BEFORE OPERATION CAUTION : Check the following so as to prevent maloperation of and damage to the machine. • Before you put the machine into operation for the first time after the set-up, clean it thoroughly. Remove all dust gathering during transportation and oil it well. • Confirm that voltage has been correctly set. Confirm that the power plug has been properly connected to the power supply. • Never use the machine in the state where the voltage type is different from the designated one. • The direction of normal rotation of the machine is counterclockwise as observed from the pulley side. Take care not to allow the machine to rotate in the reverse direction. • Never operate the machine unless the machine head and the oil tank have been filled with oil. • For a test run, remove the bobbin and the needle thread. • For the first month, decrease the sewing speed and run the sewing machine at a speed of 80% or less of the maximum sewing speed. As to the maximum sewing speed, see "25. SEWING SPEED TABLE" p.24. • Operate the handwheel after the machine has totally stopped.

29. NORMAL-/REVERSE-FEED STITCH NEEDLE ENTRY POINTS ALIGNMENT AT THE TIME OF AUTOMATIC REVERSE FEED STITCHING (LU-2810-7, LU-2860-7) When the sewing speed or stitch pitch is changed, the normal- and reverse-feed stitch needle entry points may not be aligned at the time of automatic reverse feed stitching. In such a case, correct the alignment of needle entry points by changing the ON/OFF timing of the automatic reverse feed cylinder. If it is difficult to correct the timing of the automatic reverse feed cylinder because of the large stitch pitch, it is recommended to decrease the reverse feed stitching speed. Refer to "III-8. Detailed explanation of selection of functions ⑯ Compensation of timing of the solenoid for reverse feed stitching" in the Instruction Manual for the SC-922 for detail. Normal- and reverse-feed stitches may need to be adjusted according to the stitch pitch to be used. Refer to the Engineer's Manual for how to adjust the stitches. 1) How to align needle entry points of the reverse feed stitching with those of the normal feed stitching Carry out "correction of the timing of the reverse feed stitching" according to the difference between the needle entry points of the reverse feed stitching and those of the normal feed stitching. Refer to "III-6. Setting the SC-922 functions" in the Instruction Manual for the SC-922 for how to carry out the "correction of the timing of the reverse feed stitching". ① ON-timing of the reverse feed Sewing starting position stitching at the beginning of sewing (Function setting No. 51) Stitch length...
