ERROR MESSAGES
A-10
If the machine is not properly threaded and the “Start/Stop” button is pressed, or if the operation
procedure is incorrect, the machine may not start. An alarm sounds and an error message is displayed on
the LCD. If an error message displays, follow the instructions in the message.
Below is an explanation of error messages. Refer to these when necessary (if you press or do the
operation correctly while the error message is displayed, the message disappears).
Specifying with
sensor pen cannot be
done accurately The sensor pen has not been calibrated. Before using the sensor pen for the first time,
be sure to calibrate it. B-58
The pen is being held differently than when it
was calibrated. When using the sensor pen, be sure to hold it
at the same angle as when it was calibrated.
The specification location may be misaligned
if the pen is held at a slightly different angle.
In this case, make fine adjustments after
making the selection. B-58
CAUTION
• This machine is equipped with a thread detection device. If the “Start/Stop” button is pushed before the
upper threading has finished threading, the machine will not operate properly. Also, depending on the
pattern selected, the machine may feed the fabric even if the needle is raised. This is due to the needle bar
release mechanism. At these times, the machine will make a sound different from what is made during
normal sewing. This is not the sign of a malfunction.
• If the power is disconnected during sewing:
Turn the main power to OFF and unplug the machine.
If you restart the machine, follow the instructions for operating the machine correctly.
ERROR MESSAGES
CAUTION
• Be sure to rethread the machine. If you press the “Start/Stop” button without rethreading the machine,
the thread tension may be wrong or the needle may break and cause injury.
