Restart
In order to avoid damage to the machine, when restarting after a quick stop it is
essential to proceed as follows:
–
Lift the idle lever 5 until it jumps off of the nose 4 of the length setting slide 6.
Attention !
This point is only to be carried out if the machine was turned off immediately after
the first sewing stitches.
–
Pull the turn-off lever 1 forward.
–
Turn the handwheel 3 in the direction of the arrow until it catches.
The handwheel is arrested in this position by brake lever 2.
The needle is in its highest position.
–
Open the clamp plates and remove material.
–
Close the clamp plates again.
–
Turn on the machine with the hand shift lever.
The material support plate moves to its end position.
The needle remains in its highest position.
ATTENTION !
Before turning on the machine always bring the needle into
the high position by catching in the handwheel 3. A bending
of the needle or damage to the material is thus avoided.
Exception:
The handwheel may not, however, be turned at that
moment in which, after the end of the sewing sequence,
the cutting movement of the upper thread knife begins and
this lies under the needle hole of the needle plate.
ATTENTION !
Only turn the hand crank of the high-speed wheel when the
handwheel has caught in the direction of turn.
