Installation and putting into service Unpacking Strobel machines are supplied either as complete units with head, stand and motor, or head with motor only, or the head only. Due to the high weight and to avoid damages during transport, complete units are packed in several smaller cartons.
Sense of rotation The correct sense of rotation of the handwheel is clockwise (clockwise rotation). Motor drive via Toothed belts 3.4.1 Toothed belt tension (Fig. 2) C A U T I O N ! Danger of Injury! When checking the belt tension, switch off the machine at the mains.
3.4.2 Positions (Fig. 3, Fig. 4 und Fig. 5) C A U T I O N ! Danger of Injury! Danger of pulling in parts of clothing and of hair and danger of crushing fingers and stitching fingers with needles! When checking positions with switched-on machine keep fingers and hands away from moving parts.
Page 16
Needle position (with stop in and outside the seam (Fig. 4)): The needle position must be set in such a way, that when the machine is stopped, the hook of the thread knife catches the thread loop lying over the looper securely without touching the looper.
Machine operation Needles, threads and tapes The sewing quality can be influenced to a considerable extent by choosing the most suitable needles and threads for the material to be sewn. It is recommended to use controlled GROZ-BECKERT needles system 1669 EEO only. The machine is supplied with size 90/14 needles.
Fig. 6 Threading and thread course (Fig. 7) C A U T I O N ! Danger of Injury! Switch off machine electrically and confirm that the machine is really in standstill position by operating the treadle for the motor control before threading.
Thread tension (Fig. 7) Depending on thread and fabric quality, nature and thickness the thread tension is set by tension nut (1) (Fig. 7) Tape course, inserting the tape and tape exchange 4.5.1 Tape course (Fig. 8 and Fig. 9) C A U T I O N ! Danger of Injury! Keep fingers and hands away from movable parts when inserting the tape with the machine switched on.
4.5.2 Inserting the tape (Fig. 10) Proceed as follows to inserting the tape: Sewing machine is away from the stitch in pos. 2, sewing with tape is switched on and the lifting is open: Manually insert the tape up to the tape transport into the tape clamp and hold lightly.

Otherwise there is a danger of injury from crushing and needle punctures.
4.7.2 Setting the plunger limit stop for sewing over cross seams (Fig. 11) The cloth retainer stroke is set by means of a knurled nut (2) Fig. 11 which serves as upper limit stop. To set the stroke place the material (a normal fabric layer without cross seam).
Material feed 4.8.1 General The fabric is fed by means of a rigid upper feed. The feed (stitch length) is adjustable in 4 steps from 3 to 7 mm. Standard equipment is a saw-teethed feed dog which can be replaced by a pyramid-teethed feed dog. 4.8.2 Setting the stitch length (Fig.
Skip stitch 4.9.1 General The machine is equipped with a switchable skip stitch 1:2. The skip stitch principle bases on the repeated lowering of the plunger to an exactly set value (=skip-stitch depth). If the skip stitch is switched on, the needle penetrates the outer fabric layer every second (third) stitch only, i.e.
Operating the machine General C A U T I O N ! Danger of Injury! Please observe the sewing area carefully during sewing. Otherwise there is a danger of injury from crushing and needle punctures. Switching on Connect the compressed-air conditioner to the compressed air supplier (10 bar) or to the compressor and set it to 6 bar.
Operating modes 5.4.1 General The following work procedures are possible during sewing: “Sewing with tape“ and without “Stitch counting with tape“ “Sewing with tape“ and with “Stitch counting with tape“ “Sewing without tape“ and without “Stitch counting without tape“ “Sewing without tape“ and with “Stitch counting without tape“ “Sewing with tape“...
“Sewing without tape“ and without “Stitch counting without 5.4.4 tape“ (Fig. 10) Function sequence: Sewing speed dependent on pedal, controllable up to the set maximum speed (parameter F-111) with pedal position “≥1“. Intermediate halt with pedal position “0“. Intermediate lifting with pedal position “-1“. Seam end with automatic lifting with pedal position “-2“.
Operating and function of the control General The control is switched on and off by the S1 power switch, which is located on the right side of the machine, below the tabletop (Fig. 13). Fig. 13 Assignment and display of button functions on operating control V810 (Fig. 14) Fig.
Switchable button functions 6.2.1 General Switchable button functions can be changed by pressing a button. The switch status is saved and indicated by the assigned arrows over the respective button (refer to Fig. 14). The function is active until a renewed pressing of the button or an event changes the switch status.

Sewing with tape 6.4.1 Sew-up stitches, stitch end The following functions have an influence on the sew-up stitches at the stitch end: Function with operating control Parameter Number of stitches for sew-up stitches at stitch end F-002 This function sets the number of stitches for a sew-up stitch at the stitch end. Reducing or increasing the stitch number has the effect that the tape endis not sewed- up to the end or beyond the end.
Function with operating control Parameter Delay time, tape clamp (BK) “on” F-742 This function sets a delay time for the tape clamp “on” that becomes effective after the pedal position “-2” at the stitch end. That means that the tape clamp is not closed until after this delay time. 6.4.3 Tape cutter The tape cutter (BS) have the function of cutting the tape in the stitch after pedal...
Page 40
Function with operating control Parameter Delay time, tape feed motor (BVM) F-746 This function sets a delay time for the tape feed motor that becomes effective after the delay time of the tape blow device. The delay time needs to be set so that the tape feed motor does not start with the tape feed until the tape blow device has reliably established the “air stream”.
Page 41
Function with operating control Parameter On-time, tape feed motor (BVM) F-749 at tape feed “u-short” This function sets the on-time for the tape feed motor at a switch-off of the “sewing with tape” function in the stitch that becomes effective after the delay time of the tape feed motor.
Page 42
Function with operating control Parameter Difference time tape feed “u-short” and tape feed “u- F-750 forwards” to tape feed “u-normal” By this function a possible difference of the transported tape length can be evened out to the actual tape feed “normal” after a tape feed “u-short” and a tape feed “u-forwards”.
Page 43
Comment: The “u-backwards” tape feed is active when the “sewing with tape” function in the stitch is switched off outside the stitch. The parameter values or times for the “u-backwards” tape feed do not need to be entered separately. The values are determined automatically by the control as follows: Tape feed “u-backwards”...
