1. CAUTIONS ON MACHINE OPERATION(1) Make sure the power switch is OFF before turning the main shaft manually (for

example to perform adjustments).(2) Be particularly careful when starting the machine, as moving parts will start oper-

ating immediately when the bar switch is pushed or the START button is pressed.(3) Never touch moving parts (needles, frame, rotary hooks, shafts, pulleys, belts,

etc.) while the machine is running.(4) Do not remove the covers of the shafts, pulleys, belts, etc. while the machine is

running. Do not operate the machine while the covers are removed.(5) Keep bobbins, needles, tools, etc., out of the grooves in the machine table.(6) Make sure the main power switch is OFF before opening the power supply boxor any other electrical box. Do not turn the power switch ON while any of these

boxes are open.(7) Always use TAJIMAauthorized replacement parts.

2. FEATURES AND ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS Features(1) MULTIPLEX MEMORY

The memory can accommodate up to 99 designs.(2) MIRROR IMAGE CONVERSION (COORDINATE CHANGE)

Any of sixteen design orientations, achieved through combinations of rotation (in45 increments) and reflection in the vertical and horizontal axes, can be se-lected in a simple key operation.(3) SCALE UP/DOWN FUNCTION

It is possible to reduce or enlarge embroidery designs in the range 50% to 200%in increments of 1%.(4) AUTOMATIC NEEDLE BAR SELECTION

A sequence of up to 99 needle bar selections can be set.(5) AUTOMATIC REPEAT OPERATION

Up to 81 design repetitions can be set.(6) AUTOMATIC OFFSET

The frame can be automatically retumed to an offset point when embroidery finishesto make it easier to perform operations such as changing the frame. It is also pos-sible to preset an offset code in the EDIT mode so that the frame will automaticallymove toward the operator at the appropriate point during embroidery to make it easi-er to place applique fabrics ("automatic free-settingoffsef' function).

(7) MANUAL OFFSETThe frame can be manually moved toward the operator for easier placement ofapplique fabrics, thread trimming, etc., during an embroidery operation. After-wards, the frame can be returned to its former position, and operation resumed,by a simple key operation.

(8) ORIGIN RETURNThe frame can be returned to the design start point during embroidery operation.If the design start. point does not coincide with the design end point, the framecan be either manually or automatically returned to the design start point aftercompleting the design.

(9) FRAME FORWARDThe frame can be moved in the stitching direction without stitching.

(10) FRAME BACKWhen the thread breaks or runs out, the frame can be moved back to the originof the design in the memory operation or up to 350 stitches in the tape operationto allow repair of the design.

(11) INDEPENDENT HEAD OPERATIONThe head at which a thread has broken can be operated independently while therest of the heads remain idle.

(12) STOP FACTOR DISPLAY(13) R.P.M. DISPLAY(14) MAIN SHAFT SPEED SETTING

It is possible to set the high speed and low speed independently.(15) REMAINING MEMORY DISPLAY

The available memory capacity in terms of number of stitches is displayed.(16) COMPATIBILITY WITH BOTH TERNARY AND BINARY TAPE CODES(17) EDIT MODE

Stitch data and function codes (lump, stop, ATH, offset and high/low speeds) canbe erased, modified, or inserted.(18) AUTOMATIC THREAD TRIMMING & HOLDING DEVICE (ATH)

The ATH device can be operated automatically by commands in the design tape,improving the quality of finished products as well as productivity. Manual ATH op-erations are also possible at any point in the design, regardless of tape contents.(19) NETWORK CONNECTION

System software to allow connection to the NW-II (TAJIMA Two-Way NetworkSystem) is provided as a standard feature. This feature makes a network systemeasily introduced.

4. DESCRIPTION OF THE TENSION BASE SWITCH ANDTHREAD BREAKAGE INDICATOR LAMP

Thread breakageindicator lamp

Tension base switches During normal operation, leave the toggle switch at the middle position. When the machine has stopped due to detection of a thread break, use the frameback function to return the frame to the point at which the thread break occurredand restart the machine to mend the design. Only the head whose thread brokewill operate. After the mending stitches are finished, embroidering will start with allheads from the preset all-head sewing start point. If the "selection to stop / not tostop atthe all-head sewing start point" (see page 51) has been made for "ON: Stop",the machine will stop at the set point (display: :d: ).Restart the machine to startembroidering.

SUPPLEMENT: To resume operation from a point reached using the frame backfunction (regardless of whether thread breakage has been detectedor not), fl ick the toggle switch to the upper position (on release, itwillbe returned to the middle position by a return spring).

To lock the needle bars at a particular head to prevent it from performing embroi-dery, flick the toggle switch at that head to the lower position .

Thread breakage indicator lamp This lamp lights when an upper thread breakage is detected.SUPPLEMENT: This lamp will flash when an under thread breakage is detected by

an optional under thread breakage detector (UTC).
