XECUTE THE REGULAR CHECK We are surely recommended execute the regular inspection more than once per year for confirm the performance and activates safely of the machine. Also please execute to replace the CAUTION consumption articles when limit the life time has come. CONSUMPTION ARTICLES ARE MUST BE USE GENUINE PARTS We surely recommends to use our genuine parts when replace...
INSTALLATION OF THE MACHINE INSTALLATION OF THE MACHINE Place the Machine on a proper level surface. It is a great impact on the action and life time of the Machine whether it is ensured to be leveled. For a place where the Machine is positioned, choose a secure floor that can withstand it’s weight.
ELECTRIC WORK Power source is 3-phase, 200V, 30amps, 50/ 60Hz. It has 4 lines, one of which is ground wire (green co lour). When fitting a suitable plug to the AC line cord, it is essential that it contains an earth/ground contact and that must be connected.
Page 9
AIR PLUMBING This machine will be needed to work that the power is more than 1 horse power (0.75 Kw) compressor. Please use it well enough power even if the power is more than 1 horse power if it’s to operate complex of the machine at the same time. Please use the inner size of the pipe is bigger than 8mm for the air plumbing in case if it’s use under 8mm it may result of reduce the pressure momentary and influence the function of the machine incorrectly and finish condition as well.

TRIAL OPERATION OF THE MACHINE After install the machine, upon confirm connect for the steam, electricity and the air activate trial operation. 1. Open the machine ・ Get rid of the vinyl cover and lapping paper. ・ Get rid of the rectangular timber where fixed the back iron for the body press and left arm. ・...
PERIODIC CHECK DAILY PRE-USE CHECK Do not use the machine if all the safety devices and stop buttons are does not work normally. Check this matters everyday before use this machine. WARNING Air filter for moisture and oil contents can automatically discharge such impurities with drain when drains are accumulates.
Page 12
Efficiency of the filter for the air will be decrease by time passed by so that the volume of the passes the air will be decreased naturally. We are surely recommended to replace it as regulated condition. NOTE...

③HEAT (Timer for hot-air come) You can set the timing for hot air comes into the sleeves. When you press cuffs setting button that the timer starts counts and passes the previously sat the time hot-air blowing comes into the sleeves. REMARK: -The longer set the time, the later timing for the hot air blowing comes.
Page 15
➉ to ⑪ TIME ALTERATION BUTTON Please refer “SET THE TIMER” paragraph. ⑫ TIME INDICATION WINDOW Indicate remaining time if you are in the finishing process, without this process will indicate the setting time. If the timer became out of order it will be shown “ERROR MARK” in the window.

⑦STOP BUTTON (RED) Push this button effects to return the status of released the press and stop the other function. When you re-start to work the machine press this button more than three seconds each device will be returned to the origin point. ⑧SAFETY GUARD Safety guard device is installed where at in front of the tuck press iron and side of trunk iron if this device start to work it is the same function of press the stop button.
HOW TO OPERATE FINISH PROCESS (Long Sleeves) 1. FASTEN THE SHIRT Put the shirt to the dummy from left side back around the dummy. 2. SET THE SHOULDER Set the shirt to the dummy to make equal to the seam line of the shirt. 3.
Page 19
4. SET THE BACK OF THE SHIRT Pull down the bottom of the shirt lightly to not appear any of slack wrinkles. 5. SET THE FRONT BOTTOM PART Spread the bottom of a shirt for appropriate condition to the dummy. 6.
Page 20
8. SMOOTH OUT OF SMALL WRINKLE It may appear little wrinkle where the part of pocket. shoulder, and the side so prior to finish apply appropriate stroke or pull the shirt. 9. MOVE THE DUMMY When you finished process number 8, press START buttons at the same time by both hand that the dummy will move to the right side.
Page 21
12. SET THE CUFF Insert the cuff tip part approximately 2 to 3 cm and pay attention to insert cuff deeply it may cause to remain impressed part. 13. START FINISH WORK Press the START buttons by the each hand at the same time then start finish work.

SHORT-SLEEVED SHIRTS FINISH WORK 1. to 10. FASTEN SHORT-SLEEVED SHIRT Put the short-sleeve shirt onto the trunk as same way from the numbers 1 to 9 of the long-sleeved shirts. 11. T-SHIRT CRAMP DEVICE Pull out the cramp in front of you. 12.
Page 23
13. START FINISH WORK Press the both of START button at the same time and start finish work. 14. EXPAND THE SLEEVE Pulling the sleeve with hot air blowing and complete the arm part. As for the T-shirts finish process does not activates the press device for sleeve.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE When the maintain for this machine, evacuate steam and air, disconnect electricity, and wait until all steam-heated sections have been cooled. ●High risk for unexpected accident and electric shock may WARNING happen.

Contact less switches Outline When the piston comes under the contact less switch, it switches on and the lamp lights on. The machine confirms the position of the cylinder in this way. “The contact less switch does not work." This happens in almost all cases when the position where the piston stops has changed. Check the cause of it and correct it.
