WARNING
3.5 During operation
○ Be sure to operate the sewing machine using the
safeguards such as belt cover, finger guard, and eye
guard.
○ Never place your finger, hair or objects under the
needle or close to the moving parts while operating the
sewing machine.
○ Be sure to turn off the power supply switch when
threading or replacing the needles.
○ Never place your hands close to the knives (upper and
lower knives) when operating the sewing machine with
the trimming devices.
○ Be sure to turn off the power supply switch when
terminating the sewing work or leaving the sewing
machine.
○ In the event of the power failure, be sure to turn off
the power.
Also, if the sewing machine malfunctions, makes
abnormal sound or emits unusual odors while operating,
be sure to turn off the power supply switch.
○ While operating the machine, wear clothing that cannot
be caught in the machine.
○ Do not put any tools or other unnecessary objects on
the machine table while running the machine.
○ If a clutch motor type is used, it will continue
running for a while even after the power is turned off.
Therefore, be careful because the machine could start
running by pressing the machine pedal.
○ If a servomotor is used, the motor does not produce
noise while the machine is at rest. Be sure not to
forget to turn the power off in order to prevent
accidents caused by abrupt starting of the machine or
motor.
○ To prevent entanglement accidents in machines with a
puller mechanism, keep your hands, hair, and clothing
away from the machine.
WARNING
3.6 Maintenance, inspection and repair
○ Maintenance, inspection, and repair must be performed
by staff that have received special training and fully
understand and follow the information in the instruction
manual.
○ Be sure to turn off the power supply switch and make
sure the sewing machine and motor completely stop
before the maintenance, inspection, and repair. (If the
machine is using a clutch motor, take care that the
motor keeps turning for a while even after turning off
the power supply switch.)
○ Do not attempt to modify the machine at your own
discretion. We are not responsible for accidents caused
by such modification.
○ Use genuine Yamato parts when repairing the machine
and/or replacing the parts. We are not responsible for
accidents caused by any improper repair/adjustment
and substituting other parts for those manufactured by
Yamato.
○ Turn off the power supply switch if removing or
replacing any parts or during adjustment of the sewing
machine.
○ Be sure to also remove the gasket if the cover is
removed for maintenance, inspection, and repair. If the
gasket is not removed, the edge of gasket may cause
injury.
○ Do not pull the cord when removing the plug. Be sure
to hold the plug itself.
○ A high voltage is applied inside the control box. Turn
off the power supply switch and wait for at least five
minutes before opening the cover.
○ Be sure to replace the safety devices and/or safety
covers if removed for maintenance, inspection and
repair.
○ After performing maintenance, inspection and repair,
make sure that turning on the power does not pose any
danger to you.
When operating the machine for the first time after
work is performed, run at low speed to check for
abnormal sounds or other problems before performing
high-speed operation.
4. Recommended check points for maintaining
machine performance
(1) Perform regular cleaning of the machine parts by
following the instruction manual.
(2) Perform regular inspection of the lubrication oil by
following the instruction manual, and refill or replace
the oil as required.
(3) Because the oil-proof parts use rubber, their oil-proof
performance is reduced over time.
○ If the seals or other stationary parts fall off or begin
to lose their sealing performance, replace them with
new parts.
○ The replacement period for parts used in the
movable sections varies depending on the machine
operating conditions, environment, maintenance,
and oil used, but replacement every several years is
recommended.
(4) For details about the replacement procedure, please
contact your local dealer or Yamato.
