Adjustment Adjustment Observe and comply with all instructions in the operating manual's chapter 1 Safety! In particular make sure that all safety covers are installed again correctly after making adjustments, see chapter 1.06 Operating manual hazard information! Unless otherwise stated, the machine must be disconnected from the power supply before all adjustment work! Risk of injury due to accidental machine start-up! Notes on adjustment...
Adjustment Adjusting basic machine Feed dog position crossways to sewing direction .04.01 Rule The bottom transporter should have the same clearance on the right and left in the needle plate recess. Fig. 13 - 01 O Adjust the bottom transporter 1 (screws 2) according to the rule.
Adjustment Feed dog position in sewing direction .04.02 Rule The bottom transporter 4 should have the same clearance at the front and back in the needle plate recess in forward and reverse feed at the maximum stitch length setting. Fig. 13 - 02 O Set the maximum stitch length.
Adjustment Needle position to needle hole .04.03 Rule 1. In the sewing direction, a clearance of approximately 0.7 mm should remain between the needle midpoint and the front inside edge of the needle hole. 2. The needle should be at the centre of the needle hole when diagonal to the sewing direction.
Adjustment Needle height .04.04 (pre-calibrating) Rule When the needle bar is in b.d.c., the clearance between the needle bar and needle plate should be 15 mm. Fig. 13 - 04 O Adjust the needle bar 1 ( screw 2 ) without twisting according to the rule.
Adjustment Bottom and top feed sliding movement .04.05 Rule When, approaching from above, the needle bar's lower edge is located 33 mm above the needle plate's upper edge, the top and bottom transporter should not move when the reverse-feed lever is activated. 33 mm Fig.
Adjustment Hook-to-needle clearance, needle bar rise, needle height and needle guard .04.06 Rule When the needle bar rise is positioned 1.8 mm after b.d.c. of the needle bar and with maximum stitch length regulation, 1. the hook point should be at the needle midpoint and have a clearance of 0.05 to 0.1 mm to the needle.
Adjustment Top feed lift .04.07 Rule When lever 1 is in the centre of its slotted lever, presser foot 3 and top feed foot 4 should be at the same height above the needle plate. Fig. 13 - 07 O Set the stitch length to "0". O Set lever 1 (screw 2) into the centre of its slotted lever.
Adjustment Top feed stroke movement .04.08 Rule When, approaching from above, the needle bar's lower edge is located 33 mm above the needle plate's upper edge, the top transporter should not move when the slotted lever 3 moves up and down. 33 mm Fig.
Adjustment Top feed pendulum .04.09 Rule When the stitch length is set to "0" and the machine has a maximum gathering setting, the presser rod 4 should be in the centre between needle bar guide and presser bar. Fig. 13 - 09 O Slide the connecting rod 1 (screw 2) in its slotted lever 3 until you feel it reach the upper stop.
Adjustment Needle thread tension release .04.10 Rule When the presser foot is raised, both tension discs should be at least 0.5 mm apart. The clearance of 0.5 mm is the minimum size and may be over 1 mm with thick types of yarn. 0.5 mm Fig.
Adjustment Thread check spring .04.11 Rule The movement of the thread check spring 5 should be finished when the needle point punctures the material (spring deflection = approx. 7 mm). The length of the thread check spring deflection may deviate slightly upwards or downwards for reasons relating to the sewing technology.
Adjustment Bobbin winder .04.12 Rule 1. When the bobbin winder is switched on, the bobbin winder spindle should be moved easily; when the bobbin winder is switched off, the friction wheel 5 must not touch the drive wheel 1. 2. The bobbin winder should switch off automatically when the fill amount is still around 1 mm from the edge of the bobbin.
Adjustment Presser foot pressure .04.13 Rule The material should be transported properly even at top sewing speed. No pressure marks should appear on the material. Fig. 13 - 13 O Turn the screw 1 according to the rule.
Adjustment Adjusting thread trimmer -900/51 Control cam .05.01 ( pre-calibrating ) Rule When the thread lever is in b.d.c. the groove 4 of the control cam 2 should stand vertical under the feed regulator pin 5. Fig. 13 - 14 O Loosen the screws 1 through the hole in the machine housing.
Adjustment Tripping lever height .05.02 Rule When the needle bar is in b.d.c., there should be a clearance of 1.0 mm between the trip- ping lever 3 and the control cam 4. 1 mm Fig. 1 3- 15 O Move the needle bar to b.d.c. O Adjust the carrier 1 (screws 2) of the tripping lever 3 in the elongated hole according to the rule.
Adjustment Feed regulator pin .05.03 Rule When the needle bar is in b.d.c., the feed regulator pin 5 should be able to drop easily into the control cam track 7 when the engaging solenoid 6 is activated. Fig. 13 - 16 O Move the needle bar to b.d.c.
Adjustment Engaging solenoid .05.04 Rule When the needle bar is in b.d.c. and the field core 1 is activated up to the stop, there should be a clearance of approx. 0.5 mm between the pawl 7 and the retaining collar 6. 0.5 mm Fig.
Adjustment Feed regulator pin height .05.05 Rule When the thread trimmer is in the neutral position and the pawl 4 is engaged, there should be a clearance of 0.3 mm between the highest point of the control cam 5 and the feed regulator pin 6.
Adjustment Front turning point of thread catcher .05.06 Rule When the thread catcher 3 is in the front turning point, the rear edge of the thread catcher cutout should still be 1 mm above the front edge of the bobbin case stopper 6. 1 mm Fig.
Adjustment Aligning thread catcher laterally .05.07 Rule When the needle bar is in b.d.c., the thread catcher tip 4 should point exactly at the middle of the needle. Fig. 13 - 20 O Remove the knife 1 (screws 2). O Move the needle bar to b.d.c. O Activate the field core 3 manually and turn the handwheel until the needle bar is posi- tioned at t.d.c.
Adjustment Control cam .05.08 (recalibrating) Rule If the end of the thread guard 2 is 2 mm behind the middle of the bobbin case position finger 3 looking in the feeding direction, the clearance between the thread catcher tip 4 and the thread guard 2 should be approx.
Adjustment Knife .05.09 Rule If the rear edge of the thread catcher cutout is 1 mm in front of the knife edge, the left knife edge should be flush with the thread catcher edge (see arrow in circle). Fig. 13 - 22 O Loosely unscrew knife 1 (screws 2).
Adjustment Test cut .05.10 Rule The knife should be parallel to the thread catcher and both threads must be cut properly. Fig. 13 - 23 O Move the needle bar to b.d.c. and activate the field core 1. O Turn the handwheel (direction of rotation) until the thread catcher 2 is at its front turning point.
