Warning and caution

1. Warning
! WARNING
To prevent accidents resulting in injury or death and property damage, the following items must be observed
strictly when operating the machine.
[Before Starting the Machine]
This machine is designed for industrial use. Use this machine for semi- or finished textile products and
similar materials.
Do not use this machine for other purposes in principle.
Use this machine under the environment where access can be supervised so that unauthorized person
does not operate the machine. Supervise children so that they do not access to the machine.
Only the persons who are sufficiently trained for the operation must operate the machine.
The rear of the machine is not a working area. If you have to move to the rear of the machine, make sure
to turn off the main switch.
Do not stand on the machine. Using the bar switch as a grip to support yourself is strictly prohibited.
Please read this book thoroughly and understand the contents of
operation certainly. Then, operate the machine.

Wear proper clothes and tidy up yourself so that you can smoothly
perform the operation.
A single operator should operate the machine in principle. If plural
operators are working together, make sure that no one is working
near the moving units of the machine before starting the machine.
After threading and/or adjusting the machine, lift up and fix the sub
table securely (Some models only).
Do not damage, modify or heat the power or other cables. Do not exert undue force to them, either.
Otherwise the cables will be damaged causing fire and electric shock.
Insert the power cable plug fully. If a metallic part touches a blade in the plug, it may cause fire and/or
electric shock.
[During the Machine Operation]
Do not use a device such as a cellular phone that generates microwave near the control circuits of the
power supply box, the operation panel box, etc. Microwave may cause malfunctioning of the machine.
Do not detach covers of shaft, pulley etc. Do not operate the machine with covers detached.

NV06

Chapter 1

Warning and caution


1

! WARNING

Do not have your hands, etc. access to the vicinity of needle during
operation. Sticking of needle could injure you.

3
During operation, do not access your hands and/or face to moving
sections. Especially, it is dangerous around needle, rotary hook,
take-up lever, pulley and speed-reduction box.

4
[Others]
Keep away electrical units from water and chemicals. Entry or splashing of them into control units leads
to short circuits, causing fire, electric shock and other troubles. If water or other chemicals enter the unit,
shut off the power at the primary power source of the machine and contact your local distributor.
Stop the machine before carrying out work near the needles such as threading the needle and checking
the finish of embroidery.

Turn off the primary power source before opening the electrical boxes. Be sure to turn off the power
switch of the machine before turning off the primary power source. If not, it may cause electric shock.

2. Caution
! CAUTION
For using the machine for a long time, use the machine with about 70% of the maximum speed as
operation for total fitting for about two weeks after installing this machine. By performing operation for
total fitting, life of the machine will become longer, which will be useful to avoid unexpected troubles.

Do not use bent needles or needles that are not suitable for the material. Be sure to turn OFF the power
switch after working, and turn OFF the primary power supply.
Do not put things on the table.

10

[About connection of power cord]


In addition to full-time leak current, leak electric current generated by harmonics and surge flows in the power
cable of the machine. For this reason, if selection and installation of breaker of leak current and leak current
relay used for the factory are not correct, malfunctioning of the machine may occur. Regarding connection of
power cord, observe the following items.
Use a breaker of electric current leakage and leak current relay for which measures are taken against
harmonics and surge. If such a breaker and a relay are not available, select conventional breaker and
relay with sufficient leak current capacity to absorb leak current caused by harmonics and surge. (In this
case, constant leak current must be controlled satisfactorily.)
Regarding capacity of electric current leakage for breaker of electric current leakage and leak current
relay per machine, please consult your local TAJIMA distributor.
For actual product names of breaker of electric current leakage and leak current relay for which
measures are taken against harmonics and surge, please consult your local TAJIMA distributor or electric
engineers.
To prevent the machine from property damages, one embroidery machine should be connected to one no
fuse breaker. Property damages include a drop of output of the main shaft motor, etc., stop position error
and color change error caused by the stop position error, design displacement, etc.

Warning and caution

! CAUTION
[About installation environment]
Prevent the operation noise in the environment.
This machine is designed to reduce noise during operation. To improve the
sound insulation performance in a factory still more, use the interior finish
materials which show high sound insulating performance for the walls,
ceiling, and floor of the factory.
Install the machine on a sturdy floor.
The floor structure must be strong enough to bear the machine weight
(indicated on the spec. plate).

Avoid dust and moisture.


Since dust and moisture lead to dirt and rust on the machine, use the
machine in an environment of facility of air conditioner, and clean the
working place periodically. Use caution not to expose the machine to direct
wind from the air conditioner so that embroidery threads do not become
disheveled.
Humidity: 30 to 95%RH (relative humidity) without condensation
Ambient temperature: 5 to 40C (during operation), -10 to 60C (during
storage)
Avoid direct sunlight.
If the machine is exposed to direct sunlight over an extended period of
time, the machine body may be discolored or deformed. Put curtains or
shades to the site to prevent the machine from direct sunlight.

Provide enough space for maintenance.


Taking account of workability when maintaining and inspecting the
machine, provide 50 cm or more working area to right, left and rear
directions of the machine against obstacles such as walls.

! CAUTION
Do not wind material to bobbin too much. Winding material to bobbin too much will cause the bobbin not
to rotate smoothly due to overweight. That could result in trouble to embroidery.
Take 100 g or less as a rough standard for weight of one piece of
bobbin (weight of bobbin and material). In case of double bobbin,
adjust winding amount of material so that total weight of two
pieces of bobbin becomes 200 g or less.

An example of winding amount

In case of small bobbin (coiling), set bobbin weight to 50 g or less.


When overload occurs in rotation of bobbin, code No.347 will be

Zigzag swing 4 (Z4)
When selecting this pattern using data of regular running stitch, zigzag swing lever
will swing right and left by one stitch.

Zigzag swing 5 (Z5)


It needs X and Y data that proceed zigzag. Zigzag swing lever swings to the same
direction against zigzag proceeding of the frame. It is suitable for treating thick cord.

Zigzag swing 6 (Z6)


When selecting this pattern using data of regular running stitch, needle will be located
three times at the same point, and zigzag swing lever will swing back and forth one
time. Two pieces of upper thread will be sewn at right angles to direction of
movement.

Zigzag swing 7 (Z7)


It needs mixed data of zigzag and direct run. Zigzag swing lever swings to the same
direction at zigzag proceeding part of the embroidery frame. When setting
embroidery frame moving amount at part b to 0, finishing of sewing will become
the same as zigzag swing 6. Since the embroidery frame proceeds zigzag, it is
possible to apply also to thick cord.

Zigzag swing 8 (Z8)


When selecting this pattern using data of regular running stitch, needle will be located
two times at the same point and swing lever will move once at every two stitches.
One piece of upper thread will be sewn at right angles to direction of movement.

Zigzag swing 9 (Z9)


When selecting this pattern using data of regular running stitch, needle will be located
twice at the same point at first and be advanced by data to be located once next, and
be further advanced by data to be located twice again. One piece of upper thread will
be sewn at the right angles to direction of movement. When using the same design
data as zigzag swing 8, pitch will become double.
