Caution
●This machine is equipped with a thread breakage sensor. Accordingly, if the upper thread is not threaded, the machine will not operate even if the “START/STOP” button is pressed.
In addition, a loud noise which is different from the normal operation noise is generated by the needle bar holding mechanism during layout changes, layout change tests and also when the embroidery frame travels a lot during embroidery. This sound is normal and is not the result of a malfunction.
●If the power goes off during embroidering:
●Turn the power off and unplug the machine. Damage may occur if the machine is on when the power comes back on.
●To start again, while the main power switch is off, plug the unit in. Then turn the main power switch on and select an operation. Refer to page 54, using the “HELP” function to get back to the point where the machine went off.
