Sewing Devices - Duerkopp Adler 558 Operating Instructions Manual

1.4 Sewing Devices

The devices parts for the different buttonhole forms and cutting lengths are established
under device numbers (E no.'s).
After the E no. behind a slash the cutting length or the setting range in mm is given.
Example: 578 E2107 / 20
558 E209 / 10 - 38
For sewing the various buttonhole lengths different cutting blocks, cloth clamps and disc
cams are required. The appropriate order numbers can be found in the device sheet for
the 558.
The device summary table on the following page lists the currently available devices.
The most suitable device for a specific buttonhole form and a certain type of material
can be chosen quickly from the table.
ATTENTION :
For the 558 after July 1994 the device numbers for the 578 apply ( Chapter 1.4.1 ).
For the 558 up to June 1994 the device numbers for the 558 apply ( Chapter 1.4.2 ).
There are two different groups of buttonhole machines:
Only cutting after sewing.
Cutting before or after sewing as desired.
For conversion of the buttonhole machine to a further buttonhole form or cutting length
the following points are to be considered:
1. Only those parts are to be ordered and attached whose order numbers do not agree
with those of the device available.
See the device sheets for the 558 and the 578.
2. The cutting lengths can only be selected appropriate to the device or the setting
range.
By devices which have only one digit behind the slash the cutting length is not
adjustable.
3. By machines which are switched over to cutting before or after sewing, the
appropriate sections of these instructions are to be observed.
4. The setting values, buttonhole width and looping stroke, are interdependent and must
be observed when changing to another device (E no.).
If values deviating from the table arise, the adaption is to be made by a specialist as
per the Service Instructions.
