6.Protectors for safety
This chapter describes each protector for safety. Therefore, read
and study the following carefully.
CAUTION
Protectors for safety
(1) Needle breakage shield
Never leave the needle breakage shield open.
For the safety of eyes, do not operate the machine with the needle
breakage shield open. The needle breakage shield will prevent
any pieces of the broken needle from getting into your eyes if the
needle should break during sewing.
(2) Finger deflector
Never insert any of your fingers.
To prevent the needle that moves up and down from contacting
any of your body, the finger deflector is installed close to the
needle.
However, there is clearance above the finger deflector for easy
threading. Be careful that the needle may penetrate any of your
fingers if you insert it into this clearance.
(3) Pulley cover
Never remove.
The machine pulley and V belt are covered with the pulley cover.
The machine pulley and the V belt rotate at high speed during
sewing. To prevent accidents, operate the machine with the pulley
cover installed in place.
(4) Pulley
Check the direction in which the machine pulley rotates.
It should rotate clockwise as seen from the pulley.
(5) Presser foot
Never insert any of your fingers.
There is a clearance of more than 5mm between the top surface of
the needle plate and the presser foot.
Be careful that none of your fingers are caught in this clearance.
Never insert any of your fingers under the presser foot when raising
the presser foot with the knee switch or automatically raising it with
the treadle.
