  • Page 99 Starting the Machine The procedure of starting the CAED machinel is the same like for the machine BH of the model S-4000. See the page 1-13 for more instructions. Edge of the material must be minimally aligned with the center line of the needle slot in the throat plate and the reflective tape of the fibre optic must be covered.
  • Page 100 S-4000 CAED ADJUSTMENT Second Row of Stitches Sewing of the second row of stitches starts at the moment when the material uncoveres the reflective tape, from which the signal given by the fibre optic is reflected back, the air cylinder, activated by engagement of an electromagnetic valve, perform shift.
  • Page 101 S-4000 CAED ADJUSTMENT Cut Knife to the Throat Plate Ensure the machine is in the home position and loosen both adjusting studs for cutting. Rotate the stud on the left side clockwise to move the knife further from the throat plate. Rotate the stud on the right side to move the knife closer to the throat plate.

  • Page 106 CAED ADJUSTMENT Sew Off The S-4000 CAED model features uniform stitching and a crips, clean cut, after the tack is sewn and trimmed. Several machine areas affect the quality appearance of the finished tack and cut. Stitch Density - The number of stitches within a given length. An increased number of stitches may give the tack a greater quality appearance.
