CAUTION
Do

has
been

OS
instructed on
pages

and

SPEED
Maximum speed recommended is
5000
stitches per
minute,
with
these
exceptions
. . .
• Run a
new
machine
at
a
more
moderate
speed
the
first
few
days.
• A
machine
that
has
been
idle,
for
a long
period
of time, should be run slower
than
maximum
speed
for
the
first
few
minutes
to
allow
time
for
oil
to
reach
the moving ports. Check principal bearing points for
freedom
of
movement
and
adequate
lubrication be
fore
running
machine
at
top
speed.
• Reduce
speed
of machine
when
sewing closely
woven
or
treated
material.
Maximum efficient
speed
is
dependent
upon
the
nature of the operation, the ability of the
operator
and
the type of
thread
and
material in use.
Never force machine beyond its maximum efficient
speed for the work being accomplished. Disregard of
this precaution could result in considerable
damage
to
machine.
