WA R N I N G ! When the machine works, it is not disabled to give the fingers to the space between the machine table and machine head in marked place. When the working board moves, the clearance in this place is about 50 mm. If fingers are accidentally put into this place, it can occur very serious injury.

Front cover of the frame and lock screw of the folding rear cover, which disable tilting of the rear cover, are dismantled during transport. It is necessary to install these safety parts to the machine before the machine is switched on.

CAUTION! If it is necessary to lift the head out of the home position, it is necessary to tilt the folding front cover to the operator side, then put the head back. If this process is not kept, and the machine is switched on, the cover will be damaged.

The driving belt is placed under the right side cover.After its dismantling, loosen the pulley screw and adjust the V - belt pulley so that, so that during pushing on the front branch of the belt, there should be a sag about 25 mm (1”), as illustrated. Tighten the screw of the idler pulley.

For easy folding of the machine head, the pulley must be down with tilt min. 30° backwards. Install the removed cover again.

1 . P R E PA R I N G TO S E W

1.Read through all safety instructions and ensure all covers are installed.

2.Only Cord Trim - Check on the air pressure regulator that pressure is in range 4.5 - 5 bars (0.45 - 0.50 MPa), see note above the regulator.

3.Give oil to the manual oiling points and check the correct oil quantity in oil level indicator.

4.Check the needle and gimp threads are correctly threaded.

5.Before the first sewing, insert piece of fabric similar to sewing work under the clamp feet.

6.Insert the input cable into socket and by switching on of the operating switch (circuit breaker) switch the motor on.

7.Drive of the machine is activated by the table foot

pedal .

C A U T I O N ! To make sure the machine is sewing correctly, it is recommended to sew a few buttonholes on a scrap piece of material before sewing on a quality garment.

8.Insert the material under the clamp feet.

9.	To lower the clamp feet	, move the lever
	forward.
10.	Press the starting lever	, the clamp feet are
	automatically lowered.After the buttonhole is sewn
	and cut, the clamp feet are raised.
11.	If the emergency stop button		is pressed and held

during sewing, the clamp feet will not raise at the end of the sewing cycle and it is possible to sew the buttonhole again.

12.If it is necessary to interrupt the sewing cycle press

the stop lever . The machine will finish the cycle without sewing and the clamp foot will raise. (if the stop lever is pressed and then emergency stop is pressed the machine will finish the cycle without clamp raising. It is not valid for S 100 - CRB - see section G 7.

13.To stop the machine immediately in any place of sewing cycle, press foot pedal (by heel down the sewing cycle is stopped, by toe the sewing cycle is started.

14.To start the sewing cycle without sewing, lift the

lever and after the cycle is started, the machine makes cycle without sewing.

1.	Loosen needle locking screw and dismantle the original needle.
2.	Insert the new needle, so that the needle flat A is on opposite side from screw of the tension. Do
	not install a bent or broken needle. Roll the needle on a flat surface to check for straightens.
	The good quality needle does not have a deflection of the point.
3.	Tighten the needle locking screw well.

3 . THREADING

WA R N I N G ! Check if the operating switch (circuit breaker) is switched off.

Thread the thread, as illustrated.

The appearance and quality of the buttonhole may be affected by one or more of the following

-stitches density

-used thread strength, colour

-thread elasticity

-used sewn material

-tension of upper and lower thread

-used thread thickness

-width of stitches

D - MACHINE ADJUSTMENT

Wa r n i n g : When the machine is used for long time, the stitch density can be changed because of the running of the main cam brake and main shaft brake. That is why it is necessary to adjust the brakes.

A d j u s t i n g m a i n c a m b r a k e

The main cam brake controls the density of stitches which is adjust in chapter 2. It is a producer specification for setting the distance between stitches. Under normal use, the brake band will need to be adjusted again. The reason is to run in the brake band:

1.	Loosen the locking nuts .
2.	By rotating the nuts is moving the brake band	(in direction 4 to increase the break pressure,
	move the brake band in direction 3 to decrease the pressure).
3.	Tighten the locking nuts .

CAUTION! If the main cam brake pressure is excessively high, the machine may malfunction. The brake pressure is used for easy breaking of the main cam brake, so that the main cam brake is not moving itself by rotary inertia.

H E L P : Adjust the stitch density according to the chapter 2 to require density with loosen the brake. Then lightly pull the brake, so that the number of stitches increase maximally to one stitch of length of the buttonhole. This will ensure correct function of the brake.

The main shaft brake equalizes the stitch density of the buttonhole seam for the left and right-hand sides.

1.

Loosen the locking nut of the adjustment screw

in the main shaft brake .

2.Adjust the brake pressure to obtain equal stitch density between the stitches. Tighten the adjusting

screw . Rotating the adjusting screw clockwise, increases the brake pressure.

CAUTION! The main shaft brake is an auxiliary brake, used to obtain equalization of stitch density on the left and right-hand sides. If the main shaft brake pressure is excessively high, the machine components may malfunction.Adjust the lightest brake pressure as possible.

The mechanism is not used for machine S 100 - 052 and S 100 - 053.

1.	Loosen the clamp screw and move with the rod till , so that the needed sewing length on the
	dial rod is covered with the indicator mark .
2.	Tighten the screw .

The total length of the sewing L was just adjusted - see picture.

N o t e : The total sewing length is the sum of the: length of cutting plus the length of the bar. If the fly bar sewing is needed, it is necessary to change the length of the shape cam.

WA R N I N G ! When the length of buttonhole is changed, it is necessary to change also the cutting steel with appropriate length.
