Needle Information; Changing The Needles; Movable Upper Cutter; Disengaging, Position B - Pfaff Coverlock 3.0 Owner's Manual

Needle information

This overlock uses a at shank industrial needle that
eliminates the possibility of inserting the needle backwards.
Do not attempt to use a standard household sewing machine
needle of any size or type in this overlock.
Use INSPIRA™ needle EL x 705 sizes 14/90 and 12/80,
supplied with this machine.

Changing the needles

Turn off the main power switch and unplug the machine.
• Turn the handwheel toward you until the needles are at
the highest position.
• Place a thick piece of fabric under the presser foot. Lower
the needles halfway into the fabric.
• Loosen, but do not remove the needle clamp screw with
the allen key while you are holding the needles.
Note: When inserting needles into the A and/or B needle clamps it
is necessary to loosen the needle clamp screws for both A and B.
• Remove the selected needle.
• Hold the new needle with the at surface to the back.
• Insert the needle into the needle clamp as far as it will go.
• Securely tighten the needle clamp screw using the allen
key.
Note: Do not over-tighten the screw as this may cause the needle
clamp to be damaged.
