-in.

6. Adjusting the amount of oil supplied to the face plate parts

7. Adjust the amount of oil supplied to the thread take-up and needle bar crank 2 by turning to adjust pin 1.

8. The minimum amount of oil is reached when marker dot A is brought close to needle bar crank 2 by turning the adjusted pin in direction B.

9. The maximum amount of oil is reached when marker dot A is brought to the position just opposite from the needle bar crank by turning the adjust pin in direction C.

ADJUSTING THE AMOUNT OF OIL (OIL SPLASHES) IN THE HOOK

WARNING :
Be extremely careful about the operation of the machine since the amount of oil has to be checked by turning the hook at a high speed. * When carrying out the procedure described below in 2, remove the slide plate and take extreme caution not to allow your fingers to come in contact with the hook.

1. If the machine has not been sufficiently warmed up for operation, make the machine run idle for ap-proximately three minutes. (Moderate intermittent operation)
2. Place the amount of oil (oil spots) confirmation paper under the hook immediately after the machine stops running.
3. Confirm the height of the oil surface in the oil reservoir is within the range between “HIGH” and “LOW”.
4. Confirmation of the amount of oil should be completed in five seconds. (Check the period of time with a watch.)

Sample showing the appropriate amount of oil

1. The amount of oil shown in the samples on the left should be finely adjusted in accordance with sewing processes.
   Be careful not to excessively increase/decrease the amount of oil in the hook. (If the amount of oil is too small, the hook will be seized (the hook will be hot). If the amount of oil is too much, the sewing product may be stained with oil.)

2. Adjust the amount of oil in the hook so that the oil amount (oil splashes) should not change while checking the oil amount three times (on the three sheets of paper).

Adjusting the amount of oil (oil spots) in the hook

1. Turning the oil amount adjustment screw attached on the hook driving shaft front bushing in the “+” direction (in direction A) will increase the amount of oil (oil spots) in the hook, or in the “–” direction (in direction B) will decrease it.
2. After the amount of oil in the hook has been properly adjusted with the oil amount adjustment screw, make the sewing machine run idle for approximately 30 seconds to check the amount of oil in the hook.

ATTACHING THE NEEDLE

WARNING :
To protect against possible personal injury due to the abrupt start of the machine, be sure to start the following work after turning the power off and ascertaining that the motor is at rest.

SETTING THE BOBBIN INTO THE BOBBIN CASE

1. Pass the thread through thread slit A, and pull the thread in direction B.
   By so doing, the thread will pass under the ten-sion spring and come out from notch B.

2. Check that the bobbin rotates in the direction of the arrow when thread C is pulled.

2. After adjustment, securely tighten the setscrew 1.

THREADING THE MACHINE HEAD

WARNING :
To protect against possible personal injury due to the abrupt start of the machine, be sure to start the following work after turning the power off and ascertaining that the motor is at rest.

THREAD TENSION

1. Adjusting the needle thread tension
2. As you turn thread tension nut 1 clockwise (in direction A), the needle thread tension will be increased.
3. As you turn nut 1 counterclockwise (in direction B), the needle thread tension will be decreased.
4. Adjusting the bobbin thread tension
5. As you turn the tension adjust screw 2 clockwise (in direction C), the bobbin thread tension will be increased.
6. As you turn screw 2 counterclockwise (in direction D), the bobbin thread tension will be decreased.

THREAD TAKE-UP SPRING

1. Changing the stroke of the thread take-up spring 1
2. Loosen setscrew 2.
3. As you turn tension post 3 clockwise (in direction A), the stroke of the thread take-up spring will be increased.
4. As you turn the knob counterclockwise (in direction B), the stroke will be decreased.
5. Changing the pressure of thread takeup spring 1
6. Loosen setscrew 2, and remove tension post 3.
7. Loosen setscrew 4.
8. As you turn tension post 3 clockwise (in direction A), the pressure will be increased.
9. As you turn the tension post counterclockwise (in direction B), the pressure will be decreased.

ADJUSTING THE THREAD TAKE-UP STROKE

WARNING :
To protect against possible personal injury due to the abrupt start of the machine, be sure to start the following work after turning the power off and ascertaining that the motor is at rest.

1. When sewing heavy-weight materials, move thread guide 1 to the left (in direction A) to increase the length of thread pulled out by the thread take-up.
2. When sewing lightweight materials, move thread guide 1 to the right (in direction B) to decrease the length of thread pulled out by the thread take-up.
3. Normally, thread guide 1 is positioned in a way that marker line C is aligned with the center of the screw.

NEEDLE-TO-HOOK RELATIONSHIP

WARNING :
To protect against possible personal injury due to the abrupt start of the machine, be sure to start the following work after turning the power off and ascertaining that the motor is at rest.

1. Adjust the timing between the needle and the hook as follows :

2. Turn the handwheel to brighten the needle bar down to the lowest point of its stroke, and loosen set-screw 1.
   (Adjusting the needle bar height)

3. (For a DB needle) Align marker line A on needle bar 2 with the bottom end of needle bar lower bushing 3, then tighten setscrew 1.
   (For a DA needle) Align marker line C on needle bar 2 with the bottom end of needle bar lower bushing 3, then tighten setscrew 1.
   (Adjusting position of the hook a)

4. (For a DB needle) Loosen the three hook set-screws, turn the handwheel and align marker line B on ascending needle bar 2 with the bottom end of needle bar lower bushing 3.
   (For a DA needle) Loosen the three hook set-screws, turn the handwheel and align marker line D on ascending needle bar 2 with the bottom end of needle bar lower bushing 3.
