Foreword This instruction manual is intended to help the user to become familiar with the machine and take advantage of its application possibilities in accordance with the recommendations. The instruction manual contains important information on how to operate the machine securely, properly and economically. Observation of the instructions eliminates danger, reduces costs for repair and down-times, and increases the reliability and life of the machine.
General safety instructions The non-observance of the following safety instructions can cause bodily injuries or damages to the machine. 1. The machine must only be commissioned in full knowledge of the instruction book and operated by persons with appropriate training. 2.
Description of product The Dürkopp Adler 510 is a CNC automate for bartacking seams and short seams. The available standard bartacks are size-adjustable and can additionally be memorized in this modified shape. Free seam contours can be programmed directly at the control panel without any further devices.
Description of proper use Class 510 is an automatic bartacker determined for processing light to medium-weight material, i.e. fabrics made of textile fibres or leather. Such sewing materials are used in the clothing industry and for the production of home and car upholstery. Furthermore, this automatic bartacker can also sew so-called technical seams.
Optional equipment The following optional equipment is available for the automatic bartacker 510: Order No. Optional equipment see Spare Parts List Special clamping foot set (optional/special manufacture, APC) ” 0510 59 004 4 Laser marking light (3 lights) 0510 59 003 4 Additional laser light 0510 59 005 4 Push button...
Operating 7.1 Threading needle thread Caution: Danger of injury ! Switch off main switch ! Thread the needle thread only when the automatic bartacker is switched off. – Put thread reels on the thread reel holder and conduct needle thread and bobbin thread through the unwinding arm. The unwinding arm must be positioned vertically above the thread reels.
7.2 Adjust needle thread tension Pretension 3 With open main tension 2 a minor residual stress of the needle thread is required. The residual stress is produced by the pretension 3. At the same time the pretension 3 influences the length of the cut needle thread end (initial thread for the next seam).
7.4 Adjust thread regulator Caution: Danger of injury ! Switch off main switch ! Adjust thread regulator only when the automatic bartacker is switched off. The thread regulator 3 controls the needle thread quantity required for the stitch formation. Only a precisely adjusted thread regulator guarantees an optimum sewing result.
7.5 Wind on bobbin thread – Put bobbin on bobbin winder 4. – Pull thread through guide 2 and around tension 1. – Wind thread counter-clockwise around the core of the bobbin (approx. 5 times). – Press winder lever 3 into the bobbin. –...
7.6 Change hook thread bobbin Caution: Danger of injury ! Switch off main switch ! Change hook thread bobbin only when automatic bartacker is switched off. Take off empty bobbin – Pull down hook cover 3. – Lift bobbin case cover 1. –...
7.7 Adjust bobbin thread tension Caution: Danger of injury ! Switch off main switch ! Adjust bobbin thread tension only when the automatic bartacker is switched off. The required bobbin thread tension is to be produced by tension spring 1. The top of bobbin case 3 should drop slowly due to its own weight when being held at the threaded-in bobbin thread.
7.8 Change needle Caution: Danger of injury ! Switch off main switch ! Change needle only when the automatic bartacker is switched off. – Loosen screw 1. – Push new needle into the drill-hole of needle bar 2 as far as it will ATTENTION ! The hollow groove 3 of the needle must point to the hook.
