3.4.4 Setting of the rear and side guides With the sewing categories 300 and 400, it is possible to replace the front and the rear guides by one guide. This is a variant, where the use of the front and of the rear guides does not enable attaining a satisfactory stitch locking.
Thread tensioners and limiter 3.5.1 Description The main tensioners (1) serve for producing the thread tension when tightening stitches. The auxiliary tensioners (2) prevent the pulling out of the thread after having ended the thread trimming when removing the sewn material, when the threads are being passed through this material and when the main tensioners are relieved.
- In the rest state of the machine (with not relieved tensioner discs) set the lever (3) in turning it slightly on the shaft (4) to a position in which the roller (5) of the lever (3) is in contact with the slanting surface (6) of the lever (7) and is about 0.1 mm distant from the flat surface (8) of the lever.
3.6 Feeding mechanism of the needle feed and of the lower feed wheel 3.6.1 Description The feeding mechanism is formed by the leverage (1) which is driven from the main shaft through the eccentric with connection rod (2). The feeding motion is transmitted by the shaft (3) on the clutch of the bottom feed (7).
3.6.2.3b Forward and rearward stitch length distribution (fine) When setting the maximum length of the stitch, the forward and the rearward stitch length must be equal with the maximum error of ± 5 %. This setting can be done only after having set the needle bar holder in the direction of sewing (par.
3.6.3 Lower feed wheel 3.6.3.1 Feeding clutches 3.6.3.1.1 Description The feeding clutch is formed by the clutch cover (1) driven from the connecting bar (2), by the clutch star (4) driven from the connecting rod (3) and by the carrier plate (5) firmly connected with the shaft (6).
3.6.3.1.3 Setting of the lower eccentric The rotation of the eccentric (3) must be delayed in phase by 1/4 revolution against the rotation of the eccentric of the stitch length. This corresponds to the angle of 244° on the handwheel (1), when the setting pin (4) is put into the eccentric (3) which is in contact with the indented belt (5).
3.6.3.2 Wheel feeder and its post 3.6.3.2.1 Height setting of the feeder and tension- ing of the chain The wheel feeder (1) is to be set in such a way that the points of its teeth overtop the throat plate insert by X= 0.3 to 0.7 mm.
Feeding mechanism of the top roller 3.7.1 Description The starting movement for the drive of the top roller feeder is the bottom feeding shaft. From this shaft, the movement is transmitted by the indented belt (1) onto the top feeding shaft (2).
3.7.4 Setting the tensioning roller The tensioning roller of the indented belt of the top feeding is mounted in a rotary way on the bedplate. The belt must be ten-sioned as needed in such a way that there is ensured the correct function of the transmission.
3.7.6 Top roller 3.7.6.1 Selection of the top roller diameter The machine can be supplied with two types of top roller, namely with the diameter of 25 mm and with the diameter of 35 mm. The suitability of the diameter used depends on the type of sewing and on the concrete technological operation.
3.7.6.4 Replacement of the top roller When replacing the top roller, proceed as follows: Caution! Danger of injury! Switch off the main switch! Before starting the setting operation, wait until the motor stops! - Unscrew the screw (1). - Unscrew the screw (3) with the washer (2). - Remove the driven top roller with the holder (4) from the holder (5) and from the articulated shaft (6).
3.9 Bobbin winder 3.9.1 Description The winder (bobbin winder) winds a reserve of the hook thread. It is driven by a spring-mounted friction gear, which stops after having filled the bobbin. An ideal winding is attained with a sufficient pretension of the thread obtained on the thread guide (4) and with 1 mm under the diameter of the bobbin.
3.10 Safety clutch 3.10.1 Description The machine is provided with a safety clutch which enables the turning through of the lower belt wheel (1) on the hub of the lower shaft (2), when the hook is blocked. This blocking occurs due to the penetration of thread into the hook path. With current running, this clutch should not disengage during the normal running.
3.11.2 Replacing the indented belt To observe: in machines with Mini-stop first remove the driving toothed belt as instructed in par. 3.13. When replacing the indented belt, the mutual position of the pulleys (4 and 5) should be maintained. Caution! Danger of injury! Switch off the main switch! Before starting the setting operation, wait until the motor stops! - Remove the handwheel, the belt guard and the V-belt.
