Diagnostic
instructions
-
As
opposed
to
model
1130,
model
1230
is
equipped
with
a
service
programme.
The
service
programme
is
essen-
tially
designed
for
test
and
adjustment
tasks.
-
The
diagnostic
instructions
should
be
adhered
to
for
repair
work.
Reference
should
be
made
to
the
service
programme
for
adjustment
and
equalization
tasks.

(refer
to
print
L-4200)
Circuit
components
on
the
L-4200
power
print,
the
main
motor
and
the
cable
drum,
carry
dangerous
voltage
levels.
For
your
own
safety,
print
L-4200
should
only
be
touched
after
about
30
seconds
after
the
mains
voltage
has
been
switched
off,
which
is
the
time
required
by
the
capacitors
to
discharge after
the
mains
plug
has
been
removed.
Warning:
The
sewing
machine
may
only
be
connected
to
the
mains
supply
when
the chassis

or
the
auxiliary
cover
is
mounted.
Work
may
only
be
carried

when
the
mains
plug
has
been
withdrawn
from
the
mains
supply.
Electrically
isolated
low
voltages
(refer
to
print
L-4200)
Several
circuit
components
on
the
L-4200
print
operate
with
electrically
isolated
low
voltages
(40
V
or
less).
With
the
exception
of
the
power
print
L-4200,
the
main
motor
and
the
cable
drum,
the
other
modules
also
operate
with
elec-
trically
isolated
low
voltages!
There
is
no
danger
involved
in
touching
these
components
during
operation.
Warning!
The
following
should
be
additionally
observed
when
carrying
out
repair
and
adjustment
work:
-
Changing
from
the
service
programme
to
normal
operation,
and
vice
versa
is
only
possible
after
changing
the
position
of
the
service
switch
on
the
S-1230
print,
and
briefly
switching
off
the
mains
voltage.
-
The
following
adjustments
should
be
made
each time
a
S-1230

is
replaced:
Forward/reverse
feed:

0
Buttonholer:
