Good Maintenance Practice
The procedures in this manual are guidelines for performing repair maintenance
and must be used by personnel practicing good maintenance and repair technique.
Good maintenance technique includes, but is not limited to, adhering to all
precautions and safety considerations when working on the unit, and using the
correct tools for the job being performed.
WARNING! Personal injury may result if proper precautions are
not observed. Remove rings, watches, and any other metallic
objects from hands and wrists before servicing the machine.
Remove metallic articles from shirt pockets to prevent them
from falling into the machine. Do not place hands under the
needle or needle bar. Do not allow loose clothing to come in
contact with moving parts of the machine. Under certain
conditions of machine failure the moving parts of the machine
may not be controllable by normal means. At these times the
machine may operate without notice.
Static Electricity
As with all computerized equipment, the EMT 10/4T Embroidery Peripheral is
sensitive to static electricity. Any time work is performed inside covered areas of the
embroidery peripheral, the person performing the work
MUST be using a static
grounding strap.
WARNING! Failure to use a grounding strap, or failure to
practice other good maintenance/repair techniques may cause
damage to the machine and possible harm to personnel.
Grounding Strap Use
A grounding strap must be connected properly to insure that static charge on the
person’s body is neutralized to the chassis ground level of the embroidery peripheral
when working in the electronic areas under the covers. Proper connection is at any
bare (unpainted) metal surface or any other surface (such as a ground screw head)
that is known to be an earth ground.
DO NOT attempt to use any grounding strap that is not specifically designed for
static use. A "straight-wire" grounding device (one without built-in resistance) will
place the operator in danger of exposure to dangerous voltages. It is recommended
that the static strap be checked during daily use for proper resistance protection.
Warranty Considerations
Many areas of maintenance in this manual require factory trained personnel to
assure proper service. Any service that is improperly performed may cause the
warranty to be voided.
