Correcti ve Measure(s)
• Turn the machine on by using the switch on the back power pod.
• Check that the power connector is securely plugged into the
back of the machine and the three-prong end is plugged into the
power source.
Correcti ve Measure(s)
• Make certain the fabric is not rolled too ti ght, causing the poles to
bow. Check that poles are inserted completely together with the
push pins engaged so bowing won't occur.
• If fabric is beginning to stretch or fray, contact Janome to
purchase replacement leaders. Do not wash the leaders.
Correcti ve Measure(s)
• Look for severe twisti ng of threads when approximately 12 to
15 inches has been pulled off , with the ends pinched together.
Cott on threads are parti cularly suscepti ble to dry rot or wet rot
which makes thread britt le. Do not use poor quality thread, or
thread that is rott ed or britt le.
• Balance the tension of the needle thread aft er ensuring the
bobbin tension is adjusted correctly. (For more informati on about
adjusti ng tension, see Bobbin and Bobbin Tension and Top Thread
Tension in the Using Your Machine secti on of this manual.)
• Check that the machine is threaded correctly.
• Inspect for accidental double wrapping of thread on
thread guides.
• Inspect the thread mast, making sure the eyelets of the mast are
directly over the spools.
• Inspect the verti cal positi oning of the thread cones. Tipped cones
can dramati cally aff ect thread tension and can cause breakage.
• Inspect for parti cles and remove any fuzz or debris.
