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.

Adjustment ●Tension of wound thread Slack winding is recommended for polyester thread and nylon thread.
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.
