- Page 2 INTRODUCTION Thank you very much for purchasing Mitsubishi industrial sewing machine. Please read this instruction manual before operating the sewing machine. Please read also “Safety Manual” , “Instruction manual for Mitsubishi Limiservo X” and operate the sewing machine correctly and safely. PRECAUTION BEFORE STARTING OPERATION Safety Precautions 1 . When turning the power on, keep your hands and fingers away from the area around/ under the needle and the area around the pulley. 2 . The power must be turned off when the machine is not used, or when the operator leaves his/her seat. 3 . The power must be turned off before tilting the machine head, installing or removing the “V” belt, adjusting the machine, or replacing parts. 4 . Avoid placing fingers, hairs, obstacles, etc. near the pulley, “V” belt, bobbin winder wheel, or motor when the machine is in operation. Injury could result. 5 . Don’t put fingers into the thread take-up lever cover, around/under the needle, or pulley when the machine is in operation. 6 . If the belt cover, the finger guard, and/or the eye guard are installed, don’t operate the machine without these safety devices.

HOW TO USE 3 Selection of the thread It is recommended to use “S” twist thread in the left needle (viewed S twist thread from front), and “Z” twist thread in the right needle. When discriminate use of needle threads is impossible, use “Z” twist thread in both the needles. Z twist thread For bobbin thread, “S” twist thread as well as “Z” twist thread can be used. 4 Threading of needle threads 1 . Pass each needle thread through thread guide (A). Note: When thin slippery thread (polyester thread or filament thread, etc.) is used, Pass the thread through thread guide (B) as well. 2 . With the thread take-up lever located at the upper most position, pass each needle thread in the order shown in the following figure. - Page 9 HOW TO USE 3 . If the strong twisted thread (nylon or Tetron, etc.) is used and needle threads tension is strong (about 500gf or more), the right thread may be released from the thread tension disc. In this case, thread only the right thread as shown in the figure (keep the left thread standard). Needle thread (right) — 6 —...
