Foreword This instruction manual is intended to help the user to become familiar with the machine and take advantage of its application possibilities in accordance with the recommendations. The instruction manual contains important information on how to operate the machine securely, properly and economically. Observation of the instructions eliminates danger, reduces costs for repair and down-times, and increases the reliability and life of the machine.
Part A - Instruction manual 1. Proper use of the machine The machine is designed mainly for sewing operations in the shoe manufacture for assembling quarters and linings, for sewing through tongues, for sewing babouches and for decorative sewing of shoes. It is suitable for assembling leather and textile materials in the fancy goods industry.
6. Operation of the machine MAIN SWITCH Caution! Do not use this sewing machine without using the finger guard (C, Fig. 4) and without the take-up lever guard (P, Fig. 2). 6.1 Upper thread threading (Fig. 1, 2) Caution! Before starting the threading operation, switch off the main switch and put off the feet from the pedals on the stand to avoid the starting of the machine by treading the pedal.
6.4 Adjustment of the upper thread tension (Fig. 1, 2, 5) Correct adjustment The tension of the upper and that of the bottom thread must be of the tension of both mutually adjusted in such a way, so that the stitch locking is being threads done in the middle of the sewn material (Fig.
6.6 Adjustment of the stitch length, reverse stitching (Fig. 8, 9) The stitch length is changed in turning the knob (A), which is placed on the arm web, according to the numbers indicating the stitch length against the symbol (B) on the machine arm. In turning the knob in the direction of the arrows, the stitch length is increased (+) or reduced (-).
7. Machine maintenance Caution! Before cleaning and lubricating the machine switch off the main switch and put your your feet off the pedals on the stand to avoid starting the machine by treading the pedal. 7.1 Cleaning Maintain the machine clean and at least once a day (according to the processed material) remove dirt from the hook and feeder space by means of a brush, with the machines provided with a thread cutter, from the cutting space as well.
8. Electronic control of the machine (it is valid for sub-classes equipped with stop motor) 8.1 Control of sewing by means of control elements 8.1.1 Via treadle (treadle positions and function possibilities) (Fig. 14) The position of the treadle is read by the reader, which can recognise 16 levels.
8.2 Adjustment of automatic functions via control panel for stop motor 8.2.1 By using stop motor Efka with panel V 810 (Fig 16) Functioning pushbuttons engagement: Pushbutton P Recalling and program mode termination Pushbutton E Confirmation of program mode changes Pushbutton + Increase of value displayed in program mode...
Foot position adjustment by stopping at the seam (by neutral position of treadle) and after finishing seam (by neutral posi- tion of treadle): Setting is by means of pushbutton 3, arrow indication above the corresponding symbol. Needle position adjustment by stopping at the seam: Setting is by means of pushbutton 4.

8.2.2.1 Adjustment by means of buttons with fixed setting function (Fig. 17) Note: It is important to finish the seam in order to reach effective button pressing (press the treadle fully backwards down). Setting start bar: Drive enables sewing start bar automatically. It is necessary to choose the type (single, double, off) and number of stitches which will be sewn forwards and backwards.

Note: 1. For permanent memory storing of changed pa- rameter, it is necessary to press treadle forwards down after changing of parameters. 2. Mode of changing parameters is possible only af- ter finishing of the seam. Number of stitches in bars: Number of stitches is stored in parameter’s number.
Operating instructions for eventual trouble shooting Note: When the machine is driven by a stop motor, it is indispensable to check up, before starting its repair, the setting of its parameters according to Instructions for assembling, part B, par. 12.5.2. Trouble Cause Method of troubleshooting...

5. Assembly and screwing on of the stand table top 5.1 Assembly of stand table top (Fig. 2, 3, 4, 5) Put the rubber inserts for placing the machine head into the stand table top into the recess (2 and 3, Fig. 5). For better fastening, we recomment to stick on the inserts.
6. Mounting of a position reader and of a control panel of the stop motor (Fig. 7, 8) Put the position reader (2) on the pin of the hand wheel in such a way, so that the arresting groove of the reader is placed on the arresting stop (4) (in this way, the movement of the position reader body is avoided).
8. Mounting of the equipment for backward stitching (Fig. 11, 12) Remove the backward stitching lever and the knob for setting the stitch length. Mount the knob (1) and the shaft (2). Put on the lever (3) with the magnet (4) on the shaft (2) and fasten the magnet with screws (5) to the machine arm. Using the screw (6), fasten the lever (3) on the shaft (2).
12. Instructions for putting the electronically controlled drive into operation When putting these drives into operation, observe the hints mentioned in the accompanying documentation of the manu- facturer of this drive. The inobservance of these hints may cause damage of the drive or of the sewing machine head. Caution! The voltage in the mains must comply with the voltage given on the drive plate.
