5. MAIN MOTOR CONTROL

The main motor for the sewing machine is required to smoothly change from low speed to high speed without any
fluctuations due to load or temperature changes. To fully comply with this requirement, the PE-300S adopts
PWM control using FET.

6. PATTERN GENERATOR
For conventional sewing machines of the past, the pattern was generated by rocking the needle bar and the feed
regulator by means of a pattern cam onto which the pattern data had been mechanically engraved. In contrast to
this, the PE-300S stores the data electronically in memory and uses a zigzag pulse motor to directly rock the
needle bar and the feed gear to generate the pattern. In addition, the pulse motors must move the position of the
needle while the needle is raised and stop it in the correct position (and similarly, they must move the position of
the feed gear while the needle is lowered) , thus highly-precise positioning and a fast response speed are
required. For this reason, PM feed and zigzag pulse motors were adopted, and a simple open-loop circuit
structure was employed.

7. OTHER ELECTRONIC COMPONENT FUNCTIONS

Start/stop switch .................................. Used to start and stop (SS) the machine. If you want to start sewing at low
speed, keep this switch depressed and start sewing.
Backstitch switch ................................. Used for backstitching and lockstitching. Backstitching is performed at low
speed in the reverse direction while the switch is pressed. For
lockstitching, three stitches are made at the current needle position and
then sewing stops.
Needle position (UP/DOWN) switch.... Used to change the needle position either up ro down.
Touch panel......................................... Used to select pattern and input test mode number required for sewing. by
This simply touching the display on the panel. This simplifies the operation
for selecting the desired pattern and number.
Buttonhole stitch switch ....................... Used to detect the edges of the buttonhole stitch by means of the
buttonhole stitch presser foot and lever.
Buttonhole stitch lever switch .............. Used to detect whether the buttonhole stitch lever is raised or lowered.
Rotation sensor ................................... Detects the vertical position of the needle and the drive timing of the
zigzag and feed pulse motors.
Detects the turning angle by means of a photointerrupter and shutter
installed on the vertical shaft.
Speed sensor ...................................... Used to detect the rotation speed of the main motor.
Detects the operating speed of the main motor by means of a
photointerrupter and shutter installed on the idle pulley.
Bobbin winder switch........................... Used to detect whether the bobbin winder has been set when windingthe
lower thread.
Junction foot controller ........................ When using the foot controller, connect it to this terminal.
Transformer......................................... Used for driving the pulse motors and solenoids, to illuminate the lamps
and to supply power to the electronic circuitry.
Lamp.................................................... is 12V 5W.

3. TENSION OF MOTOR BELT AND TIMING BELT

STANDARD
When gently pressing the center of the driving belt with a finger tip, there should be about 4-4.5mm of slack.
(Press using approximately 0.6N(60g) of force.)
When gently pressing the center of the timing belt with a fingertip, there should be 4-4.6mm of slack. (Press
using approximately 2N(200g) of force.)

ADJUSTMENT
• Motor belt
1. Loosen both screws on the motor holder.
2. Move the motor holder up and down, and adjust belt tension.
* Keep main motor level when carrying out adjustments.
3. Tighten both motor holder screws.

• Timing belt
1. Loosen Allen screw on tension pulley assembly.
2. Move tension pulley assembly forward and backward, and adjust belt tension.
3. Tighten Allen screw on tension pulley assembly

Adjustment Points
1 If motor belt tension is too tight, there would be too much torque, causing the motor to rotate slower and
generate an irregular noise.
2 If the motor belt tension is too loose, the belt may jump and the upper shaft may not rotate smoothly while
sewing on denim and other thicker fabrics or overlapping fabrics, the motor may not rotate smoothly, or
the upper shaft may not rotate.
3 If timing belt tension is too weak, the needle could jump when sewing heavyweight fabrics such as denim,
or when overlapping fabrics, or the closeness of the needle and rotary hook may err, making sewing
impossible.

18. NEEDLE THREADER

USING THE NEEDLE THREADER
There are a wide variety of different needles and sewing machine threads available. The right ones should be
selected in accordance with the sewing conditions. The accessory needle threader is designed to make threading of
needles easier, but it cannot handle every single circumstance of use (combinations of needle and thread) that
may occur. It can be used with some combinations but not with others, and if it can be used, the pattern may not
be sewn correctly due to the particular sewing conditions. Do not used the needle threader without gaining a
thorough understanding of how to use it, otherwise the needle threader may be damaged or needle threading
may not be possible. Be sure to read and understand the following so that you can handle customer complaints.

m
<Notes>
1. Needle threader can only be used with circled needle and thread combinations on following chart. Do not use
those combinations marked with an "X" when using needle threader.
2. Needle and thread combinations marked with an * on the following chart can be used, but are not

.co
recommended because they could lead to imperfect performance and possibly even breakage of needle
threader itself.
3. Lower presser foot when using needle threader.
4. Nylon transparent thread can be used with #14-16 sewing machine needles regardless of what is listed on
chart below.
5. Do not turn the balance wheel when using needle threader.
6. Do not lower needle threader lever when operating sewing machine. Doing so could break the needle
threader rendering it unusable, or result in needle breakage and possible injury.
es
7. If a #9 needle is used with the needle threader, the variation in needle precision may result in the needle
being slightly difficult to thread.
8. When using needle threader, tip of needle should be raised at least 10mm above top surface of needle plate
or threading might not occur.
9. Use a #11 needle when doing embroidery.

 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com

3. In case that, hook does not go through eyelet of some needles........ Needles through which the hook does
not go through are defective.

(Example for checking)

When you check five brand-new sewing needles HA130 (#9) on condition that it achieves first case, if the hook
does not go through eyelet of all of these needle, all five needles are defective and you judge the hook position is
not defective.

with each other as shown in the diagram below.
5. Readjust if not parallel.

* If positioning supporter and needle bar clamp are not parallel with each other:
The threading guide will not be held by the positioning supporter, so the lever will not move and thread the
needle even if needle threader lever is in lowest position. (figure 1) If this is the case, loosen positioning
supporter screw, move the positioning supporter slightly to the left to make it parallel.
Furthermore, if positioning supporter is turned to far to the left so that it is not parallel, positioning supporter
may come into contact with the threading guide and could result in damage to the needle threader, or could
even have a negative impact on other parts around the needle bar which could lead to possible damage to
the sewing machine itself. (figure 2) If no parts have been damaged, loosen positioning supporter screw, and
move positioning supporter slightly to the right to make it parallel.
