2. Elements and their function

2.1 Elements at the machine head

Element function

Screw 1 – This screw for the sewing foot pressure is turned in

completely at the factory.

Therefore, do not change its adjustment!

Thread guide 2 – Depending on the material thickness, sewing thread

and stitch length, the position of the thread guide

must be adjusted such that controlled guiding of the

needle thread around the hook is assured.

When it is set at "0" the largest amount of thread is

released, as is required for very long stitches and

very thick material.

Turning knob 3 – Setting the additional tension engageable with lever

5 at the desired value.

Lever 4 – Opening the needle thread main tension and needle

thread additional tension.

Lever 5 – Activating and deactivating the additional tension.

To do this, unlock the lever by pulling it to the right,

and then change over.

Dial 6 – Set the "higher" foot stroke that has been activated

with the corresponding key or knee switch.

Dial 7 – Set the "smaller" foot stroke.

Sight glass 8 with

inlet opening – Indicating the oil level in the reservoir. The oil level

must not drop below "MIN". If necessary, fill the oil

ESSO "SP NK 10" into the oil reservoir up to the

mark "MAX".

Turning knob 9 – Setting the reverse stitch length.

Turning knob 10 – Setting the forward stitch length.

Hand lever 11 – Changing the stitch length infinitely between the

adjusted forward and reverse stitch length.

Turning knob 12 – Setting the needle thread main tension at the

desired value.

Lever 13 – Determining whether the needle thread main tension

is opened or closed while the foot is lifted.

Lever up: Tension opened

Lever down: Tension closed

Needle 14 – When changing the needle, always turn off

the main switch.

Otherwise there is danger of injury!

Locking button 15 – Locking the sewing foot in its lifted position.

Element function

Sight glass 7 with inlet

opening 6 – Indicating the oil level in the reservoir for the hook

lubrication.

The reservoir must never be empty.

– Tilt the machine head backwards and fill the oil

ESSO "SP NK 10" into the oil reservoir up to the

mark "MAX".

Control panel 5 – See the instruction manual of the motor

manufacturer.

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs)

1, 2, 3 and 4 – Indicating the maximum speed (number of stitches)

depending on the foot stroke and stitch length:

Active. LEDs Maximum speed

1 2 3 4 4000 rpm*

2 3 4 3000 rpm*

3 4 2000 rpm

* Smaller speeds are possible by the use of smaller

pulleys or by inputting the respective values at the

control panel.

Key block 13

Key 17 – Activate "intermittent tacking" within the seam to be

sewn - as long as the key is activated.

Key 16 – Alternate the needle between its upper position (2nd

position) and bottom position (1st position).

Key 15 – Free for special functions.

Key 14 – Activating the higher foot stroke that has been set

with the relevant dial.

– The different operating modes may be found in the

description of the knee switch 1 (page 10) that

activates the same function.

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs)

at the key block 13

LED 10 – Indicating "Sewing machine motor enabled".

With enabled sewing machine motor, needle

change, bobbin change, threading and

other work within the motion range of

elements are not permitted.

Otherwise there is danger of injury!

LED 8 and 9 – Indicating "Bobbin empty except for remaining

thread". (Only on machines with bobbin thread

monitor)

LED 11 and 12 – Indicating when the keys 14 and 15 are operated.

2.2 Elements at the stand

Elements function

Main switch 2 – Turning on and off the machine.

Pedal 3

Idle position – No function.

Position "half back" – Lifting the foot at machine standstill.

Position "completely

back" – Activating the thread trimmer and lifting the foot.

Positions "in front" – Sewing at the desired speed.

Knee switch 1 – This key has the same function as the key 14

(page 9) of the key block:

Activating a higher foot stroke.

– The operating mode

"Activation as long as the key is being operated"

"Activation until the key is being re-operated"

"Activation as long as the key is being operated and

until all input stitches are sewn"

depends on the input at the control panel.

Maintenance unit

Air filter and water

separator 8 – Before the water level reaches the filter, turn in the

drain screw 7 accordingly. While doing so, do not

interrupt the supply of compressed air.

Pressure regulator 9 – To adjust 6 bar pull up the sleeve 10 and turn it

accordingly.

Mist lubricator 6 – Adjust approx. 1 drop for 10 work cycles using the

set screw 4.

To refill, vent the pneumatic system, turn out the

screw 5 and refill the oil ESSO "SP NK 10" up to the

"groove".
