Care and Maintenance 8-1

CLEANING THE MACHINE

CAUTION Be sure to unplug the machine before cleaning it. Otherwise, electric shock or injury may result.

Cleaning the LCD Screen If the screen is dirty, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use organic solvents or detergents.

Cleaning the Machine Casing If the surface of the machine is dirty, lightly soak a cloth in a neutral detergent, squeeze it out firmly and then wipe the surface. Then wipe again with a dry cloth.

Cleaning the Race and Shuttle If dust or bits of dirt collect in the race or shuttle, the machine will not run well, and the bobbin thread detection function may not operate. Keep the machine clean for best results.

1. Turn off the power. Remove the presser foot holder and the needle.

2. Loosen the screws with the disc-shaped screwdriver and remove the needle plate. ① Needle plate

3. Turn the balance wheel, and align the notch of shuttle a little to the left of the shelf of race, as shown.

CAUTION Be sure to turn the balance wheel towards the front of the machine. Turning the balance wheel in the other direction may damage the machine.

① Notch of shuttle ② Shelf of race

8-2 Care and Maintenance

4. Remove the race.

• While pushing the race towards the back of the machine, lift the edge nearest you and remove the race. ① Race

5. Remove accumulated lint and thread from the inner shuttle and race with a brush or vacuum cleaner.

• Do not oil the shuttle or the race. ① Shuttle Brush

6. Check that the notch on the shuttle is in the same position as when you removed the race. Position the race so that the shelf and spring are aligned, and insert the race.

CAUTION

• Do not use a damaged race or shuttle. Otherwise, the thread may tangle and cause a poor finish, or the needle may break. You can get the proper parts from your authorized dealer.
• Be sure to insert the race in the correct position. Otherwise, the needle may break.

① Shelf ② Spring

7. Reattach the needle plate.

CLEANING THE FLOPPY DISK DRIVE HEADS

If the heads of the floppy disk drive become dirty, the data on the disks may not be read normally. We suggest that you use a cleaning disk for 3.5 inch floppy disk drives regularly.

1. Insert the cleaning disk when the screen at left is displayed.
   • If a different screen is displayed, press Embroidery to display the screen at left.
   • Insert the cleaning disk into the floppy disk drive, located on the right side of the machine. Be sure to follow the directions given on the cleaning disk package.

2. Press [icon of two floppy disks]. Head cleaning will begin.

3. When cleaning is finished, the screen at left will display.

4. Press CLOSE. When the screen display returns to the display in step one, remove the cleaning disk.

Note If the floppy disk still can not be read correctly after finishing the steps above, repeat the cleaning operation several times.

CAUTION

• This machine is equipped with a thread detection device. If the "Start/Stop" button is pushed before the upper threading is done, the machine will not operate properly. Also, depending on the pattern selected, the machine may feed the fabric even if the needle is raised. This is due to the needle bar release mechanism. At these times, the machine will make a sound different from that made during normal sewing. This is not the sign of a malfunction.
• If the power is disconnected during sewing:
  • Turn off the main power switch and unplug the machine.
  • If you restart the machine, follow the instructions for operating the machine correctly.
