Detailed Explanation Of Selection Of Functions - JUKI DDL-8700 Instruction Manual

5. Detailed explanation of selection of functions

1 Selection of the soft-start function (Function setting No. 1)
The needle thread may fail to interlace with the bobbin thread at the start of sewing when the stitching pitch
(stitch length) is small or a thick needle is used. To solve such problem, this function (called "soft-start") is
used to limit the sewing speed, thereby assuring successful formation of the starting stitches.
1
The sewing speed limited by the soft-start function can be changed. (Function setting No. 37)
3 7 8 0
2 Material end sensor (ED : optional) function (Function setting No. 2 to 4)
This function is possible when the material end sensor (ED) is attached.
As for the details, refer to the instruction manual for the material end sensor.
(Caution) Setting will be invalid when the material end sensor is not attached, or CP-160 is connected.
3 Flicker reducing function (Function setting No. 5)
The function reduces flickering of the hand lamp at the start of sewing. The higher the set value increases,
the more effective the function will work.
5
(Caution) The more effective the flicker reducing function works (the more the set value is made),
the lower the start-up speed of the sewing machine will become.
4 Bobbin thread counting function (Function setting No. 6)
When the control panel (CP-160) is used, the function subtracts from the predetermined value and indicates
the used amount of bobbin thread.
For the details, refer to the instruction manual for the control panel.
(Caution) If "0" is set, the LCD indication on the control panel will go out and the bobbin thread
counting function will be invalid.
5 Thread trimming prohibiting function (Function setting No. 9)
This function turns OFF thread trimming solenoid output and wiper solenoid output when thread trimming is
actuated. [If the control panel (CP-160) is used with the sewing machine, this function will work in accordance
with the function setting on the control panel.]
By this function, separate sewing material can be spliced and sewn without trimming thread.
