Position Of The Looper Thread And Gimp Clamp - DURKOPP ADLER 580 Operating Instructions Manual

23.3 Position of the looper thread and gimp clamp

Caution: Danger of injury !
Adjust the position of the looper thread and gimp clamp only with the
machine switched off.
Standard checking
The long-trimmer clamps both the looper thread and the gimp under a
clamping sheet. looper thread and gimp have to be held as tight that a
safe and tight seam beginning is guaranteed.
Before the cutting operation at the stationary knife starts, looper thread
and gimp thread must be pulled between the lower
clamping spring 2 and the clamping piece 1.
In order to ensure that the gimp and the looper thread are safely pulled
between clamping spring 2 and clamping piece 1 before cutting, the
clamping spring is opened by the release sheet 3 above the pin 4.
The opening width depends on the thickness of the bobbin and gimp
thread used.
The clamp must be opened at least as wide as to ensure that the
threads are safely pulled in front of pin 4 and that they are not pulled
out of the thread clamp after thread trimming.
When the blade of the thread catcher 5 is approx. 1 mm in front of
knife 6, the release sheet 3 must close the thread clamp again.
The pin 4 must then be free again.
The tip 7 of the thread catcher must push itself under the looper thread
and the gimp.
