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.

categories 300 and 400, it is possible to replace these guides
by one guide (4) /the rear guide and the side guide in one
guide/.
For stitch widths with needles side by side, the rear guide (3)
is used only. All guides serve for holding the sewn material
against the throat plate. In addition to this, they contribute to
a as well and protect the needles in guiding them into the
piercing holes.
3.4.2 Setting the front guide
The front guide is universal for tandem stitch widths and for
all categories of sewing. It should be set in such a way that,
from the point of view of the operator, it protects the right
needle from the left-hand side. In the that, when backward
stitching, it could not negatively influence the stitch locking.
Its correct height is set up according to the sewn material
1-2 mm above the bottom edge of the feeding wheel. For
harder materials, it is set a bit lower and inversely.
Caution! Danger of injury!
Switch off the main switch! Before starting the
setting operation, wait until the motor stops!

3.4.3 Setting the rear guide
For different stitch widths of needles there is always used, for
all sewing categories, the respective guide (in each sewing
set there is supplied a corresponding guide). The rear guide
protects the left needle from the right-hand side. It is to be set
in such a way in the direction of sewing that it favourably
influences the stitch locking even when sewing the radii. Its
correct height is set 1-2 mm above the bottom edge of the
feeding wheel, namely according to the hardness of the sewn
material.
Caution! Danger of injury!
Switch off the main switch! Before starting the
setting operation, wait until the motor stops!
- Loosen the screw (6) and set the guide (2) in the direction
of sewing behind the right needle at the moment when the
needle leaves the sewn material, tighten up the screw.

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

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
the same spot as the contact of the feeding wheel with the
material.
Caution! Danger of injury!

The main tensioners (1) serve for producing the thread tension
when tightening stitches. The auxiliary tensioners (2) prevent
the pulling out of the thread after having ended the thread
trimming when removing the sewn material, when the threads
are being passed through this material and when the main
tensioners are relieved. The main tensioners are relieved by
means of a mechanism which is controlled by the presser foot
lifting shaft (3), on which the lever (4) with a pulley is attached.
The motion is then transmitted by the lever (5) and the tie rod
(6) on the thread tensioner plate (7) whose displacement
(motion) relieves thethread tensioner springs (8). In machines
provided with a thread trimming device, the main tensioners
(1) are relieved as well upon the switching on of the electromagnet (10) whose electromagnetic field will attract the thread
tensioner plate (7).

In the rest position of the tensioners, when pushing the plate
of the tensioners on the spot A 3.5.1, this plate must have
the socalled dead travel of about 0,5 mm. At this lifting, the
tension discs of the tensioners must not be relieved. This can
be attained by a suitable shaping of the relieving disc of the
tensioners - this has been set up in the manufacturing factory.
In the maximum opened position of the tensioners, the plate
of the tensioners, when pushing it at the spot A 3.5.1, must
still have the minimum lifting. This can be attained when axially
shifting the lever (3) with the roller (5) on the shaft (4).
The disengagement of the main tensioners must be
coordinated with the top roller lift. To achieve this, turn the
lever (3) with the roller (5) on the shaft (4). The movement of
the roller (5) on the slanting surface (6) of the lever (7)
disengages the tensioners. In this way, also alag of the upper

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
(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 wheels (7 and 8) ontothe 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 shaft of the wheel (8) is
mounted in the screw (12) on bearings. The articulated shaft
(9) contains two joints (15) and a telescopic part (16). Both

3.7.6 Top roller
3.7.6.1 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
3.7.6.2 Forward, rearward and side setting
The top roller must be in a defined position in relation to the

In the cone gear of the drive of the top roller foot, the minimum
clearance must be set. A too small clearance will increase the
friction resistance of the gear, the excessive clearance will
influence the inaccuracy of feeding. The top roller itself is
mounted on balls. With this type of mounting,it is also
necessary to set the minimal possible radial clearance.
The given clearances are set as follows:
Caution! Danger of injury!
Switch off the main switch! Before starting the
setting operation, wait until the motor stops!
Clearance in the wheel mounting
- Loosen three screws (5) /only slightly/.

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

occurs due to the penetration of thread into the hook path.
With current running, this clutch should not disengage during
the normal running.
and the hub (2) is effected by means of the bills (3) which are
firmly connected with the belt wheel (1). The bills fit in the
conic holes of the hub (2) and are pushed therein by means of
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.
The mutual coupling of the belt wheel (1)
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 correct value of the tensioning moment (8 Nm) has been
set up by the manufacturer. when this value is lower, in a
current running, the clutch may disengage. In an opposite
case (the moment is higher), the clutch will not disengage. In
both cases it is necessary to proceed to a correction of the
moment. In turning the nut (5) to the right, the moment will
increase and on the contrary. The value of the tensioning
moment is very sensible to the turning of the nut (5). When
setting it, it is necessary to proceed very carefully, set it up
only in emergency cases! Check the moment using a torquelimiting wrench.
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 nut (5) can cause, when blocking
the hook, the destruction of the gear within the drive of the
hook.

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)
The splice with the so-called spur is being mounted as a standard with the sewing categories 100 and 200 and is designed
for sewing thin materials. For sewing thicker materials with a maximum stitch length it is possible to use a splice without spur
(mounted as a standard with the sewing categories 300, 400).
4) The values of tension are only orientative ones and it is necessary to adapt especially the tension of the hook 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 hook thread having the label No 20 is used.
6) When changing markedly the sewing category together with changing the tension of the hook 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 hook from the needle, according to the paragraph 3.1.3.
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.
