Danger of bodily injuries !
Please note also the general safety instructions.
IMPORTANT WARNING
In spite of all safety measures made on the machines, inappropriate actions of the operator may lead to dangerous situations. In
industrial sewing machines Minerva, attention should be paid to the following still remaining possible sources of injury:
1. Moving sewing needle
- risk of injury when sewing with raised pressure foot or top roller, because the finger guard is then positioned too high.
2. Moving thread take-up lever
- risk of injury when inadvertently or intentionally inserting the finger(s) between the thread take-up lever and its guard.
3. Moving pressure member
- risk of injury when holding sewn work in immediate vicinity of the pressure member and beginning to insert under the
pressure member a considerably thicker sewn work portion,
- risk of injury when sinking the pressure member.
4. When switched off, the clutch motor slows down by inertia but would be reactivated by an accidental treading down of the
motor treadle. To avoid such risk, it is advised to hold the handwheel by hand and slightly to depress the motor treadle.
2. Introduction
This service book contains instruction for regulating the mechanisms of the sewing machine head.
The instructions for use and for putting the machine into operation and for the control of the stopmotor are not included in this
service book, but they are supplied as separate publications.
This service book is universal for all subclasses of the machine - it contains setting procedures for all elements which may be
placed on the machine of the given class. When the supplied subclass of this machine does not include some element, then it is
possible to leave out the respective parts of the instructions. The optional equipments of the machine and the respective
configurations of the subclasses of the machine are given in the operating instructions.
This sewing machine disposes of a large extent of its use. The machine should be set with respect to the parameters of the sewn
material, the sewing thread etc. The setting for the individual categories is given in the chapter 11.2.
For setting the machine, simple setting aids are used which are included in the accessory of the machine. Besides these aids,
universal measuring devices are used, such as slide calliper, feeler gauges and dynamometer for measuring the thread tension.

3.4.4 Setting of the rear and side guides
With the sewing categories 300 and 400, it is possible to
replace the front and the rear guides by one guide. This is a
variant, where the use of the front and of the rear guides does
not enable attaining a satisfactory stitch locking. This guide
is to be set in height 1-2 mm above the lower edge of the
feeding wheel in accordance with the hardness of the sewn
material. In the sewing direction and with regard to the
clearance against the needle, the setting is to be done in such
a way, so that the guide should not have any influence on the
quality of the stitch locking.
Caution! Danger of injury!
Switch off the main switch! Before starting the
setting operation, wait until the motor stops!
- Loosen the screws (1) and set the guide (2) in height, set
the clearance between the needle and the guide, tighten the
screws (1).
- Loosen the screw (3) and set the guide in the sewing
direction, tighten the screw.
- Check the influence of the setting on the stitch locking.
3.4.5 Setting the guide of the needles (stitch
widths with needles, side by side)
The side setting of the guide is to be done starting from the
axis of the stitch width of the needles, that is to say that the
clearances between both needles and the guide must be the
same. The correct height of the guide is set up according to
the sewn material, 1-2 mm above the bottom edge of the
feeding wheel. In the sense of sewing, the guide is to be set in
such a way that the contact of the guide with the material is at
7

the same spot as the contact of the feeding wheel with the
material.
Caution! Danger of injury!
Switch off the main switch! Before starting the
setting operation, wait until the motor stops!

The main tensioner (1) serves for creating the tension of the
threads when tightening the stitch. The auxiliary tensioner (2)
reduces the risk of pulling out of the thread after the thread
trimming when removing the sewn material, when the thread
is passed through this material and when the main tensioner
is relieved. The main tensioner is relieved by the mechanism
controlled by the shaft of the presser foot lifting (3), on which
the lever (4), is mounted which shifts the prop (5), which
pushes the metal sheet lever (6). This lever shifts the pin (7)
and this pin pushes onto the washer (8) and relieves the spring
(9).
With the machines provided with a thread trimming device,
the main tensioner (1) is relieved as well when switching on
the electromagnet (10), when its armature (11) pushes against
the lever (6). The mechanism of the adapting spring (12)
maintains the thread in its tensioned state when passing
through the hook. The thread limiter (13) limits the length of
the thread fed by the take-up lever when moving from the
upper to the bottom dead centre to get a controlled passing
of the thread through the hook.
3.5.2 Setting the tension of the main and auxiliary
tensioners
The tension of the main thread tensioner is regulated by means
of the nut (1). The force of tensioning the thread is measured
P
P
by the dynamometer (2) as it is shown on the illustration. The
size of this force differs according to the category of sewing
and is indicated in the par. 11.2.
The tension of the auxiliary tensioner is regulated using the
nut (3). It should be the least possible, but sufficient for
unthreading the thread from the sewn material when removing
the sewn material from the pressing element without leaving
the tensioner.

3.5.4 Setting the adapting spring
The mechanism of the adapting spring is to be set up in such
a way that, when uscrewing the nut (1) up to the stop to the
washer (2), the conical spring (3) remains under the tension
which is set by shifting the adjusting ring (4) locked by the
screw (10).
The angular setting thereof is to be done in such a way that
the angle A = 45°. The axial setting is to be done in such a
1

way that the plate (5) and the plate (6) are at the mutual distance
equal to the measure C= 3 mm.
The washer (7) is to be oriented in such a way that the distance
B = 1 to 1.5 mm. The bushing (8) is to be oriented in such a
way that the adapting spring (9) is tensed up by 90° from the

3.5.5 Setting the thread limiter
The thread limiter is to be set in such a way that, when sewing
and passing the thread through the most distant point of the
hook, the spring (2) shifts by about 1/4 to 3/4 length of its
total length. This means that the thicker will be the sewn

material and the longer will be the stitch length, the more will
be the limiter shifted in the sense of the arrow and inversely.
Under standard sewing conditions, the thread limiter is set in
its tested positions depending on the sewing category in
accordance with the chapter 11.
Caution! Danger of injury!
Switch off the main switch! Before starting the

necessary for attaining an elliptical way of the feeder. The
feeding mechanism for the horizontal component of the feeder
movement is formed by the lever mechanism (1) the
mechanism of the stitch length. This is driven from the main
upper shaft through the eccentric with the connecting rod
(2). The feeding movement is then transmitted by means of
the draw bar (3)on the oscillating shaft (4) and, through the
lever (10), on the feeder carrier (9). The stitch length (the size
of the horizontal component of the feeder movement) is to be
set using the button (5) through the leverage (6) onto the
lever mechanism (1).
The feeding mechanism for the vertical component of the
feeder movement is formed by the lifting eccentric (7) on the
bottom shaft. The movement is transmitted by the connecting
rod (8) onto the feeder carrier (9).

3.7 Feeding mechanism of the top roller
3.7.1 Description
The starting movement for the drive of the top roller feeder is
the bottom feeding shaft. From this shaft, the movement is
transmitted by the indented belt (1) onto the top feeding shaft
7

(2). A component part of the transmission by indented belt is
the pulley (3), the tensioning roller (4), the roller (5) and the
pulley (6). Starting from the shaft (2), the movement is further
transmitted through the friction wheels (7 and 8) of drive con-
version unit onto the articulated shaft (9). From this articulated
shaft, the movement is transmitted by a cone transmission,
situated in the holder (10), onto the feeder wheel (11). The
drive conversion unit serves for compensating the differences
in feeding by the driven top roller and by the lower feed wheeler.
By turning the screw (12), the change of the gear speed ratio is
attained. After having set in accordance with the par. 3.6.6, the
screw (12) in the holder (13) is to be locked by the nut (14).
The pressure of the friction wheels (7 and 8) is ensured by the
compression spring in the shaft (2). To avoid a complete
pushing out from the arm, the shaft is locked by a stirrup ring
(17). The shaft of the friction wheel (8) is mounted in the screw
(12) on needle bearings. The articulated shaft (9) contains two
joints (15) and a telescopic part (16). Both these elements
secure the lifting and the tilting of the top roller.

3.7.2.1 Description
The feeding clutch serves for changing the oscillating motion
to the rotary motion of the lower feed shaft. It is formed by the
clutch cover (1) which is locked in the bedplate using the pin
(2), by the clutch star (4) driven by the draw bar (3) from the
feeding mechanism and by the carrier disk (5) which is firmly
connected with the shaft (6). The draw bar (3) imparts the
clutch its oscillating motion.The clutch is being engaged by
means of the wedge (7) on the connecting rod (8) through the
eccentric (9) which is situated on the bottom shaft (10). In the
position, when the wedge is disengaged, the star (4) is pulled
out from its friction engagement with the lining of the carrier
disk (5) by means of an elastic washer (11). The disk lining (5)
is then pushed by the flat profiled spring (12) against the clutch
cover (1). In this position, the shaft (6) does not perform any
movement. In the position, when the wedge is engaged, the
star (4) is pushed against the lining of the disk (5) and, at the
same time, the connection with the clutch cover (1) is
disengaged and the oscillating motion from the connecting
rod (3) is transmitted to the rotating motion of the shaft (6).
During a short moment, when engaging and disengaging with
the carrier disk (5), both the cover (1) and the star (4) are
engaged, namely in the extreme dead centre of the connecting
rod (3). The clutch change over is to be set in tightening or
loosening the nut (13).

3.7.7 Setting the feeding difference
The size of feeding by the driven top roller is regulated by
means of a regulating screw. The top roller feeding is to be set
in cases, when a difference between the size of the top and
bottom feeding of the sewn material is evident. This will show
up in upward or downward bending of the sewn parts. It is
therefore necessary, when bending the sewn parts:
1. upwards - to increase the feeding performance of the top
roller.
2. downwards - to reduce the feeding performance of the top
roller.
This setting operation is done as follows:
- Loosen the locking nut (1) of the adjusting screw (2).
- Turn the screw to the left (in increasing so the feeding perfor-
mance of the top roller) or to the right (in reducing so the
feeding performance of the top roller).
- Test the result of this setting in sewing.
- Tighten the locking nut (1).
- The standard setting for the zero difference is 3 mm (see
Fig.) - the gap between the front faces of the screw (2) and
the nut (1).

3.7.9 Top roller
3.7.9.1 Selection of the top roller diameter
The machine can be supplied with two types of top roller,
namely with the diameter of 25 mm and with the diameter of
35 mm. The suitability of the diameter used depends on the
type of sewing and on the concrete technological operation.
There are in general valid the following principles for the
selection of the wheel diameter:
ø 25 mm - for sewing small radii
ø 35 mm - for sewing straight sections or big radii
- for sewing with great passages to thicker materials
3.7.9.2 Forward, rearward and side setting
The top roller must be in a defined position in relation to the
needle:
a)view (see Fig. 1) - the value X depends on the diameter of
use top roller (ø 25 - 6.5 mm; ø 35 - 10.5 mm), it is measured

turns on the shaft (5) with a certain friction moment.
- Screw the screw (6) with the nut (7) completely out.
- Push with the screwdriver on the lever (4), until it attains the
wall inside the arm of the sewing machine.
- Screw in the screw (6) to an extent ensuring that it only very
slightly pushes the lever (4) away from the arm wall and fix it
by the nut (7). The lever (4) will then bump into the rubber
stop of the screw (6), not into the arm. However, the screw
(6) is not intended to limit the lift of the top roller.
- Check the axial clearance of the shaft (5) which should be
the least possible.
- Using the screw (4) set the normal pressure force of the
presser foot.
Caution!
The limiting of the top roller lift by means of the

3.9.1 Description
The winder (bobbin winder) winds a reserve of the hook thread.
It is driven by a spring-mounted friction gear, which stops after
having filled the bobbin.
An ideal winding is attained with a sufficient pretension of the
thread obtained on the thread guide (4) and with 1 mm under
the diameter of the bobbin. The shaft is mounted in a swinging
way and the friction gear is put into engagement by means of a
pickup lever (1) and a cam. The winder is fixed on the machine
arm by two screws (3). The thread is passed through according
to the illustration, the thread is cut off after having stopped the
winding operation using the cutting device (5).
3.9.2 Setting the bobbin winder stop
The moment of interrupting the winding is determined by the
mutual position of the pickup lever (1) and the cam (5) on a
common shaft. The cam is locked in its functional position by
the screw (6). The mutual position is to be set on a not
incorporated winder in such a way that in the moment, when
the pickup lever leaves the space of the bobbin, the pressing
function of the cam on the winders shaft is interrupted and it
moves in the sense of the arrow. A fine setting is to be done on
an incorporated condition in the machine. Using the screw (2),
the position of the friction part of the pickup lever (1) is adapted.
In opening the lever, the stopping function is accelerated. Its
inverse function delays it. A test is to be done after having
inserted the bobbin, when passing the thread through the device
and when winding at the running of the machine.
3.9.3 Setting the friction gear
The friction gear is formed frontally by the disk (8) on the main
top shaft of the machine and by the disk (7) with a rubber ring
on the shaft of the winder.
Caution! Danger of injury!
Switch off the main switch! Before starting the
setting operation, wait until the motor stops!

3.10 Safety clutch
3.10.1 Description
1
5
4
3
The machine is provided with a safety clutch which enables the
turning through of the lower belt wheel (1) on the hub of the
lower shaft (2), when the hook is blocked. This blocking occurs
due to the penetration of thread into the hook path. With current
running, this clutch should not disengage during the normal
running. The mutual connection of the belt wheel (1) with the
hub is enabled by the pins (5) which fit with their conic ends
into the holes of the belt wheel. The pins are pushed by the
springs (4). Putting the clutch in its working position, eventual
checking its correct position are to be done in blocking the
hook using a screwdriver and in turning a bit the handwheel.
3.10.2 Setting the disengaging moment
Caution! Danger of injury!
Switch off the main switch! Before starting the
setting operation, wait until the motor stops!
The moment of 8 to 9 Nm is correctly set, when the screwed in
adjusting screws (3) come to lie 0.5 to 1.5 mm under the face
of the hub (2). When the clutch disengages during a normal
run, the screws are to be turned by one thread to the right and
2
a test is to be done during the running. In an opposite case,
when the hook is blocked, but the clutch does not disengage,
the disengaging moment of the clutch is to be reduced in
turning the screws to the left.
Caution!
The clutch guarantees only one mutual position
of the hub of the lower shaft (2) and that of the
belt wheel (1). No checking according to the gauge
marks is needed. Putting the clutch out of operation by
excessive tightening of the screws (3) can cause, when
blocking the hook, the destruction of the gear within the
drive of the hook.
3.11 Indented belt transmission
3.11.1 Setting the tensioning roller of the
indented belt
The optimum tension of the indented belt (1) is attained in
setting the tensioning roller (2) in such position, when the

3.14 Lubrication
3.14.1 Description
In the main lubrication reservoir (1) there is a suction wick (2)
which wipes against the shaft (3). The wick (4) collects oil
from the shaft (3) and feeds it into the wicks (5) and (13)
which distributes oil to the lubricated spots. The left branch
lubricates the needle and the thread mechanisms. The right
branch lubricates the mechanism of the stitch length. The
wick (13) is introduced into the distribution box (10). The
wick (6) sucks off the excessive oil from the needle and the
thread mechanisms and also is then led into the distribution
box (10). From there, oil is distributed by the wick (7), (11) for
sewing hook lubrication and by the wick (8), (12) used to
lubricate the gearing of the sewing hook drive. The wick (9)
lubricates the shifting wedge of the feed clutch.

3.14.2 Refilling oil
For lubricating the machine oil Esso SP-NK 10 is used or
other oil with the same quality. When putting the machine
into operation, each mechanism of the machine is to be
lubricated with several drops of oil. Oil is only refilled thereafter
into the oil reservoirs using an oil can into the holes in the oil
level indicators. The oil reservoir (1) is to be filled up to the
1
half of its content.
3.14.3 Multiple oil use
Oil which runs into the oil cup is collected in the collector (1)
2
1
and may be reused for refilling the oil reservoirs in the machine
- see par. 3.14.2.
The oil collector (1) with the collected oil is uscrewed and the
top part of the oil can (2) which is added in the machine
packing is screwed in. Oil is then refilled into the reservoirs on
the machine head and everything is put into the original
condition.

11. Setting the machine according to the sewing category
11.1 Introduction
This sewing machine enables sewing operations within a large extent from the light up to the heavy-duty sewing. The parameters
of the respective sewing operation must be in accordance with the given machine setting which includes also the replacement
of some components, such as the needle, the throat plate insert, the spring of the main tensioner, the top roller. For this reason,
the setting of the machine is divided into 4 categories:
1 ... light sewing
2 ... medium sewing
3 ... medium heavy-duty sewing
4 ... heavy-duty sewing
In the factory, where this machine has been manufactured, the machine has been set with respect to the standard parameters of
the required sewing category which is designed by the number included in the commercial designation of the machine. If the user
desires changing the given setting to another sewing category, this operation should be performed by a specialized mechanician.
Caution!
When changing the sewing category, loosen the tensing up of the fixed trimming knife.
Otherwise there is a danger of destruction of the moving knife.
The standard parameters of sewing are described in the following paragraph. The actual parameters of sewing inside the given
sewing category may be different, which means that the machine operative must adapt respectively the setting of the machine,
e.g. the tension of the upper thread.

1) The standard setting of the machine for the categories 3 and 4 concerns a decorative stitching, when it is difficult to match
a good stitch interlocking with a faultless function of the thread trimming device. Otherwise, when sewing material of
considerable overall thickness, it will be necessary to increase the overtopping of the teeth above the needle plate and to
increase also the needle thread tension.
2) The thickness of a layer is measured using an engineer slide calliper with the pressure of jaws of about 10 N.
3) One set of dish-shaped springs is mounted, another one is enclosed.
4) The values of tension are only orientative ones and it is necessary to adapt especially the tension of the shuttle thread
according to the stiffness of the material. An excessive tension of the threads when sewing soft materials causes material
wrinkling.
5) When performing decorative stitching of the category 4, the shuttle thread having the label No 20 is used.
6) When changing markedly the sewing category together with changing the tension of the shuttle thread, it is necessary to
modify the tension of the retaining spring of the trimming device according to the paragraph 4.7.
7) When changing markedly the sewing category together with a marked change of the needle number, it is necessary to correct
the setting of the distance of the shuttle from the needle, according to the paragraph 3.1.3 and, at the same time, the setting
of the fixed trimming knife of the trimming device, according to the par. 4.6.
8) There are in use various types of feeders with the purpose of avoiding imprinting the teeth in the lining leather. Otherwise, it
is possible to use any feeder.
