Operation Upper thread Caution! Danger of injury! Turn off main switch! The upper thread may only be threaded with the sewing machine switched off. Threading upper thread (needle thread) – Place the thread spool on its column and pass the thread through the guide eyelets of the take-up arm.
– Pass the thread clockwise round tension unit 4, past thread-tensioning spring 3 and through guide 2. – Pass the thread through thread lever 1 and through guides 2, 5 and 6. – Pass the thread through the needle, pull a few centimetres of thread through and cut it off.
Lower thread Look out! Danger of injury! Turn off main switch! The lower thread may only be threaded with the sewing machine switched off. Threading the lower thread (hook thread) – Place the thread spool on its column. – Pass the lower thread through the thread guide on the take-up arm and alternately through the guide of the pre-tensioner 1.
Changing the needle Look out! Danger of injury! Turn off main switch! The needle may only be threaded with the sewing machine switched off. – Turn the handwheel until the needle bar has reached its uppermost position. – Undo screw 1. –...
Sewing-foot stroke The height of the sewing-foot stroke is set with adjusting wheel 1. Machines without FA (without Thread Trimmer) On these machines the speed of rotation is not checked. Please comply with the note and table below. Machines with FA (with Thread Trimmer) The sewing-foot stroke and stitch rate are interdependent.
Sewing-foot pressure The required sewing-foot pressure is set with rotary knob 1. – to increase sewing-foot pressure = turn knob 1 clockwise to decrease sewing-foot pressure = turn knob 1 anti-clockwise. Stitch length The required stitch length is set with rotary knob 2. –...

Control unit and operating panel IMPORTANT ! This manual covers only those key functions and parameter changes available to the operator. For a more detailed description of the control unit please consult the motor manufacturer’s current Operating manual (supplied). The operating panel is used to program the control unit and to set seam functions. Depending on the nature of the job, sewing may be executed manually or by seam programming.

Changing parameter values CAUTION! After changing parameters it is essential to carry out a sewing run. Only then is the altered setting properly saved. If sewing does not take place, the new setting is lost when the main switch is turned off. Parameters are changed and switched on and off with the “P”, “E”, “+”...

3 (4) Sewing process Operation/explanation At start of seam Sew starting lock-stitch and - Push pedal forwards and hold it there. continue The starting lock-stitch is sewn. Sewing then continues at the speed of rotation determined by the pedal. - Push pedal forwards briefly. Sew only starting lock-stitch The machine halts in the 1st position after the starting lock-stitch.
Page 30
Sewing process Operation / Explanation Transfer-seam over-sewing - Operate knee switch. The speed of rotation is restricted to 2 000 stitches/min. - Pull pedal fully back and hold it there. At the end of the seam The finishing lock-stitch is sewn. The thread is cut off.
Maintenance Caution! Danger of injury! Turn off main switch! Maintenance may only be carried out with the sewing machine switched off. Maintenance work must be carried out no less frequently than at the intervals given in the tables (see “operating hours” column). Maintenance intervals may need to be shorter when processing heavy-shedding materials.
Page 32
Maintenance work Explanation Operating to be carried out hours Places in special need of cleaning: Upper part of machine - area under the needle plate 1 - feeders - Remove lint, pieces of - area around the shuttle 2 thread and other cutting - upper part of bobbin housing 3 waste.
Lubrication (until July 2003) (from August 2003) Check the oil level at the sight glass 2 every week. Top up the oil reservoir only with DA-10 oil or an equivalent oil with the following specification: – Viscosity at 40° C : 10 mm –...
10. Optional equipment 10.1 Residual-thread monitor RFW 13-3/RFW 13-6/RFW 13-8/RFW 13-9 The residual-thread monitor monitors the amount of thread in the shuttle bobbin. An acoustic signal is sounded when only a small amount of thread is left. The operative can finish the seam and fit a new spool. This avoids material damage and thus any need for repairs.
Page 35
Caution! Danger of injury! Turn off main switch! The shuttle bobbin must not be changed unless the machine is switched off. – Change the bobbin. A new seam can now be sewn. IMPORTANT ! The bobbin must be put in place with the groove 2 facing downwards.
10.2 2nd stitch length STLS 13 - 2 The facility to activate a 2nd stitch length makes it possible to switch rapidly from the assembly seam to the subsequent overstep seam. The 1st or 2nd stitch length is selected with the keys on the sewing arm. The 2nd stitch length is always smaller than the 1st.

10.2.1 Integrated second stitch length The subclasses 767-FAS-373-RAP-HP, 767-FAS-573-RAP-HP, 767-KFA-373-RAP-HP, 767-KFA-573-RAP-HP, 767-FAS-473-RAP-HP are equipped with a second stitch length. Herewith it is possible to activate a shorter second stitch length just via a switch. Both stitch lengths are defined by means of the two setting wheels 1 and 2. –...
10.3 Electro-pneumatic rapid stroke adjustment HP 13 - 7 The sewing-foot stroke and stitch rate are interdependent. A potentiometer is linked mechanically with the adjusting wheel. By means of this potentiometer the control unit detects what foot-stroke has been set and restricts the speed of rotation accordingly. The values are given in the table on page 17.
10.4 Upper and lower conveyor rollers SP 470 The removal of the material by the upper and lower conveyor rollers after sewing ensures a smooth and uniform product. The speed with which the material is removed can be exactly matched to the stitch length.
10.5 Automatic lowering WTA 13 - 2 This is an optional item to go with the upper and lower conveyor rollers. It enables the stitches to be adjusted from the beginning of the seam to the automatic lowering of the upper roller.
10.6 Additional tension 10.6.1 Additional tension FS 13-1 The classes 767-FAS-373-RAP-HP, 767-FAS-573-RAP-HP, 767-KFA-373-RAP-HP, 767-KFA-573-RAP-HP can be equipped with a pneumatic additional tension FS 13-1 (for 2 needle machines with pneumatic additional tension - on request). Prerequisite is the sewing drive DC1600 / DA82GA. 10.6.2 Operation If required, the pneumatic additional tension can be engaged or disengaged at any...

Stroke adjustment by setting adjustment via knee switch wheel when the HP-speed of parameter F-117 is reached (Speedomat) F-197 = 0 F-197 = 1 F-197 = 2 0 (*)
10.7 Seam center guide (only if 767-E74/... existing) 10.7.1 General In order to operate the seam center guide the sewing drive DC1600/DA82GA is required. The seam center guide serves as guiding aid for topstitching operations. It guides the center of two parallel seams to ensure an equal distance to the left and the right needle. Support pressure of the stop guide for the seam center guide ATTENTION ! The maximal pressure for the seam center guide should not...
Page 44
10.7.2 Working method and parameter adjustment of the seam center guide (in conjunction with sewing drive DC1600/DA82GA only) When the machine is switched off, the seam center guide is down (= on). Immediately after the machine has been switched on the seam center guide is always up (= off). The seam center guide can be switched on and off at any time by means of key 5 (see operating instructions) of the 5-key-panel at the machine.

11.4 Thread clamp (Thread feeding device) With the thread clamp and the relevant electronic components, the thread is pulled downward and swallowed up while sewing on. In order to avoid a thread breakage (the thread can get jammed between the sewing foot and material) the sewing foot is briefly relieved.
