NOTE!
All adjustments made by the adjusting disk are only correct when the
setting has been done in compliance with the rules. Following an
adjustment of the arm shaft, check and, if necessary , correct all the
following settings.
Caution: Danger of bodily injuries !
Turn off main switch !
Turn off the sewing machine before correcting the arm shaft position
Rule and control
The machine includes an integrated adjusting disk. It is flanged to the
toothed belt pulley on the arm shaft.
The basic position for the upper toothed belt pulley is defined in such a
way that, when tracing the crank by the tracing pin 3 or by the drill
shaft Ø 5 mm through the borehole X, the groove I of the adjusting disk
can be traced by the tracing pin 3 in the borehole Y.
The first fastening screw, seen in the direction of rotation of the pulley,
stands on the flat surface of the arm shaft (See the illustration).
The groove 2 and the incision I of the adjusting disk must be in
alignment X - Y.
–
Lock the arm shaft by a locking pin or by a pin of Ø 5 mm in
in the groove 2 of the arm shaft crank (through the hole X).
–
It should be possible to insert the locking pin through the hole Y in
pos. I.
Correction
–
Remove the bobbin winder lid 4.
–
Loosen the screws 6 of the toothed belt pulley.
Introduce the wrench through the arm opening.
–
Lock the toothed belt pulley by the locking pin in position I .
–
Insert a 5 mm thick pin into the tracing hole X and let snap the
groove of the arm shaft crank 2.
–
In the axial direction, the toothed belt pulley 5 must rest against
the cover pin.
Retighten the screws of the toothed belt pulley
(See the illustration p.4).

Rule and control
The loop stroke is the distance covered by the needle bar from the
12
0,1 mm
lower dead point up to the point where the hook tip coincides with the
middle of the needle.
The loop stroke amounts to 2,0 mm.
With the machine being locked in position I and with the stitch length
"0", the hook tip should coincide with the middle of the needle. For
determining the loop stroke position use the setting pin, contained in
the accessories. Introduce thed setting pin into the tracing hole and
turn the machine out of its lower dead point until the pin snaps into the
groove I of the arm shaft crank. This will be the proper loop stroke
position.
When the machine is locked in position I , the distance between the
hook tip 2 and the needle 1 should amount to 0,1 mm.
In the loop stroke position the needle should rest against the needle
guard sheet and should avoid a contact between the needle and the
hook tip..

Caution: Danger of bodily injuries !
Turn off main switch !
Turn off the sewing machine before opening the bobbin case.
Rule and control
The movement of the bobbin case lifter in relation to the hook
movement is determined by the eccentreic on the hook shaft..
The lifter finger 3 should turn the bobbin case 2 contrary to the
direction of rotation of the hook at the moment when the upper thread
loop, to be guided across the bobbin case, passes along the nose 1.
Set the lifter finger so that the bobbin case turns up to the middle of
the nose recess.
Correction
–
Loosen the screw 4.
–
Set the lifter finger 3 so that the bobbin case moves up to the
middle of the throat plate recess. If the travel of the bobbin case
lifter is excessive, undesired noises will be produced.

movements of the stitch forming elements.
The thread cutter is switched on by electromagnetic means.
14.1Adjusting the control cam
Rule and control
Set the control cam in the axial direction so that, with the tripping
sheet 1 resting against the stop 2, ,the roller bolt 5 can enter freely the
pitch-free area of the cam race. In the negative, reset the control cam
3 and the setting ring 4 in the axial direction. Finally, proceed to a new
adjustment of the control cam in the circumference direction according
to chapter 14.4. The setting ring 4, on the left of the control cam,
determines the axial position of the control cam.

Caution: Danger of bodily injuries !
Oil can cause skin rashes.
Avoid protracted contact with the skin.
Wash thoroughly after contact.
NOTE !
The handling and disposal of mineral oils are governed by legal
provisions.
Take used oil to an authorised acceptance point.
Protect the environment.
Take cdare not to spill any oil.
For replenishisng the oil supply containers, use exclusively the
ESSO SP-NK 10 oil or an equivalent quality oil with the following
specification:
–
Viscosity at 40° C : 10 mm
–
Flashspoint:150 °C
ESSO SP-NK 10 oil can be obtained from dürkopp adler ag outlets
under the following reference numbers
2-litre cointainer: 9047 000013
5 litre container: 9047 000014

Lubrication of wicks and felt parts
–
After long standstill periods lubricate slightly the wicks and the felt
parts.
Page 47
18.1Oil circulation
The oil passes from the supply container 2 to the felt 1 in the sewing
machine arm. This ensures the lubrication of the lubrication points in
the arm and head area.
The oil projected by the crank passes via the wick 3 to the central
distribution tube 5, for ensuring the lubrication of the parts under the
base plate. The excessive oil is returned via the felt to the oil collector
tray 4. This point ensures the lubrication of the hook driving wheels, of
the hook shafts and of the case lifter.
This system ensures an effective lubrication and a reduced oil
consumption.
Caution: Danger of bodily injuries !
Turn off main switch.
Turn off the sewing machine before proceeding to any work on the oil
circulation system.
NOTE !
Following any mounting work, reconnect properly the hose ends and
the wicks.
