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.
Index Page: Preface and general safety hints Part 1: Operating Instructions Class 530 (Edition 06/2008) Description of product ......... . Description of proper use .
Description of product The Dürkopp Adler 530 is a CNC double lockstitch automat for button sewing. The available button patterns are adjustable in length, width and speed and can be memorized in their modified form. It is also possible to create “free” sewing patterns (by programming). The button sewing automat is equipped with automatic sewing foot lifts, thread trimmer, thread retractor and integrated DC direct drive.
Description of proper use Class 530 is an button sewing automat 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 button sewing automat can also sew so-called technical seams.
Operating 7.1 Threading needle thread Caution: Danger of injury ! Switch off main switch ! Thread the needle thread only when the button sewing automat is switched off. – Put thread reels on the thread reel holder and conduct needle thread and bobbin thread through the unwinding arm.
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 button sewing automat 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. –...
7.7 Adjust bobbin thread tension Caution: Danger of injury ! Switch off main switch ! Adjust bobbin thread tension only when the button sewing automat 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 button sewing automat is switched off. – Loosen screw 1. – Push new needle into the drill-hole of needle bar 2 as far as it will go.
7.9 Button shank shaper The button clamp of the button sewing automat is equipped with a button shank shaper 1. Swinging in/out of button shank shaper – Swing manually in or out the swivelling lever 2 with button shank shaper while button clamp is lifted. Adjust button shank length –...
7.10 Setting the hook feet of button clamp Caution: Danger of injury ! Set the button clamp while the button sewing automat is switched on with utmost caution only. The button should be easily pushed and aligned between the hook feet of the button clamp.
