Adjustment Needle thread tension release .04.13 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 .04.14 (with the PFAFF 1295 and PFAFF 1296 without thread trimmer -900/56) Rule The movement of the thread check spring 5 should be finished when the needle point punctures the material (spring deflection = approx. 7 mm).
Adjustment Thread check spring .04.15 (with the PFAFF 1296 with thread trimmer -900/56) Rule The movement of the thread check springs 1 and 6 should be finished when the needle points puncture 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 .04.16 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 .04.17 Rule The material should be transported properly even at top sewing speed. No pressure marks should appear on the material. Fig. 13 - 17 O Turn the screw 1 according to the rule.
Adjustment Adjusting thread trimmer -900/56 Engaging solenoid .05.01 Rule 1. The bracket 1 should be fastened in the centre of its range and parallel to the right edge of the mounting plate. 2. The core of the solenoid 3 should protrude approx. 4 mm out of the magnet housing when the thread trimmer is in the neutral position.
Adjustment Control cam .05.02 (pre-calibrating) Rule 1. The control cam 1 should be positioned centrally to the bearing support cutout 5. 2. When the needle bar is at t.d.c., the screws 2 should be visible from the front and run parallel to the bed plate.
Adjustment Tripping lever spring mechanism .05.03 Rule It should be possible to push the tripping lever 3 approx. 1 mm in the direction of the bed plate when the thread trimmer is in the neutral position (spring mechanism). Fig. 13 - 20 O Turn the screw 1 (nut 2) according to the rule.

Adjustment Knife pressure .05.09 Rule The knife 1 should rest gently on the edge of the thread catcher if the front edge of thread catcher 3 is halfway past the cutting edge of the knife. Fig. 13 - 26 O Adjust the knife 1 (screws 2) according to the rule.
Adjustment Bobbin thread clamp spring .05.10 Rule 1. Do not allow the thread catcher 4 to compress the bobbin thread clamp spring 3 at any stage. 2. The bobbin thread should be securely clamped after the cutting operation. 3. It should be easy to insert and remove the bobbin from the hook. Fig.
Adjustment Control cam .05.11 (pre-calibrating) Rule The cutting movement should just have ended when the take-up lever is in its upper turn- ing point. Fig. 13 - 28 O Turn the control cam 1 (screws 2) according to the rule.
Adjustment Release lever .05.12 Rule There should be a clearance of approx. 1 mm between the tripping lever 3 and the release lever 5 when the bolt of the tripping lever 3 is dropped into the control cam track 4 and the needle bar is in b.d.c.
Adjustment Release rod .05.13 Rule 1. The bolt 3 should abut the lower end of the connecting rod 1 in the elongated hole when the presser foot rests on the needle plate. 2. The tension discs of the needle thread tension may not be separated from each other in this position.
Adjustment Adjusting lifting lever with subclass -911/97 Rule When the automatic presser foot lift is activated 1. The presser foot must lift 7 mm off the needle plate and 2. The tension discs of the thread tension must be 0.5 mm apart. Fig.
