8-8. Applying grease (When "GREASEUP" appears)

If "GrE" and "AS.UP" flash on the PROGRAM No. display (1) and the menu display (2) respectively, and a buzzer sounds
when the power switch is turned on, it means that grease needs to be applied. (The sewing machine will not operate at this
time, even if the foot switch is depressed.)
Apply grease as required, while referring to the following for details.
<To continue sewing temporarily without applying grease>
1. Press the RESET key (3).
2. The PROGRAM No. display (1) and the menu display (2) will change to the normal displays, and sewing can be carried
out by depressing the foot switch.
Note:
• "GrE" and "AS.UP" will continue to be displayed each time the power is turned on until grease is applied and the
notification is reset by carrying out the procedure on page 62.
• If you continue to use the sewing machine after the "GrE" and "AS.UP" notification appears without applying grease
(or without carrying out the reset procedure), "E100" will appear after a certain period of time and the sewing
machine will be forcibly prevented from operating for safety reasons.
If this happens, apply grease and carry out the reset procedure.
* If you continue to use the sewing machine after carrying out the reset procedure but without applying grease,
problems with the sewing machine may result.

Periodically apply grease to the sliding parts of the work

NOTE:
After replacing the work clamp (1), be sure to apply
grease before using it.
* It is recommended that you use commercially-available
NIPPON OIL CORPORATION Powernoc WB 2 grease
for the work clamp (1).
