1. Product Description

1.1 Short Description and Proper Use

The 271 to 274 are flat single needle-double saddle stitch

sewing machines with thread trimming devices for

straight seams to stitch type 301.

Properly employed the machine may only be used for

sewing materials of textile fibre and garment leather.

271 with skipping bottom feed.

The machine has an automatic central oil wick lubrication

with oil reservoir as well as a seperate automatic hook

lubrication, also with oil reservoir. The oil levels are

visible through inspection glasses.

Through equipping with thread regulators the same

sub-classes, with appropriate choice of sewing device

and needle, can be used for sewing thick as well as thin

material.

The operation of the tension activation, the thread

trimming, the automatic bartack and the pressure foot lift

occur electro-magnetically. No compressed air is required

with the exception of classes 273, 274 and 272-740142.

For further technical characteristics and equipment for

each sub-class see under 1.2 Technical Data.

272 as 271, but with additional needle transport.

273 as 271, but with additional intermittent roller top feed.

The transport distance of the roller top feed is a max.

7mm. With an adjustment wheel at the front of the

machine arm it can be given a setting differing from the

bottom feed.

It has stable rpm up to a maximum number of stitches of

5500 stitches/min. This means constant stitch lengths as

well as smooth and unshifted seams even with quick rpm

changes.

Automatic lifting of the carrier roller by change over to

transport to the rear(bartack).

274 as 273, but with additional needle transport.

To 1: Max. stitch length for each sub-class

To 2: Thread trimming for needle and bobbin thread

To 3: Electro-magnetic automatic bartack. It is switched via the pedal and executes

the following functions: lowering the pressure foot, seam beginning and seam

end bartack, needle and bobbin thread trimming, raising the pressure foot.

To 4: Keys on the arm head:

- Needle high - low

- Bartack on - Bartack function switched off at the control panel

- Bartack suppressed - Bartack function switched on at the control panel

- Bartack within the seam

To 5: Edge cutter right, next to the needle. Switched on and off with the hHand lever

or, as optional equipment, electro-pneumatically via key. Depending on the

sewing unit (E-no.), the cutting interval is 3.5 ; 5.0 ; 8.0 or 10mm. Special

sewing devices are required for graduated cutting. The knife stroke is 5.5mm.

To 6: Edge cutter, but with seperate electric drive. Two cutting rpms can be switched

in.

To 7: Edge cutter, which cuts into the material edge crosswise during sewing, e.g. for

tension-free turning over of round neck openings, collars, arm holes, etc. The

cut occurs after every 6 stitches. On request after 4 stitches. The cut depth has

a max. of 15mm. It is adjustable up to about 1mm to the seam.
