General notes on safety Every person in charge of setting up, operating, servicing and repairing the machine must first read and understand the operating instructions and particularly the safety instructions before starting up the machine. Failure to comply with the following safety instructions can lead to bodily injury or damage to the machine.

Warning instructions given in the operating instructions that pertain to special injury hazards for operating personnel or technicians must be indicated at these positions using a safety symbol.
Range of applications Class VEB100-7 is suitable for sewing belt loops from waste fabric. The cutting device trims the material automatically to the size for the 9.5 and 11 mm hemmer.
Technical data Recommended rated speed 1800 min Motor power 550 W Toothed belt pulley/machine Z = 38 Toothed belt profile HTD 5M-9 Stitch length 3 - 6 mm (depend on fabric) Kind of stitch single thread chainstitch blindstitch Stitch type Needle system GROZ-BECKERT 1669 EEO Needle size...
Installation and putting into service Unpacking the machine (Fig. 1) If the pressing unit is supplied together with a Class VEB100-7 it is screwed onto the table top behind the blindstitching machine. Make sure that all accessories have been unpacked before throwing away any packing material.

Pressing unit: The pressing unit has to be connected to an additional central steam unit with interconnected solenoid valve or to a steam generator. Attention: To avoid condensation water it is recommended to use a short teflon hose (approx. 2.5 m max.) with small diameter. And the hose should not sag to avoid that condensation water is collected.
Sense of rotation The correct sense of rotation of the hand wheel is clockwise in line of vision on the hand wheel. Motor drive using tooth belts 3.4.1 Tension of toothed belt (Fig. 3) C A U T I O N ! Danger of injury! Switch off the machine at the mains when checking the belt tension.
3.4.2 Machine positions (Fig. 4) C A U T I O N ! . Danger of injury! Entanglement hazard for clothing or hair and danger of finger injuries and needle punctures! When checking the positions while the machine is turned on, keep your fingers and hands away from moving parts.
The feed (Fig. 5 and Fig. 6) The transport or the speed of the pressing unit is controlled automatically by the deflector roll ( Fig. 5) (1). (see also “4.8.1 Adjusting the stitch length“) After the needle plate, the loop of the belt has to be routed through underneath the deflector roll before it is fed into the opening of the pressing unit.
Instructions for use Needles and threads The sewing quality can be influenced to a considerable extent by choosing the most suitable needles and threads for the material to be sewn. It is recommended to use controlled GROZ-BECKERT needles system 1669 EEO only.
Fig. 7 Threading and straight grain C A U T I O N ! Danger of injury! Switch off machine electrically and confirm that the machine is really in standstill position by operating the treadle for the motor control before threading. Otherwise danger of finger bruises and needle throughstitches.
Thread tension Depending on thread and fabric quality, nature and thickness the thread tension is set by tension nut (1) ( Fig. 8). Thread take-up lever The thread take-up lever (2) Fig. 8 avoids thread twist and turning over of the loop, thus enabling a secure taking up of the loop by looper and needle.
Cloth retainer A t t e n t i o n ! Danger of finger bruises through unintended actuation of the treadle during setting works in the needle plate area. The machine has no real cloth retainer. During the time of needle penetration the material is hold between hemmer and plunger.
Sewing material transport The machine transports the sewing material using a rigid upper transport. The feed (stitch length) can be set from 3 - 6 mm in 4 steps. Serially, a pyramid- toothed feed dog is mounted, which can be exchanged for a saw-toothed one if necessary.
4.8.2 Adjusting the top feed The transporter can be adjusted in its intrusion depth to the needle plate by loosening the two fastening screws. If the stitch length is adjusted across a greater range e.g., from 6 to 3 mm, then the feed dog should be readjusted. Adjustments might also be required when changing to sewing materials that are thicker or otherwise different in quality.
Operating the machine C A U T I O N ! Danger of injury! Please observe the sewing area carefully during sewing. Otherwise danger of finger bruises and needle throughstitches. Switching on Connect the compressed-air conditioner to the compressed air supplier (10 bar) or to the compressor and set it to 3 - 4 bar.
Fig. 11 Sewing belt loops There is a number of hemmers available to sew nearly all required fabrics. In general, the belt loops are sewn of the waste fabrics of the trouser production. In the hemmer the fabric is symmetrically folded and centrically blindstitched. Using a tape facilitates the sewing and reinforces the belt loop.
Fig. 12 Attention: very fuzzy fabrics may disturb the process. The cuttings fall down into a garbage chute. The material is trimmed exactly and then guided to the hemmer. The tape is manually pushed through the bow at the swivelled down tape feeding device and then through the hemmer’s bow into the hemmer.
Quick hemmer changing device C A U T I O N ! Danger of injury! When working on the cutting system, switch off the power to the complete machine. Otherwise there is a danger of fingers getting crushed or cut! The hemmers are screwed to a holder and were set at works.

Fig. 14 When the hemmer is exchanged, the height of the hemmer in relation to the curved knife needs to be checked and adjusted if necessary. Turn the knurled screw (1) for this until the correct setting has been made. BA_VEB100-7_A4_180618_en...
Setting the hemmer The hemmer lies on the plunger with the belt loop folded on one side already, i.e. that the fabric is hold for the needle penetration and the set stitch depth is ensured. Therefore the hemmer is slotted at the front part. The hemmer’s outlet should be approx.
Fusible tapes It is recommended to provide the belt loops with a fusible tape. Choose the tape width according to the following chart: hemmer size tape width inch inch 8,5-9 5/16 7/16 10-10,5 Tapes of the most different qualities can be used. Tapes coated on one side only or on both sides are used with the fabric when pressing the ready sewn belt loop.
Cutting system The cutting system with integrated quick hemmer changing device is mounted to the table plate as the standard hemmer support. The operation is supported by an additional tape feed ( Fig. 11). The cutting system needs to be cleaned regularly. See also point “6 Machine maintenance”...

Pressing unit C A U T I O N ! Danger of injury! When working on the pressing unit, switch off the power to the entire machine, disconnect the pneumatic supply and allow the device to cool down. Otherwise there is a danger of fingers getting crushed, scalding and electric shock! 5.8.1 General...

5.8.2 Switch on the pressing unit (Fig. 17) Once the technician has duly mounted all air, steam and current connecting cables the unit can be put into operation as follows: The pressing unit itself is switched on at the pressing unit on the left side. The pressing unit is ready once the set temperature is reached.
5.8.5 Interruption of the sewing process The ironing shoe is lifted when the sewing and ironing machine is switched on. A built-in temperature regulator keeps the set temperature at about ±20 ºC constant. Please switch off the ironing device during longer interruptions of sewing with I/0 switch (1) (as Fig.
Problems during sewing and possible solutions C A U T I O N ! Danger of injury! Switch off machine electrically and confirm that the machine is really in standstill position by operating the treadle for the motor control. Otherwise danger of finger bruises and needle throughstitches.

Material feed problems (stitch length different from settings) Possible reasons: feed dog setting is not correct, material cannot be caught sufficiently. unsuitable feed dog toothing feed plate lift is blocked material accumulation in the needle plate seam or loop are caught by the feed dog unintended stitch length modification Solutions: check feed dog setting and stitch length, replace feed dog, if...
Machine maintenance Most of the bearings of the machine are maintenancefree. Apply one drop of sewing machine oil (oil is supplied wit the accessories) every 20 operating hours or at least once a week to the red marked points and oil borings. Release the machine head's slotted pan-head screw and remove cover to lubricate looper link and the feed crank.
