Disengaging a Sewing Head
1. Press the Stop button to stop the machine from sewing.
CAUTION! A sewing head must never be turned off while
the machine is sewing.
2.
Switch off the appropriate thread break switch. This will
cancel the thread break detection on this head.
3. Engage the head shut-off pin to prevent the needles from
moving up and down. Pull the pin forward.
NOTE: It is best to do a manual thread cut before
disengaging a head so that when it is restarted, the needle
does not become unthreaded.
Restarting a Sewing Head
1. Press the Stop button to stop the machine from sewing.
CAUTION! A sewing head must never be turned back on while the
machine is sewing.
2.
Move the thread break switch to the on position.
3. Disengage the head shut-off pin to release the needle. Move the pin to the back.
The red LED on the front of the sewing head will be lighted during sewing.
When a head is turned back on, it will begin to sew and its thread keep solenoid
will be released when the Start button is pressed to begin sewing again. If the other
heads were not sewing, and their thread keep solenoid clamps were activated, the
head that was just turned on will also have its thread keep solenoid clamp
activated.
NOTE: To prevent the active needle of a head that has been turned back
on from becoming unthreaded, you should hold on to the end of the thread
while pressing the Start button to resume sewing.
