CAUTION
Environmental requirements
Use the sewing machine in an area which is free
from sources of strong electrical noise such as
electrical line noise or static electric noise.
Sources of strong electrical noise may cause
problems with correct operation.
Any fluctuations in the power supply voltage
should be within
10% of the rated voltage for the
machine.
Voltage fluctuations which are greater than this
may cause problems with correct operation.
The power supply capacity should be greater than
the requirements for the sewing machine's power
consumption.
Insufficient power supply capacity may cause
problems with correct operation.
The ambient temperature should be within the
range of 5
C to 35
C during use.
Temperatures which are lower or higher than this
may cause problems with correct operation.
The relative humidity should be within the range of
45% to 85% during use, and no dew formation

6-8. ADJUSTING THE ROTARY HOOK LUBRICATION AMOUNT
CAUTION
Be careful not to touch your fingers or the lubrication amount check sheet against moving parts such as the rotary
hook or the feed mechanism when checking the amount of oil supplied to the rotary hook. If care is not taken, injury
may result.
Use the following procedure to check the amount of oil being supplied to the rotary hook when replacing the rotary hook or
when changing the sewing speed.
<Checking the lubrication amount>
1. Remove the thread from all points from the thread take-up
lever to the needle.
2. Use the lifting lever to lift the presser foot.
3. Run the machine at the normal sewing speed for
approximately 1 minute without sewing any material
(following the same start/stop pattern as when actually
sewing).
4. Place the lubrication amount check sheet (1) to the left of
the rotary hook (2) and hold it there. Then run the sewing
machine at the normal sewing speed for 8 seconds.
(Any type of paper can be used as the lubrication amount
check sheet (1).)
5. Check the amount of oil which has spattered onto the
sheet.
If adjustment is necessary, carry out the following operations
in "Adjusting the lubrication amount".
<Adjusting the lubrication amount>
1. Tilt back the machine head.
2. Turn the rotary hook adjusting screw (3) to adjust the
lubrication amount.
If the rotary hook adjusting screw (3) is turned
clockwise, the lubrication amount becomes greater.
If the rotary hook adjusting screw (3) is turned
counterclockwise, the lubrication amount becomes
smaller.
3. Check the lubrication amount again according to the
procedure given in "Checking the lubrication amount"
above.
NOTE:
Turn the rotary hook adjusting screw (3) and check the
lubrication amount repeatedly until the lubrication amount
is correct.
4. Check the lubrication amount again after the sewing
machine has been used for approximately two hours.
