  • Page 21: Filling The Bobbin (Fig. 7)

    Filling the bobbin (Fig. 7) Fig. 7 shows how the thread should run when the bobbin is filled. Take care to avoid too much thread being wound on the bobbin or the upper and lower discs of the bobbin being forced apart. Fig.

  • Page 22: Thread Tension

    Fig. 8 Thread tension Depending on the quality, condition and thickness of the thread and the fabric , the thread tension is adjusted by means of the thread tension to the desired seam pattern . 4.5.1 Thread tensioning spring - needle thread (Fig. 9) The range of movement of the thread tensioning spring (3) can be limited or extended by slackening the right threaded pin (1) and turning the empty bobbin (2).

  • Page 23: Thread Tension - Bobbin Thread (Fig. 10)

    4.5.2 Thread tension - bobbin thread (Fig. 10) The leaf spring (2) regulates the bobbin thread tension. By turning the flat-head screw with catch (1), the leaf spring must be adjusted in such a way that when the bobbin is inserted, and the thread is correctly pulled under the leaf spring and the bobbin case is released, the latter, together with the bobbin drops slowly down.

Switch off machine electrically and confirm that the machine is really in standstill position by operating the treadle for the motor control before changing the needle. Otherwise danger of finger bruises and needle throughstitches.

  • Page 25: Stitch Depth

    Stitch depth Stitch depth means the distance between the highest plunger position and the outer radius of the needle. The plunger forces the sewn item from underneath into the needle plate opening, so that the needle penetrates the layers of material to the desired depth.

    Fig. 12 4.7.3 Changing the battery (Fig. 12) Bring the switch to 0 position. Open cover on the backside of the housing Change the battery - ATTENTION! Observe the polarity! Close cover. Plunger limit stop When felling fabrics, it is often necessary to sew through layers of material of varying thickness on the same article, while the depth of penetration of the needle as seen from the upper side of the fabric should remain the same.

  • Page 27: Thread Spreader

    4.10 Thread spreader Some of our felling machines are fitted with a thread spreader, permitting the formation of a cross-stitch (overcast stitch). When sewing without this device, a standard seam as shown in Fig. 16 is produced. If inserting points of thread spreader need to be changed and/or adapted to the machine, take care to bend the points only above the center, as the bottom half is hard.

  • Page 28: Inserting Thread Spreader (Fig. 13)

    4.10.2 Inserting thread spreader (Fig. 13) Place needle lever into highest position by turning hand-wheel. Introduce thread spreader from the left into sleeve (6). Take care that cylinder pin (7) catches into groove of piece (8). Push knurled screw from the right into sleeve (6) and tighten it firmly. Slip bolt (1) trough (2) and (4) and clamp it by means of screw (3).

    Operating the sewing machine (Fig. 14) A T T E N T I O N ! Switch off machine electrically and confirm that the machine is really in standstill position by operating the treadle for the motor control before changing the needle. Otherwise danger of finger bruises and needle throughstitches.

  • Page 30: Inserting And Removing The Sewn Item

    Inserting and removing the sewn item If, with the machine switched off, the needle is roughly 3 mm beyond its upper dead point, the gripping plate and plunger can move downwards by operating the knee lever. The needle thread tension is simultaneously vented. For pneumatic venting - see also point “4.12 Sewing drive”.

    Missed stitches (Fig. 15, Fig. 16, Fig. 17, Fig. 18) The correct double thread blind stitch with thread spreader is shown in Fig. 15. If the spreader does not hold, then the seam has the appearance of one from a double thread straight stitch machine. (Fig. 16) If the thread spreader does not hold correctly, in other words, it misses a stitch every now and again, then the stitch looks like the one illustrated in Fig.
