Abstract
A lock stitch machine that has a liquid crystal display screen capable of displaying pages respectively containing choices, instruction messages and guidance messages; a display controller for controlling the liquid crystal display according to the operation of control switches to display a desired page and to permit the selection of a desired choice contained in the displayed page; a task selection switch for selecting one of the choices contained in the page displayed on the liquid crystal display; and a page scrolling switch for scrolling the pages displayed on the liquid crystal display. The pages displayed on the liquid crystal display are scrolled sequentially by operating the page scrolling switch, and choices including kinds of workpieces, types of seams and kind of work contained in the pages are selected by operating the task selection switch. If trouble occurs, a troubleshooting page containing measures to eliminate the trouble can be displayed on the liquid crystal display. Thus, most operations for operating the lock stitch machine can be carried out without consulting the operation manual.
