The illustrations in this Operating manual relate to various subclasses of the
special sewing machine !
Please bear in mind that your special sewing machine may be different from the
machine illustrated !
1.Product description
The DÜRKOPP ADLER 767 is a special sewing machine with universal applications.
Flat-bed double-stitch sewing machine with lower conveyor, needle transport and
·
alternating upper foot conveyor.
Subclasses available: one or two needles, with or without edge cutter and with or
·
without thread trimmer beneath the stitch plate.
Single-needle machines are convertible to double-needle machines.
(not 767-AE-73 / 767-AE-5-73)
All subclasses have device racks in the base plate for the rapid replacement of
·
various devices. (not 767-AE-73 / 767-AE-5-73)
Maximum clearance beneath lifted sewing feet: 16 mm
·
(with -AE and -LG max. 13 mm).
Stroke of alternating sewing feet adjustable with adjusting wheel by up to 7 mm.
·
Automatic non-pressurised oil-circulating lubrication with sight glasses for oil level
·
and oil circulation. Integrated hook lubrication.
Large, two-piece vertical hook with spool-housing lifting device.
·
Oversized, two-piece vertical hook with spool-housing lifting device.
·
A safety coupling prevents the hook from being displaced or damaged if the thread
·
jams in the hook track.
2.Designated use
GB
The designated use of the 767 sewing machine is sewing light to medium-heavy
materials. Such material is generally made of textile fibres, but it may also be leather. It
is used in the clothing industry and for domestic and motor-vehicle upholstery.
This 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, they are 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 c urrently available.
The seam is generally produced with textile-fibre sewing thread of gauge 11/3 Ne
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 sewing machine may be set up and operated only in dry, well-maintained premises.
If the sewing machine is used in other premises which are not dry and well-maintained it
may be necessary to take further precautions (which should be agreed in advance - see
EN 60204-31: 1999).
As manufacturers of industrial machinery 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.

Threading upper thread (needle thread)
–
Place the thread spool on its column and pass the thread through the guide eyelets
of the take-up arm.
–
Pass the thread through guide 7 and anti-clockwise round pre-tensioner 8. Pass
thread once more through guide 7.
–
Pass the thread round guide 11 and anti-clockwise round main tensioner 10. Pass
the thread clockwise round main tensioner 12.
10
–
Pass the thread clockwise round tension unit 4, past thread-tensioning spring 3 and
through guide 2.
–
Pass the thread through thread lever 1 and through guides 2, 5 and 6.
–
Pass the thread through the needle, pull a few centimetres of thread through and
cutitoff.
Threading the upper thread (2-needle machines)
Sewing machines with 2 needles are threaded similarly to single-needle machines.
The differences can be seen in the illustration.
The thread-tensioning unit 13 is a double unit and can thus be used on both 1 and
2-needle machines.
Adjusting the upper-thread tensioner
Tension should be as low as possible. The cross-over point should be in the centre of
the material.
–
Adjusting the pre-tensioner 8.
The pre-tension should be set lower than the main tension.
–
Adjusting main tensioner (10 and 12).
Raising the upper-thread tensioner
The upper-thread tensioner is automatically raised when the thread is severed.
–
Press knob 9.
Die upper-thread tensioner remains in the raised position for as long as the knob is
held down.
5.2Adjusting the thread regulator
The thread regulator 14 regulates the amount of needle thread necessary for stitch
formation.
The setting depends on the following factors:- material thickness
A properly-adjusted thread regulator ensures an ideal sewing result at a minimum
needle-thread tension.
At the correct setting the needle-thread loop must slide at low tension over the thickest
point of the shuttle.
- yarn characteristics
- stitch length
GB
Caution - danger of injury!
Turn off the main switch. The thread regulator may only be
adjusted with the sewing machine switched off.
–
Undo both screws 15.
–
Move the thread regulator 14.
The thread regulator is fitted with slots for this purpose.
Moving in the “+” direction increases the quantity of needle thread.
Moving in the “-” direction reduces the quantity of needle thread.
–
Tighten screws 15.

5.3Lower thread
Look out! Danger of injury!
Turn off main switch!
The lower thread may only be threaded with the sewing
machine switched off.
Threading the low er thread (hook thread)
–
Place the thread spool on its column.
–
Pass the lower thread through the thread guide on the take-up arm and alternately
through the guide of the pre-tensioner 1.
–
Pass the thread anti-clockwise round tensioner 1 and once more through the thread
guide.
–
Carefully wind a few turns of thread anti-clockwise onto the spool by hand and
place the spool on its column.
–
Swivel the bobbin winder 4 against the empty spool.
The thread is wound onto the spool during sewing.
When spool 3 is full, winding-on is halted by the bobbin-winder lever 4.
–
Adjusting tension 1.
The thread should be wound on at minimum tension.
Threading the low er thread
–
Raise flap 5 and remove the empty spool with a magnet or tweezers.
–
Insert spool 6 in such a way that when the thread is unwound from it moves in the
opposite direction to the hook.
–
Pass the thread through slit 7 and below spring 10.
–
Pass the thread through slit 8 and pull about 3 cm through.
–
Close flap 5 and pass the thread through the flap’s guide 9.
Adjusting the lower-thread tension
The lower-thread tension should be set in accordance with the type of seam required.
Adjust the tension with screw 11.
