CAUTION:
The mains voltage must coincide with the rated voltage specified on
the name plate.
The machine adapts the local mains voltage via connection terminals 1
to 5 and A to D of the transformers in the control box.
Both the transformer terminals are factory-set to a mains voltage of
230 V.
For different mains voltages the terminals must be connected as
follows:
Strip terminal 2:
Voltage blue brown-and-white
200V A B
230V A C
240V A D
On strip terminal 5 the brown-and-white and blue-and-white wire
jumpers must be changed. Both connection terminals are given in the
5
table.
Example:
“L-4" means place the wire jumper between terminals L and 4.
Strip terminal 5:
Voltage brown-and-white blue-and-white
190V L - 4 N - 3
200V L - 4 N - 2
210V L - 4 N - 1
220V L - 5 N - 3
230V L - 5 N - 2
240V L - 5 N - 1
–
Undo screws 3.
–
Carefully remove the cover 4.
–
Check the configuration of the connections to the transformer
plug strips.
–
If necessary change the connections in line with the mains
voltage.
–
Re-attach the cover 4 with screws 3.

5. Pneumatic connection
5.1 Connecting the maintenance unit
1
2
The pneumatic system of the machine and its auxiliary equipment must
be supplied with compressed air containing absolutely no water or oil.
CAUTION:
For the pneumatic control processes to function properly the
compressed-air supply must be able to provide air at a pressure
of 6 ± 0.5 bar.
The compressed-air should be clean (oil-free).
2
Pneumatic connection pack
A pneumatic connection pack (item no. 0797 003031) is available for
frames with compressed-air maintenance units.
It contains the following components:
–
5-metre connection hose (Ø=9mm)
–
hose nozzles and ties
–
R 1/4" plug-and-socket connector with cover
5.2 Setting the operating pressure
The machine’s operating pressure is 6 bar.
It can be read off at the pressure gauge 2.
–
To adjust the operating pressure pull up and rotate the handle 2:
Clockwise = to increase pressure
Anti-clockwise = to decrease pressure.

Caution: danger of injury
Oil can cause skin eruptions.
Avoid protracted contact with the skin.
In the event of contact, thoroughly wash the affected area.
6.1 Filling the oil reservoirs
CAUTION:
The handling and disposal of mineral oils is subject to legal regulation.
Deliver used oil to an authorised collection point.
Protect your environment. Take care not to spill oil.
Use only ESSO SP-NK 10 lubricating oilor an equivalent oil of the
following specification:
–
viscosity at 40°C: 10 mm²/s
–
flashpoint: 150° C
This oil is available from DÜRKOPP ADLER AG retail outlets
under the following part numbers:
2-litre container: 9047 000013
5-litre container: 9047 000014
–
Top up oil reservoirs 2 and 4 to the “max” mark through filler
holes 1 and 3.

7. Sewing test
A sewing test must be carried out when setting-up is complete.
–
Insert the mains plug.
Caution: danger of injury
Turn off the main switch.
The needle, looper and gimp threads may only be threaded with the
sewing machine switched off.
–
Thread the looper thread (see Operating instructions).
–
Thread the needle thread (see Operating instructions).
–
On subclasses with gimp, thread the gimp thread
(see Operating instructions).
–
Turn on the main switch.
–
Insert the material to be sewn.
–
Select a buttonhole shape and begin sewing, initially at low speed
(see Operating instructions).
–
Gradually increase the speed.
–
Check that the buttonhole meets requirements.
If not:
–
Alter the thread tension (see Operating instructions).
