- Page 5 2. Position the Melco Fast Clamp mounting bracket on the carriage of the machine. 3. Align the screw holes so that the Melco Fast Clamp is centered on the carriage. This will align with the third hole in from each end of the carriage.
- Page 6 Melco Fast Clamp Adjustment When attaching the Melco Fast Clamp onto the machine’s X Carriage for the first time, verification is required that the top surfaces of the Lower Clamp Arms are not located too high in relation to the Needle Plate. If the Clamp Arm Assemblies are set too high negative results related to embroidery quality can be expected due to flagging of the embroidery media during the embroidery process.
- Page 7 Upper Clamp Arm Height Adjustment The Upper Clamp Arm height adjustment is one of the most important features of the Melco Fast Clamp, and critical to proper clamping of the embroidery media and subsequent quality of the embroidery. 2. To begin with, always adjust the Upper Clamp Arm Thumb Screws (#1 in image below) counter clockwise to allow the Upper Clamp Arms to close onto the garment to be embroidered without applying any force.
- Page 8 If the OS displays the hoops in inches, go to Tools>Options>Measurement Units to change the Hoops to cm. CAUTION: If the wrong hoop size is chosen in the OS, damage to the Melco Fast Clamp or the machine can occur. This means that if the software setting and the width of the Clamp Arm Assemblies on the machine do not match, damage to the Melco Fast Clamp or the machine can occur.
