II. HOW TO OPERATE THE MACHINE
1. General instruction
After the machine has been set up, bring down the needle by rotating the handwheel with your
hand, switch on the machine on tril and check thatthe motor rotates in the correct direction by
watching the rotation ofthe handwheel. The handwheel must rotate counterclockwise watching
from the open side of the handwheel.
If you fail to judge it, you can repeat to switch on and off the machine until the direction is
found.
o Clean up the installed machine.
o Before starting to operate the machine, read through the separate INSTRUCTION BOOK of
DDL-555, DLN-415, DLU-450 or DLD-432.
o Do not drive themachine before theoilreservoir isfilled with thelubricating oil.
o Do not replace the motor pulley with a larger one within first 1month. You may operate the
machine at a higher speed depending on the necessity of sewing works and operator's ability
after the first 1 month has passed,
o Keep away from the needle dropping place when you switch the machine on.
o Do not fail to switch off the machine before you tilt the machine head backwards for lubrica
tion orclearing or removing theV-belt. (Ifyou mistakenly tread on thepedal, themotor pulley
will be stopped immediately by means of the built-in safety device in the caseof "HITACHI"
motor assembly.)
o When you move the machine to other places, to not hold it with the cover located on the rear
of the handwheel.
o Even if you tread on the pedal backwards (heel-down) immediatelyafter the machineis switch
ed on or the thread is trimmed, the needle would not come down or the thread trimmer would
not work. Such thread trimming motion is performed only after the pedalhasbeentrod once
forwards (toe-down).
2. Lubrication and amount of oil
Beforestarting to operate the machine, fillthe oilreservoir up to the "HIGH" markedlevel with
JUKI industrial lubricating oil. Refer to the corresponding paragraph in theseparate INSTRUC
TION BOOK.
3. Checking the pedal action
o Firstly, check your machine without passingthe threads.
o Switch on the machine, and theneedle will beheldat it's highest position withoutfail.
Even the needle staying at a lower position will be brought up andheld at thehighest position
by switching on the machine,
o When you switch on the machine, do not put your hand under the needle.
4. How to operate the pedal
As the following illustration shows, the pedalof thismodel isoperatedin4 stages.
(1) Placeyour feet gently on the pedal at the stop position.
(The needle is held at the lowest position).
(2) Tread on the pedal lightly forwards (toe-down), and the machine starts to rotate at a low
speed.
(3) Tread on the pedal further forwards (toe-down), and the machine will increase it's speed
gradually and attain the maximum speed when it has been trod down fully. However, when
the switch for the counter-back stitching is turned on, the machine will attain it's maximum
sewing speed only after the count-back stitch has been formed, even though you tread on
the pedal fully.

Stop (needle down)
Thread trimming
o You can obtain the normal performance of thread trimming by treading on the pedal back
wards (heel-down) directly from the high or low speed position,
o You can tread back the pedal to the neutral position immediately after the nachine has started
to perform the thread trimming action. The thread trimming action is automatically completed
and you do not need to keep the pedal at the thread trimming position any longer,
o When the machine stops, the needle will be held at the lower position.
o When you want to bring up the needle, tread on the pedal fully backwards (heel-down) once.
Then, the machine will perform a thread trimming action and will bring up the needle and hold
at it's highest position.
(Note)
In some cases, the machine with "MATSUSHITA" motor, does not start to run immediately after
a thread trimming action was made even though the pedal is trod forwards (toe-down). This is
simply because the machine is locked by the safety device built in tlic motor assembly. In such a
case, tread on the pedal back to the neutral position once and tread on it again forwards to drive
the machine.
In tlie case of the machine with "HITACHI" motor, such safety device is automatically released
after a thread trimming action has been completed.

automatically trim off the thread immedi
ately by treading on the pedal backwards
before or after forming the count-back
stitch at the start of a seam line. Even
though you tread on the pedal for thread
trimming while the count-back stitch is
being formed, the thread trimming action
will not be performed prior to the forma
tion of the said count-back stitch.
4) When the selector switch for "End" is
turned on, the thread trimming action will
be performed after the count-back stitch
has been formed at the end of a seam line.

2) Adjustment of the thread tension disc No.l
o
o The length of a thread remainingon the needle isshortened by increasingthe tension of the
disc No.1 and is lengthened by decreasing the said tension,
o Wlien you use a thin thread (like a synthetic thread), reduce the tension properly. On the
other hand, when you use a thick thread, increase the tension.
3) Adjustment of the thread tension disc No.2
o The method of adjustmentis same as that of normal lockstitchsewing machines,
o If you reduce the tension too much,it maycausea threadbreakage at the start of sewing.
9. Adjusting the lengthof thread remaining on the needleafter trimming
o The length of the thread remaining on the needle after the thread trimmer has worked is
closely related with the correct formation of stitches at the start of a seam line. You can
judge it from a floated needle thread or bobbin thread at the start of a seam line,
o You can adjust the length of remainingthread by means of the thread tension disc No.1.
o It is possible to change the timing of the thread trimming between the cotton andsynthetic
threads,if necessary. Please consult it with our agent or our mainbusinessoffice.

o Allow the thread spool to supply thread to the machine freely.
(If not, the length of the remaining thread on the needle after thread trimming may be too
short to stay on the needle.)
o If skipped stitches are produced, the thread trimmer may trim only the bobbin thread.
In such a case, adjust the timing of the needle and the shuttle race in order to remove such
skipping stitches.

5) Feed dog: If a feed dog which is common
ly used is adopted, there is no problem,
but if an extremely thick feed dog is used,
the backside of the dog teeth might be
.scratched when the moving knife moves
fully.
14. Adjusting the timing of the thread trimming cam
1) How to Judge the correct timing of the
trimming cam
In order to change the length of the thread
remaining at the needle eye after trimming,
adjust the timing of the thread trimming
cam. This can be done easily by matching
the arm
with the indicated line on the
hand
wheel,
according to
the
kind of
thread used-cotton or synthetic thread.
Tilt the machine, turn the hand wheel with
your hand until the thread take-up comes
Just before the upper dead point and if the
sewing hook presser (D is pushed deeply
to right, the cam roller will enter the cam
groove of the cam and will be interlocked
there. In that condition, rotate the hand
wheel
in
the
reverse direction than the
conventional way, and the hand wheel will
come to a point where it will not rotate
any more. At this point if cam timing is
matched so that the indicated line of the
arm ® and the indicated line of the hand
wheel (f) are matched together as shown
in the
fig., it becomes a cotton thread
timing. But if the indicating line 0
is
matched with the indicating line ®, it
becomes a timing for synthetic thread.

2) How to match the timing of the thread trimming cam
First, loosen the 2 set screws of the trimming cam in order from set screw No.l and No.2, and
match the indicating line of the arm with the indicating line of the hand wheel. (For cotton
thread, match red color ® with the red color (5) and for synthetic thread, red color ® with
the green color ®).
Then, by pushing the sewing hook presser @ to right, interlock the cam and the cam roller,
and without rotating the hook shaft, rotate the cam only toward the reverse direction than
the normal hook shaft rotational direction with your finger tips. At the position where the
cam does not rotate any more, push the cam against the thread trimming cam thrust collar
and finally tighten the cam set screws in the order of No.2 and No. I.
15. Adjusting the position of the moving knife
1) The correct position of the moving knife
when it has moved to its maximum range
is, as shown in fig., when the tip of the
moving knife has retreated to 2~2.5mm
(1/6-^3/32") from the center of the needle.
When the retreated range is less than this
position, it cannot scoop up the needle or
bobbin thread at the trimming instant,
while if it's too much, the feed dog and
the moving knife might hit each other.
Therefore, it is very important to match
the position of the moving knife correctly.

2) How to match the position of the moving
knife.
This is adjusted by changing tlie right or
left position of the moving knife shaft ®
when
the machine stops. By this adjust
ment, the interlocking of the cam and the
cam
roller
also changes, so match the
position of the thread trimming cam to
ward the shaft direction, also.
a.
First, loosen the magnet set screw (2)
and pull out the magnet link pin (3).
b. Move the magnet link ® downwards
and adjust the screwed-in amount of
the knife moving shaft adjusting nut
CD. If this nut is screwed in deep, the
retreating range of the knife becomes
greater and if it's loosened, the range
gets less.
c.
Loosen both set screws of trimming
cam ® and the thrust collar
d. Match the indicating line of the hand
wheel with the indicating line of the
arm.
(In case of cotton thread, match ®
with ®
of the front fig. and for
synthetic thread, match @ with ®).
e.
Rotate the set screw No.2® (indicated
point) of the trimming cam so that it
comes to front and when it comes to
front, push the sewing hook prcsser to
right.
f.
Move the cam to right and left and
interlock the cam and the cam roller.
g.
With
this condition, as you pull the
cam to right, move it toward the arrow
direction until the cam cannot rotate
anymore.
h. Temporarily tighten the set screw No.2
® of the cam.
i.
Tighten the lock nut ®.
j.
At this point, verify the following:
(T) Is the indicating line of the pulley
matched?
@ Is the roller inserted smoothly into
the cam groove?
® Is the retreated range of the moving
knife 2~2.5mm?
k. Tighten the two set screws of the cam
securely.

From the library of: Superior Sewing Machine & Supply LLC
Push the thrust collar against the cam and tighten the two set screws,
m. Attach the magnet link pin in its original position.
The simple method to judgethe correctpositionof the moving knifewould be to verify if the
step part of the bed and the forked base of the knife are parallel to each other. If they are
parallel, the position is correct
(Note)
1) No matter how slight the right or left position adjustment may be, it has a big
bearing on the retreating range of the movingknife.
2) Verify if the movingknife disposesthe thread properly as shown in fig.
16. The floating range of the second thread tension disc
1) How to verify the floating range
At
the position where the take-up has
come just before the upper dead point,
lower the presser foot and when the hook
thread presser is pushed hard to right,
verify that the floating range of the second
thread tension disc is 0.5~lmm.
2) Adjusting the floating range of the second
thread tension disc.
(T) To increase the floating range, loosen
nut (B) and tighten nut (§).
(D To decrease the floating range, loosen
nut © and tighten nut (g).
After the adjustment is completed, tighten
both ® and © nuts.
17. Changing the moving knife
To change the moving knife, do as follows:
1) Loosen the knife forked base pin set screw
(Fig.C ®) and pull out the knife forked
base pin (Fig.C d)).
2) Remove
the
moving
knife hinge screw
(Fig.A ®), move the knife forked base
(Fig.Ad)) and the moving knife (Fig.ACD)
to the
position shown in Fig.B (I)
and
remove the pin of the moving knife from
the knife forked ba.se.
3) Move the knife forked base to the position
shown in Fig.B©
and remove the knife

18. Adjusting the bobbin thread presser
If the bobbin thread presser (Fig.C (D ) is penetrating too deep toward the bobbin case at the
trimming time, the bobbin will not rotate and the bobbin thread will be trimmed too short,
causing thread slippage at the start of sewing.
On the contrary, if it is not inserted deep enough, theneedle thread will slip out from the tip of
the bobbin thread presser at the trimming time, shortening the thread remaining amount at the
tip of the needleeye after the trimmingand invitesthread slippingout.
1) The correct position of the bobbin thread presser
When the thread trimming lever is pressed hard against the stopper side, the bobbin thread
should be pulledout easily. At thisposition, the clearance between the tip (Bobbin presser) of
the bobbin thread pre.sser and the upper carved part of the bobbin should be 1.5~2mm as
shown in Fig,D.
2) How to adjust the bobbin tliread presser
Loosen the .screws (Fig.C ® ), and adjust by moving the bobbin thread presser in andout or
up ond down. At this instant, adjust the fore and aft position of the bobbin thread presserand
adjust the positionof the thread trimming stopperarmas shownin the figure.
After adjusting, tighten the set screw of the stopper. Besure to verify that the tip of the roller
shaft is not contacting the bottom of the cam groove when the stopperis deeplyinserted. If
it's contacting, refer to the chapter on"Adjustingthe slideshaft" and re-adjust the positionof
the slide shaft collar.

able height. Tighten the screw firmly after
adjustment.
3. Adjusting the reverse stitch length
An excessive length of reversestitch is usually
formed by the operator until he gets used to
operate this new device.
In such a case, it would be advisable to short
en the seam line with the reverse feed by
decreasing the stitch length of reverse feed in
comparison with the stitch length with the
normal feed, if it is permissible. To lessen the
length of the reverse stitch, loosen the screw
(D and push up the stopper plate (2). If you
push it down to the bottom end. the stitch
