Key Features:
- Brushless design for quiet operation and extended lifespan.
- Energy-efficient, reducing electricity consumption by up to 70%.
- Variable speed control from 200 RPM to 4500 RPM.
- Integrated control panel for easy adjustments.
- Separate power switch for convenient access.
Setup
1. Mounting the Motor
The motor unit is designed to mount directly to your industrial sewing machine table. Ensure the mounting holes on the motor's base align with the existing holes on your table. Use the provided mounting bolts and rubber vibration dampeners.
Figure 3: The motor's mounting plate. Ensure rubber vibration dampeners are placed between the motor and the table, with the small tab on the dampener pointing downwards.
2. Installing the Belt Guard
Attach the belt guard to the motor unit using the provided screws. This guard protects against accidental contact with the rotating belt and pulley.

3. Connecting the Foot Switch and Power
Connect the foot switch cable to the designated port on the motor's control unit. Plug the separate power switch into a standard AC110V outlet, then connect the motor's power cable to the power switch.

4. Adjusting Belt Tension
Ensure the drive belt connecting the motor pulley to the sewing machine's handwheel is properly tensioned. Adjust the two nuts on the motor's mounting bolt to move the motor slightly, achieving optimal belt tension. The belt should have a small amount of play, but not be loose enough to slip.
Operating Instructions
1. Power On/Off
Use the separate power switch to turn the motor ON or OFF. The digital display on the control panel will illuminate when powered on.
2. Speed Adjustment
The motor offers variable speed control. Use the '+' and '-' buttons on the control panel to increase or decrease the maximum speed (RPM). The display shows the current maximum RPM setting. The minimum speed is 200 RPM, and the maximum is 4500 RPM.

3. Needle Up/Down and Sewing Light
- The control panel includes a needle up/down selection feature. Consult the included instruction pamphlet for specific button functions related to needle positioning.
- If your sewing machine has a compatible light plugged into the motor unit, you can turn it on or off using the designated button on the control panel.
4. Adjusting Foot Pedal Pressure
The foot pedal's responsiveness can be adjusted. On the side of the motor, there is a spring mechanism that controls the downward pressure required on the foot pedal. Moving the spring to different notches will change the pedal's feel. Adjust this to your preference for a longer or shorter throw.
5. Changing Motor Direction (CW/CCW)
To change the motor's rotation direction (Clockwise/Counter-Clockwise):
- Ensure the motor is powered on.
- Press the 'P' button and the '+' button simultaneously. The display will show 'P-00'.
- Press '+' to navigate to 'P-02'.
- Press 'P' to change the value from '0' to '1' or '1' to '0' to switch direction.
- Press 'S' to save the setting.

Maintenance
The brushless design of this servo motor requires minimal maintenance. Regularly inspect the drive belt for wear and tear, and ensure proper tension. Keep the motor and control unit clean and free from dust and debris. No internal lubrication is typically required for brushless motors.

Troubleshooting
- Motor not starting: Check power connections, ensure the separate power switch is ON, and verify the foot switch cable is securely connected.
- Motor running erratically: Ensure the drive belt is correctly tensioned and not slipping. Check for any obstructions around the motor or pulley.
- Unusual noise or vibration: Verify all mounting bolts are tight and rubber dampeners are correctly installed. Inspect the motor for any visible damage.
- Speed control issues: Ensure the '+' and '-' buttons are functioning correctly and the display shows the desired RPM. If issues persist, consult the detailed instruction pamphlet for advanced parameter settings.
