your hands or things under the needle.

3) The pedal is operated in the following four steps:

a. The machine runs at low sewing speed when you
lightly depress the front part of the pedal. 3
5 b. The machine runs at high sewing speed when
4 you further depress the front part of the pedal. 3
(If the automatic reverse feed stitching has been
3
preset, the machine runs at high speed after it com-
pletes reverse feed stitching.)
c. The machine stops (with its needle up or down)
when you reset the pedal to its original position.
d. The machine trims threads when you fully depress
the back part of the pedal. 5
* When the auto-lifer (AK device) is used, one more operating switch is provided between the sewing ma-
chine stop switch and thread trimming switch. The presser foot goes up when you lightly depress the
back part of the pedal 4, and if you further depress the back part 5, the thread trimmer is actuated.
When starting sewing from the state that the presser foot has been lifted with the Auto-lifter and you de-
press the back part of the pedal, the presser foot only comes down.
• If you reset the pedal to its neutral position during the automatic reverse feed stitching at seam start, the
machine stops after it completes the reverse feed stitching.
• The machine will perform normal thread trimming even if you depress the back part of the pedal immedi-
ately following high or low speed sewing.
• The machine will completely perform thread trimming even if you reset the pedal to its neutral position im-
mediately after the machine started thread trimming action.

 5. Production support function
The production support function consists of three different functions (six different modes) such as the production
volume management function, operation measuring function and bobbin counter function. Each of them has its
own production support effect. Select the appropriate function (mode) as required.
■ Production volume management function
Target No. of pcs. display mode [F100]
Target/actual No. of pcs difference display mode [F200]
The target number of pieces, actual number of pieces and the difference between the target and actual
number of pieces along with the operation time are displayed to notify the operators of a delay and advance
in real time. Sewing machine operators are allowed to engage sewing while constantly checking his/her
work pace. This helps raise target awareness, thereby increasing productivity. In addition, a delay in work
can be found at an early stage to enable early detection of problems and early implementation of corrective
measures.
■ Operation measuring function
Sewing machine availability rate display mode [F300]
Pitch time display mode [F400]
Average number of revolutions display mode [F500]
Sewing machine availability status is automatically measured and displayed on the control panel. The data
obtained can be used as basic data to perform process analyses, line arrangement and equipment efficien-
cy checkup.
■ Bobbin counter function
Bobbin counter display mode
In order to change bobbins before the current bobbin runs out of thread, the time for replacing the bobbin is
notified.
