Adjustment Adjustment Please observe all notes from Chapter 1 Safety of the instruction manual! In particular care must be taken to see that all protective devices are refitted properly after adjustment, see Chapter 1.06 Danger warnings of the instruction manual! If not otherwise stated, the machine must be disconnected from the electrical power supply.
Adjustment Adjusting the basic machine Lateral positioning of the feed dog .04.01 Requirement The clearances from the left and right of the bottom feed dog 1 to the needle plate cutout must be the the same size. Fig. 13 - 01 Move the bottom feed dog 1 (screws 2) in accordance with the requirement.
Adjustment Lengthwise positioning of the feed dog .04.02 Requirement With the stitch length set at its longest the clearances behind and in front of the bottom feed dog 4 to the needle plate cutout must be the same. Fig. 13 - 02 Set the longest stitch length.
Adjustment Height of the bottom feed dog .04.03 (only on machines with lifting phase – P-version) Requirement When the stitch length is set at "0", in its highest position the bottom feed dog 4 should be 0.8 - 1.1 mm above the top edge of the needle plate. Fig.
Adjustment Centering the needle in the needle hole .04.04 Requirement With the stitch length set at "0" the needle must enter the needle hole exactly in the middle. Fig. 13 - 04 ● Unscrew the vibrating presser foot 1 and the presser foot 2. ●...
Adjustment Pre-adjusting the needle height .04.05 Requirement With the needle bar at its bdc the distance between the needle bar and the needle plate must be 15 mm. Fig. 13 - 05 Move the needle bar 1 (screw 2) in accordance with the requirement without twisting it. ●...
Adjustment Driving motion of the top and bottom feed dogs .04.06 Requirement With the longest stitch length set and the needle bar at its bdc the top and bottom feed dogs should not move when the reverse feed lever is activated. Fig.
Adjustment Lifting motion of the bottom feed dog .04.07 (only on machines with lifting phase – P-version) Requirement With the needle bar positioned at b.d.c., the bottom feed doc should be in the t.d.c. position. With the maximum stitch length set, when the balance wheel is turned the bottom feed dog should reach the needle plate surface at the same time as the needle point.
Adjustment Needle rise, hook-to-needle clearance and needle height .04.08 Requirement With the stitch length set at "3" (1.8 mm after the bdc of the needle bar) the following must be correct: The hook point must be opposite the middle of the needle and the distance to the needle must be 0.05 - 0.1 mm.
Adjustment Vibrating presser lift .04.09 Requirement With the vibrating presser lift at maximum and the stitch length set at "0", presser foot 1 and vibrating presser foot 2 must lift 7.0 mm from the needle plate when the handwheel is rotated. Fig.
Adjustment Vibrating presser feeding motion .04.10 Requirement With the presser foot 3 resting on the needle plate the vibrating presser 6 and the needle point must both reach the needle plate at the same time with the vibrating presser stroke at maximum.
Adjustment Needle thread tension release .04.11 Requirement With the presser foot lifted, the two tension disks must be at least 0.5 mm apart. The distance of 0.5 mm is the minimum clearance. The clearance can range up to more than 1 mm with thick threads. 0,5 mm Fig.
Adjustment Thread check spring .04.12 Requirement The movement of the thread check spring must be finished when the needle point enters the material (= approx. 7 mm spring movement). The length of the spring movement can vary a little upwards or downwards due to changes in the sewing parameters.
Adjustment Bobbin winder .04.13 Requirement With the bobbin winder engaged the winder spindle must be driven reliably. With the bob- bin winder disengaged, however, the friction wheel 5 must not touch the drive wheel 1. The bobbin winder must stop automatically when the thread wound on the bobbin has reached a point approx.
Adjustment Regulating the pressure on the presser foot .04.14 Requirement The material must be fed perfectly even at top sewing speed. There must not be any pressure marks on the material. Fig. 13 - 14 Turn screw 1 in accordance with the requirement. ●...
Adjustment Adjusting the thread trimmer -900/52 Please note that on all machines with thread trimmer -900/52 the stitch length must be limited to 5.5 mm! Preadjusting the control cam .05.01 Requirement With the take-up lever at its bdc, projection 4 on the control cam 2 must be directly un- derneath the cam follower 5.
Adjustment Tripping lever height .05.02 Requirement With the needle bar at its bdc there must be a distance of 1.0 mm between the tripping lever 3 and the control cam 4. Fig. 13 - 16 ● Bring the needle bar to its bdc by turning the handwheel. ●...
Adjustment Control pin .05.03 Requirement With the needle bar at b.d.c. control pin 5 must drop easily into the track of control cam 7 when engaging solenoid 6 is operated. Fig. 13 - 17 Set the needle bar at b.d.c. ●...
Adjustment Engaging solenoid .05.04 Requirement With the needle bar at b.d.c. and solenoid core 1 fully operated there must be a clearance of approx. 0.5 mm between locking pawl 7 and fixing collar 6. Fig. 13 - 18 Set the needle bar at b.d.c. ●...
Adjustment Control pin height .05.05 Requirement With the thread trimmer in its resting position and locking pawl 4 engaged there must be a clearance of 0.3 mm between the highest point of control cam 5 and control pin 6. Fig. 13 - 19 Set the needle bar at t..d.c.
Adjustment Front position of thread catcher .05.06 Requirement With thread catcher 3 at its front position the back edge of the thread catcher cutout must be 1 mm beyond the front edge of bobbin case position stop 6. Fig. 13 - 20 Set the needle bar at b.d.c.
Adjustment Lateral position of thread catcher .05.07 Requirement With the needle bar at b.d.c. the point of thread catcher 4 must be at the centre of the needle. Fig. 13 - 21 Remove knife 1 (screws 2). ● Set the needle bar at b.d.c. ●...
