Press key Display: Press numeric key Display: Press numeric key Display: The current speed level is shown in the bottom line of the display (e.g. RED. SPEED: 15). By pressing numeric keys it is possible to enter the desired speed level which is displayed in %.
  • Page 30 The piece counter counts continuously the attached pockets. To reset it back to “0” press key Display: Press numeric keys in this order. Then press an operation mode key . The bobbin thread stitch counter counts the sewn stitches in units of 100 stitches each. The number of stitch units that can be sewn with a filled bobbin thread bobbin, must be determined individually.
  • Page 31 Press key and press numeric key twice. The current delay value is shown as a number of stitches. Enter a new value by pressing numeric keys and verify it by pressing the key. The command for “zigzag off” is programmed seven stitches before the backtack end. Due to the delay caused by switching valve and cylinder it is necessary to give the command in dependence of the speed.
