5. 操作手順

5.1 Yarn Selection

The machine is designed for a variety of hand-knit yarns. For optimal performance, select yarns that are consistent in thickness and have good elasticity. Avoid overly thick or uneven yarns, as these can cause stitches to drop or the machine to jam.

5.2 Casting On

1. 糸をテンションユニットに通し、キャリッジの糸供給装置に通します。
2. Bring the desired number of needles to the working position.
3. Follow the specific casting-on method outlined in the detailed instruction book provided with your machine. Common methods include e-wrap cast-on or waste yarn cast-on.
4. Ensure the first row of stitches is evenly formed across all active needles.

5.3 Knitting Rows

1. Attach the hanging hem weight to the cast-on edge to provide tension.
2. Ensure the yarn is correctly positioned in the carriage's feeder.
3. Smoothly push the carriage across the knitting bed from one side to the other. Each pass completes one row of knitting.
4. Maintain consistent tension on the yarn and a steady pace when moving the carriage.
5. Periodically check for dropped stitches or tangled yarn.

5.4 Binding Off

Once the desired length is achieved, bind off the stitches using the method described in your instruction book. This typically involves using a latch tool to transfer stitches and create a finished edge.

6. メンテナンス

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and smooth operation of your knitting machine.

• クリーニング： Use a soft brush or cloth to remove lint and yarn fibers from the knitting bed, needles, and carriage after each use. Accumulated fibers can impede needle movement.
• 潤滑: Periodically apply a small amount of machine oil (specifically designed for knitting machines or sewing machines) to the carriage rails and needle beds as recommended in your product's specific guide. Avoid over-oiling.
• Needle Inspection: Regularly check needles for bends, rust, or damage. Replace any damaged needles to prevent dropped stitches or yarn snags.
• ストレージ： When not in use, cover the machine to protect it from dust. Store in a cool, dry place.
