A - INTRODUCTION

1 . B A S I C I N F O R M AT I O N

Sewing machine S-311 is determined to sew buttonholes for outwears. Buttonholes type are listed on page no. 1-6. The sewing machine S-311 is designed and produced to be simple for operation and very reliable. Important design goals have been made to provide a safe machine that is simple and inexpensive to maintain.

Sewing machine S-311 has four basic models: AF, CT, LTT and RDE. Each model can be combined with ACL, except the model RDE.

Special electronic and mechanical safety devices protect the operator and the machine. There is a special power lock out switch that permits the machine to be locked in the off position, so that it cannot be cycled accidentally. There is a low air pressure detector that will not permit machine operation if air pressure is dangerously low.

There are safety-warning labels on the machine in all areas that require special care. These must not be removed. If they are lost replace them immediately.

You are the most important safety equipment of all. Be sure you understand the proper operation of the machine. Never remove safety mechanisms or labels. We have made every effort to provide the safest possible machine, but without complete knowledge of how this machine operates, and the use of proper care by the operator, this machine can cause serious injury or death. That is why there are safety warnings throughout these instructions that carry one of these messages.

Machine types are listed in the table on the manual page no. 1-4, 1-5.

DANGER! Possible loss of life.

WARNING! Possible serious injury or machine damage.

NOTICE! Possible injury or machine damage.

We recommend that service workers from AMF Reece oversee the installation and initial training of your mechanics and operators.

The most effective safety precaution is a well-managed safety program. Be sure those who use this machine are properly trained. Never disable safety equipment.

Always wear safety goggles when operating or servicing the machine.

4.1.Lower belt of sewing mechanism drive is installed on machine head pulley during the transport. To access this pulley : loosen screw on drive belt cover , shift the cover aside and remove the cover. Then loosen two screws and screw of the drive belt cover .

4.2.To remove the cover , loosen the screw . It allows insertion of the panel with the Emergency Stop button, inside the cover.

4.3.After loosening the screws of the tension pulley , tighten the belt by moving the pulley. Tighten the screws again.

4.4.Check the tension by pressure approximately 10 N above the plate. The deflection of the belt should be approximately 10 mm.

4.5.After loosening the screws , it is possible to stretch the upper drive belt using the pulley .

4.6.Install the motor pulley cover and machine covers , . By turning the hand wheel check, whether the belts are clear from all covers.

5.1.Simple connection of air lines are made by quick connector. Socket 25 KEAK 13 (order number FESTO 151776 - marking KD 1/4 - S, order number RECTUS 38044) is used as standard. Unithas corresponding input .

Input pressure must minimally be 1 bar (0,1 MPa) greater than output pressure set on regulator. The manufacturer recommends addition of a shut-off valve so that it is possible to close the air supply.

5.2.After air connection check, set the air pressure on the dial of the regulator. It should be in the range 0.45-0.6 MPa. To correct it: pull the stopper out. To increase the set pressure turn clockwise, to decrease, turn counterclockwise. Tighten the stopper again. The pressure for the cutting cylinders is set to 0.4 MPa (4bar) from manufacturer by screw and loosening the nut . If a material is incorrectly cut, check the cutting steel and a pressure on the regulator .

N o t e : Set lower air pressure for short cutting steels and higher air pressure for long cutting steels.

5.3.Power supply must be 208 to 230 volts 1 phase, 50 or 60 hertz. Receptacle plug must meet requirements of IEC standard

364-4-41, its circuit breaker must be minimal 10A with characteristic C according to the EN 60947-2 (or 16A with characteristic B). No other devices must not be connected to the circuit breaker of the socket. The hand wheel must turn counter clockwise.

The machine is equipped with a filters which contain

capacitors which generate an high frequency leakage current. In order to prevent nuisance tripping, residual current

protection device must be protected against these high frequency currents: this is the case for industrial residual current device (example „S“ type).

5.4. To add the LED lights - the provided warranty does not refer to the LED diodes.
