Setting Presser Foot Pressure; Setting The Sewing Foot Lifting Height - Dürkopp Adler 567 CLASSIC Service Manual

Sewing feet

13.3 Setting presser foot pressure

The left adjusting wheel on the machine arm determines the pressure for
the sewing feet on the material to be sewn. The pressure can be adjusted
continuously by turning the adjusting wheel.
The correct pressure depends on the material to be sewn:
• Lower pressure for soft materials, e.g. silk
• Higher pressure for harder materials, e.g. leather
Correct setting
The material being sewn does not slip and is correctly transported.

13.4 Setting the sewing foot lifting height

When the pedal is pressed back halfway, the sewing feet can be raised
during sewing, e.g. to move the material being sewn.
When the pedal is pressed completely back, the sewing feet will be raised
after the thread is cut so that the material being sewn can be exchanged.
