Danger of injury if the machine is started accidentally! For the adjustments in this chapter the PFAFF 1296 two-needle machine is illustrated. On the PFAFF 1295 single-needle machines various adjustments only have to be carried out on one side, i.e. in the right-hand hook area. This is referred to in the different chapters.
Adjustment Adjusting the basic machine Position of the bottom feed dog crosswise to sewing direction .05.01 Requirement The bottom feed dog must be the same distance from the left and right side of the feed slots. Fig. 11 - 01 Loosen screws 1 and 2.
Adjustment Adjusting the bottom feed dog in sewing direction .05.02 Requirement With the longest stitch length set, the bottom feed dog must not strike the feed slot at the front or rear end of its stroke. Fig. 11 - 02 Set the longest stitch length.
Adjustment Bottom feed dog height 05.03 Requirement With the stitch length set at "0" the feed dog must protrude from the needle plate by the height of its teeth when at its highest position. Fig. 11 - 03 Set stitch length „0“. Turn the balance wheel to set the bottom feed dog at its highest position.
Adjustment Needle height (preliminary adjustment) 05.04 Requirement With the needle bar at b.d.c. the clearance between needle bar and needle plate must be 15 mm. Fig. 11 - 04 Re-position the height of needle bar 1 (screws 2) according to Requirement, but do not turn it.
Adjustment Needle in needle-hole centre .05.05 Requirement With the stitch length set at "0" the needle must enter exactly in the centre of the needle hole. Fig. 11 - 05 Remove vibrating presser 1 and lifting presser 2. Set the stitch length at "0" and set the needle bar at t.d.c. Insert a new needle, loosen screws 3, 4, 5 and 6.
Adjustment Bottom feed dog lifting motion 05.06 Requirement 1. With the needle bar at b.d.c. the feed dog must be at its highest position. 2. When the longest stitch length is set and the balance wheel is turned, the bottom feed dog must reach the top side of the needle plate at the same time as the needle.
Adjustment Feeding stroke of bottom and top feeds .05.07 Requirement With the longest stitch length set and the needle bar at b.d.c. neither the top- nor bottom feed must make any movement when the reverse-feed lever is operated. Fig. 11 - 07 Set the longest stitch length.
Adjustment Hook clearance, needle rise, needle height and needle guard .05.08 Requirement With the stitch length set at "3" and in needle-rise position (= 1.8 mm past b.d.c. on version "B" or 2.0 mm past b.d.c. on version "C") 1. The hook point must be at the "needle centre" and the clearance between hook and needle 0.05 to 0.1 mm, 2.

Adjustment Set the hook point at the needle centre, making sure that the needle is not deflected by needle guard 8. Making sure that bevel gear 6 is not too close, but the hook has not too much play, tighten screws 2. Move fixing collar 7 up against bevel gear 6 and tighten screws 3.
Adjustment Top feed stroke .05.09 Requirement With the longest top feed stroke set and the stitch length at "0", lifting presser 1 and vibrating presser 2 must each rise from the needle plate by 7.0 mm when the balance wheel is turned. Fig.
Adjustment Top feed lifting motion .05.10 Requirement When lifting presser 1 is resting on the needle plate, vibrating presser 4 and needle point 5 must reach the needle plate at the same time at the highest top feed stroke. Fig. 11 - 10 Lower lifting presser 1 onto the needle plate.
Adjustment Bobbin case opener .05.11 Requirement The needle thread must neither be trapped between bobbin case opener 3 and hook base 4 nor between position finger 5 and the retainer on the needle plate (see arrows). Fig. 11 - 11 Undscrew and remove post covers 1 (on left post from the rear).
Adjustment Slip coupling .05.12 Slip coupling 4 is adjusted at the works. When a thread jams, slip coupling 4 disengages, in order to avoid damage to the hooks. To engage the coupling again, proceed as follows. Fig. 11 - 12 Remove jammed thread.
Adjustment Needle-thread tension release .05.13 Requirement With the lifting presser raised, there must be a clearance of at least 0.5 mm between tension discs 4. 0.5 mm Fig. 11 - 13 Position pressure plate 1 behind mounting bracket 2 according to Requirement. The clearance of 0.5 mm is a miminum setting and may be as much as 1 mm for heavy threads.
Adjustment Thread check spring, without subclass -900/56 .05.14 Requirement The movement of thread check spring 5 must be finished when the needle pointe enters the material (=spring stroke of about 7 mm). Fig. 11 - 14 Adjust stop 1 (screw 2) according to Requirement. To adjust the pressure of the spring, turn screw 3 (screw 4).
Adjustment Thread check spring on the PFAFF 1296 with subclass -900/56 .05.15 Requirement The movements of thread check springs 1 and 6 must be finished when the needle points enter the material (=spring stroke of about 7 mm). 8 10 Fig.
Adjustment Bobbin winder .05.16 Requirement 1. With the bobbin winder engaged, drive wheel 1 must be driven reliably. 2. With the bobbin winder disengaged, friction wheel 5 must not run against drive wheel 1. 3. The bobbind winder must switch itself off when the filled thread is about 1 mm from the rim of the bobbin.
Adjustment Pressure of the lifting presser .05.17 Requirement 1. The material must be properly fed, even at the highest sewing speed. 2. There must be no pressure marks on the material. Fig. 11 - 17 Turn screw 1 according to the Requirement. 13 - 19...
Adjustment Adjusting the thread trimmer -900/56 Engaging solenoid .06.01 Requirement 1. Mounting bracket 1 must be in the middle of its adjusting range and parallel with the right-hand edge of the mounting bracket. 2. When the thread trimmer is in its resting position the core of solenoid 3 must protrude from the solenoid housing by about 4 mm.
