1 Product description

The DÜRKOPP ADLER 868 is a special sewing machine for universal

use.

·It is a flatbed double-lockstitch machine with bottom feed, needle

feed and alternating upper foot feed.

·Depending on the subclass it comes as single or double needle

automat, with or without electromagnetic thread cutter, with or

without edge trimmer.

·Equipped with a large or oversized two-piece vertical hook.

·With a maximum of 20 mm fabric clearance when sewing feet are

lifted.

·A safety clutch prevents a changing of the hook setting or a hook

damage in the case of a thread deflection into the shuttle track.

·Automatic wick lubricating with an inspection glass on the arm for

machine and hook lubrication.

·Integrated winder.

2 Designated use

The 868 class is a sewing machine designed for sewing light to

medium-heavy material. Such material is generally made of textile

fibers, but it may also be leather. It is used in the clothing industry and

for domestic and motor-vehicle upholstery.

This special sewing machine can also be used to produce so-called

technical seams. In this case, however, the operator must assess the

possible dangers which may arise (with which DÜRKOPP ADLER AG

would be happy to assist), since such applications are on the one

hand relatively unusual and, on the other, so varied that no single set

of criteria can cover them all. The outcome of this assessment may

require appropriate safety measures to be taken.

Generally only dry material may be sewn with this machine. The

material may be no thicker than 10 mm when compressed by the

lowered sewing feet. The material may not contain any hard objects,

since if it does the machine may not be operated without an

eye-protection device. No such device is currently available.

The seam is generally produced with textile-fibre sewing thread of

gauge up to 11/3 NeB (cotton), 11/3 Nm (synthetic) or 11/4 Nm

(covering yarn).

Before using any other thread the possible dangers arising must be

assessed and appropriate safety measures taken if necessary.

This special sewing machine may be set up and operated only

in dry, well-maintained premises. If the sewing machine is used in

premises which are not dry and well-maintained it may be

necessary to take further precautions, which should be agreed upon in

advance (see EN 60204-31:1999).

As manufacturers of industrial sewing machines we proceed on the

assumption that personnel who work on our products will have

received training at least sufficient to acquaint them with all normal

operations and with any hazards which these may involve.
