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 electric supplies before all adjustment work! Risk of injury due to accidental machine start-up! Notes on adjustment...
Adjustment Adjusting basic machine Needle position to needle hole .04.01 Rule The needle should pierce the centre of the needle hole exactly. Fig. 13 - 01 O Loosen the screws 1, 2 and 3. O Move the needle directly over the needle hole by turning the handwheel. O Move the needle bar frame 4 according to the rule.
Adjustment Needle height .04.02 (pre-calibrating) Rule When the needle bar is in b.d.c., the clearance between the needle bar and stitch platen should be 23 mm. Fig. 13 - 02 O Adjust the needle bar 1 (screw 2) without twisting according to the rule.
Adjustment Hook-to-needle clearance, needle bar rise, needle height and needle guard .04.03 Rule With the needle rise positioned 1.8 mm after b.d.c. of the needle bar: 1. the hook point should be at the needle midpoint and have a clearance of 0.05 to 0.1 mm to the needle.
Adjustment Presser stroke movement .04.04 Rule The presser foot 3 and the tip of the needle should reach the stitch platen at the same time when turning the handwheel. Fig. 13 - 04 O Slide the lever 1 (screw 2) in its slotted lever until you feel it reach the upper stop. O Lower the presser foot 3 onto the stitch platen.
Adjustment Presser stroke .04.05 Rule 1. When the needle bar is in b.d.c., there should be a clearance of 172 mm between the clamp 1 and the stitch platen. 2. The presser foot 5 should lift 20 mm off the stitch platen in its upper turning point at maximum stroke adjustment.
Adjustment Needle thread tension release .04.06 Rule 1. The tension discs should start to open with the thread lever positioned 10 mm before t.d.c. 2. When the thread lever is at t.d.c., there should be a clearance of 1.0 mm between the tension discs.
Adjustment Switching off the needle thread tension release .04.07 Rule 1. There should be a clearance of approx. 0.5 mm between the lever 1 and the tension disc 4 when the tension discs are closed. 2. The nut 5 should abut the stop 2 in the basic position of the solenoid 7. 0.5 mm Fig.
Adjustment Thread check spring .04.08 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 and downwards for reasons relating to the sewing technology.
Adjustment Bobbin winder .04.09 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 .04.10 Rule The material should be transported properly even at top sewing speed. No pressure marks should appear on the material. Fig. 13 - 10 O Turn the screw 1 according to the rule.
Adjustment Adjusting thread trimmer -900/51 Control cam .05.01 (pre-calibrating) Rule When the needle bar is in b.d.c., the groove 4 of the control cam 2 should stand vertical under the feed regulator pin 5. Fig. 13 - 11 O Loosen the screws 1 through the hole in the machine housing. O Move the thread lever to b.d.c.
Adjustment Tripping lever height .05.02 Rule When the needle bar is in b.d.c., there should be a clearance of 1.0 mm between the tripping lever 3 and the control cam 4. 1 mm Fig. 13 - 12 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 When the needle bar is in b.d.c., the feed regulator pin 5 should be able to drop easily into the control cam track 7 when the engaging solenoid 6 is activated. Fig. 13 - 13 O Move the needle bar to b.d.c.
Adjustment Engaging solenoid .05.04 Rule When the needle bar is in b.d.c., and the field core 1 is activated up to the stop, there should be a clearance of approx. 0.5 mm between the pawl 4 and the retaining collar 5. 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 When the needle bar is in b.d.c., the thread catcher tip 4 should point exactly at the middle of the needle. Fig. 13 - 17 O Remove the blade 1 (screws 2). O Move the needle bar to b.d.c. O Activate the field core 3 manually and turn the handwheel until the needle bar is positioned at t.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 Blade .05.09 Rule If the rear edge of the thread catcher cutout is 1 mm in front of the blade edge, the left blade edge should be flush with the thread catcher edge (see arrow in circle). Fig. 13 - 19 O Unscrew the blade 1 (screws 2).
Adjustment Test cut .05.10 Rule The blade should be parallel to the thread catcher and both threads must be cut properly. Fig. 13 - 20 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.
O The "DongleCopy" PC tool is needed to upload software onto the dongle. A description of how to perform an Internet update of control P40 CD as well as the "DongleCopy" PC tool can be downloaded from the Internet address https://partnerweb.pfaff-industrial.com/.
