5. Bedienungsanleitung
5.1. Ein-/Ausschalten
Connect the machine's power cord to a grounded 110V AC outlet. Use the power switch on the servo motor to turn the machine ON or OFF.
5.2. Einfädeln der Maschine
Follow the threading path indicated on the machine head and in the detailed threading diagram (refer to the separate threading guide if provided). Ensure the thread passes through all tension discs, guides, and the needle eye correctly. Improper threading can lead to skipped stitches or thread breakage.
5.3. Aufwickeln der Spule
Place an empty bobbin onto the bobbin winder spindle. Guide the thread from the spool through the tension disc of the bobbin winder and then around the bobbin. Engage the bobbin winder mechanism and press the foot pedal lightly to wind the bobbin. Stop when the bobbin is full but not overfilled.
5.4. Einstellen der Stichlänge
The maximum stitch length is 5 mm. Adjust the stitch length dial located on the machine head to achieve the desired stitch length. A higher number typically indicates a longer stitch.
5.5. Adjusting Presser Foot Lift
The presser foot can be lifted by hand (max. 5.5 mm) or by using the knee lifter (max. 13 mm). Use the knee lifter for thicker materials or when you need both hands free to manipulate fabric.
5.6. Sewing Speed
The maximum sewing speed is 5,500 stitches per minute (spm). The electronic DC Servo Motor allows for precise speed control via the foot pedal. Press the pedal gently for slower speeds and more control, and press further for higher speeds.
5.7. Nadelauswahl
Use needles of size 9-18 (DBX1, 16x231) for general sewing. Needles up to size 19 can be used for heavier materials. Always use the correct needle type and size for your fabric to prevent damage to the needle, fabric, or machine.
6. Wartung
6.1. Schmierung
The Juki DDL-8700 features an auto-lubricating full rotary hook. Regularly check the oil level in the oil pan and replenish as needed with high-quality sewing machine oil. Ensure the oil is clean and free of debris.
6.2. Reinigung
Regularly clean lint and dust from the bobbin case area, feed dogs, and tension discs using a small brush or vacuum cleaner. Accumulation of lint can affect stitch quality and machine performance.
6.3. Nadelwechsel
Replace the needle frequently, especially if it becomes bent, dull, or if you notice skipped stitches. A worn needle can damage fabric and cause machine issues. Ensure the needle is inserted correctly with the flat side facing the back.
6.4. Riemenprüfung
Periodically inspect the V-belt for wear, cracks, or looseness. Replace the belt if it shows signs of damage or if it slips during operation.
