Chapter 6 Operation of Machine

The machine head whose MENDING lamp is lit performs embroidering by the preset number stitches. When it is completed, all the machine heads start normal embroidering operation.

• The MENDING lamps except for the machine head whose needle thread has been broken are turned off.

• At this time, the machine head, whose MENDING lamp is on, performs resewing from the step-back position while the other machine heads (with MENDING lamps off) are stopped. When resewing is completed, the other machine heads (except those halted or with bed retracted) also start embroidering.

■Manual operation

The mending start and end positions can be set for each machine head using the MENDING switch on the

tension plate.

The MENDING lamp is lit when the MENDING switch of each machine head is flipped up during standby. Resewing from the step-back position to this position can be executed.

* When the MENDING switch is flipped up while the MENDING lamp is off, the lamp is turned on; when the MENDING switch is flipped up again while the MENDING lamp is lit, the lamp is turned off.

Note) The mending end position cannot be set for each machine head.

When all MENDING lamps are turned on, the mending end position will be set to the position where one of the lamps is turned off first.

Note) To cancel the mending end position, turn all the MENDING lamps are turned on (except for halted machine heads) .
