2. Designated use

The 275 is a special sewing machine designed to sew light material. Such material is
generally made of textile fibers, but it may also be leather. It is used in the clothing and
domestic-upholstery industries.
This sewing machine can also be used to produce so-called technical seams. In this
case, however, the operator must assess the possible dangers which may arise (with
which DÜRKOPP ADLER AG would be happy to assist), since such applications are on
the one hand relatively unusual and, on the other, they are so varied that no single set
of criteria can cover them all. The outcome of this assessment may require appropriate
safety measures to be taken.
Generally only dry material may be sewn with this machine. The material may be no
thicker than 6 mm when compressed by the lowered sewing feet. The material may not
contain any hard objects, since if it does the machine may not be operated without an
eye-protection device. No such device is currently available.
The seam is generally produced with textile-fibre sewing thread of gauge up to 30/2 Nm
GB
(synthetic yarn) or 30/3 Nm (covering yarn). Before using any other thread the possible
dangers arising must be assessed and appropriate safety measures taken if necessary.
This special sewing machine may be set up and operated only in dry, well-maintained
premises. If the sewing machine is used in other premises which are not dry and
well-maintained it may be necessary to take further precautions (which should be
agreed in advance - see EN 60204-31: 1999).
As manufacturers of industrial sewing machines we proceed on the assumption that
personnel who work on our products will have received training at least sufficient to
acquaint them with all normal operations and with any hazards which these may involve.
