Adjustment Adjustment Observe and comply with all instructions in the operating manual's chapter 1 Safety! In particular make sure that all safety covers are installed again correctly after making adjustments, see chapter 1.06 Operating manual hazard information! Unless otherwise stated, the machine must be disconnected from the power supply before all adjustment work! Risk of injury due to accidental machine start-up! Notes on adjustment...
Adjustment Adjusting basic machine Feed dog position crossways to sewing direction .04.01 Rule The bottom transporter should have the same clearance on the right and left in the nee- dle plate recess. Fig. 13 - 01 O Adjust the bottom transporter 1 (screws 2) according to the rule.
Adjustment Feed dog position in sewing direction .04.02 Rule The bottom transporter 4 should have the same clearance at the front and back in the needle plate recess in forward and reverse feed at the maximum stitch length setting. Fig. 13 - 02 O Set the maximum stitch length.
Adjustment Needle position to needle hole .04.03 Rule The needle should pierce the middle of the needle hole exactly (with stitch length regulation "0"). Fig. 13 - 03 O Unscrew the top feed foot 1 and the presser foot 2. O Set the stitch length to "0"...
Adjustment Needle height .04.04 (pre-calibrating) Rule The clearance between the needle bar and needle plate should be 15 mm when the needle bar is in b.d.c. 15 mm Fig. 13 - 04 O Adjust the needle bar 1 (screw 2) without twisting according to the rule.
Adjustment Bottom and top feed sliding movement .04.05 Rule The top and bottom feed should not move when the reverse-feed lever is activated with maximum stitch length regulation and when the needle bar is in b.d.c. Fig. 13 - 05 O Set the maximum stitch length.
Adjustment Hook-to-needle clearance, needle bar rise, needle height and needle guard .04.06 Rule With the needle rise positioned 1.8 mm after b.d.c. of the needle bar and with stitch length regulation "3": 1. The hook point should be at the needle midpoint and should have a clearance of 0.05 to 0.1 mm to the needle.
Adjustment Top feed lift .04.07 Rule The presser foot 1 and top feed foot 2 should each lift 7.0 mm off the needle plate when turning the handwheel at the maximum top feed lift position and when the stitch length is set to "0".
Adjustment Top feed stroke movement .04.08 Rule The presser foot 6 and the needle point should reach the needle plate at the same time at maximum top feed lift if the presser foot 1 rests on the needle plate. Fig. 13 - 08 O Loosen the screw 1.
Adjustment Needle thread tension release .04.09 Rule When the presser foot is raised, both tension discs should be at least 0.5 mm apart. The clearance of 0.5 mm is the minimum size and may be over 1 mm with thick types of yarn. 0.5 mm Fig.
Adjustment Thread check spring .04.10 Rule The movement of the thread check spring 5 should be finished when the needle point punctures the material (spring deflection = approx. 7 mm). The length of the thread check spring deflection may deviate slightly upwards or downwards for reasons relating to the sewing technology.
Adjustment Bobbin winder .04.11 Rule 1. When the bobbin winder is switched on, the bobbin winder spindle should be moved easily; when the bobbin winder is switched off, the friction wheel 5 must not touch the drive wheel 1. 2. The bobbin winder should switch off automatically when the fill amount is still around 1 mm from the edge of the bobbin.
Adjustment Presser foot pressure .04.12 Rule The material should be transported properly even at top sewing speed. No pressure marks should appear on the material. Fig. 13 - 12 O Turn the screw 1 according to the rule.
Adjustment Adjusting thread trimmer -900/52 Ensure that the stitch length is limited to 5.5 mm in all machines with thread trimmer -900/52! Control cam .05.01 (pre-calibrating) Rule The groove 4 of the control cam 2 should stand vertical under the feed regulator pin 5 when the thread lever is in b.d.c.
Adjustment Tripping lever height .05.02 Rule There should be a clearance of 1.0 mm between the tripping lever 3 and the control cam 4 when the needle bar is in b.d.c. 1 mm Fig. 13 - 14 O Move the needle bar to b.d.c. O Adjust the carrier 1 (screws 2) of the tripping lever 3 in the elongated hole according to the rule.
Adjustment Feed regulator pin .05.03 Rule The feed regulator pin 5 should be able to drop easily into the control cam track 7 when the engaging solenoid 6 is activated when the needle bar is in b.d.c. Fig. 13 - 15 O Move the needle bar to b.d.c.
Adjustment Engaging solenoid .05.04 Rule There should be a clearance of approx. 0.5 mm between the pawl 7 and the retaining col- lar 6 when the needle bar is in b.d.c and the field core 1 is activated up to the stop. 0.5 mm Fig.
Adjustment Feed regulator pin height .05.05 Rule When the thread trimmer is in the neutral position and the pawl 4 is engaged, there should be a clearance of 0.3 mm between the highest point of the control cam 5 and the feed regulator pin 6.
Adjustment Front turning point of thread catcher .05.06 Rule When the thread catcher 3 is in the front turning point, the rear edge of the thread catch- er cutout should still be 1 mm above the front edge of the bobbin case position finger 6. 1 mm Fig.
Adjustment Aligning thread catcher laterally .05.07 Rule The thread catcher tip 4 should point exactly at the middle of the needle when the nee- dle bar is in b.d.c. Fig. 13 - 19 O Remove the knife 1 (screws 2). O Move the needle bar to b.d.c.
Adjustment Control cam .05.08 (pre-calibrating) Rule If the end of the thread guard 2 is 2 mm behind the middle of the bobbin case position finger 3 looking in the feeding direction, the clearance between the thread catcher tip 4 and the thread guard 2 should be approx.
Adjustment Knife .05.09 Rule If the rear edge of the thread catcher cutout is 1 mm in front of the knife edge, the left knife edge should be flush with the thread catcher edge (see arrow in circle). Fig. 13 - 21 O Unscrew the knife 1 (screws 2).
Adjustment Test cut .05.10 Rule The knife should be parallel to the thread catcher and both threads must be cut properly. Fig. 13 - 22 O Move the needle bar to b.d.c. and activate the field core 1. O Turn the handwheel (direction of rotation) until the thread catcher 2 is at its front turning point.
Adjustment Parameter settings O The separate parameter list for the machine describes how to select the user level and change parameters (see chapter 1.1.2 Technician level). Internet update of control P40 CD O You need a dongle with the appropriate machine software to be able to perform a control update.
