Quick Start
This "cheat sheet" is not a substitute for proper training and confidence in operating this very nice and expensive machine! If you're feeling unsure, ask for help! |
- Digitize your file - software magic process steps go here - and copy onto special USB 1.0 stick
- Set up your material/workpiece and backing on the appropriate hoop or fixture
- Insert stick into USB port at rear left side of machine
- Scan card on lockout device to power on Tajima
- Choose your frame type at "Frame:"
- flat: the various flat circular green frames
- cap: the round metal hat torture device
- "Initialize: On" allows the machine to home at calibrate, why would you ever turn this off?
- Load your file from USB stick by pressing the "Data" button and scrolling through the list
- "Color change:"
- auto: if you'd like the machine to just run your color order
- manual: if you need to change fabrics or positions between colors/operations
- Type in your color change order - note this is in hexadecimal so 1-9 then 10 is typed using the "+10" button then 0 and shows up as A, so 11 is "+10" then 1 and will show up as B, etc.
- Set the frame position by running a "Trace", it uses the needle/color shown on the bottom right corner
- Make super extra double sure that your "Trace" will not crash the machine into the frame, and that the design will end up where you want it on your workpiece
- Adjust the speed slider to the slower 1/3rd
- Press "Start"
Needle Replacement Procedure
- Loosen Flathead screw, remove worn or damaged needle
- When installing needle, vertical groove faces user, seat needle fully into holder.
- Ensure vertical groove still aligned before tightening
- Tighten flathead screw
- Rethread the needle
Changing a Spool
- Load on new spool
- Cut old spool.
- Tie end of old thread to new thread. Clip any extra and stray material so it does not get caught when you pull it through
- Pull the old thread from the needle side. The new thread will get pulled through the tubing and tensioners automagically
- Cut new thread and rethread the needle
Rethreading A needle
To cleaning cut a thread, put new thread under NO TENSION and cut at an angle. This makes the thread end a wedge and un-frayed which is far easier to thread through the eye of a needle
Thread needle front to back (away from user), raise thread end up and into spring to hold it there.
Bobbin
L-type bobbin, takes 80wt thread, threads clockwise out under spring and through metal eyelet, leave 2" tail. Observe lubing requirements before reinserting.
