1. Product Description
1.1 Short Description and Proper Use
The 271 to 274 are flat single needle-double saddle st i tch
sewing machines with thread trimming devices for
straight seams to sti tch type 301.
Properly employed the machine may only be used for
sewing ma terials of te xt i le fibre and garment leather.
271 with skipping bottom feed.
The machine has an automatic central oil wick lubrication
with oil reservoir as well as a seperate automatic hook
lubrication, also with oil reservoir. The oil levels are
visible through inspection glasses.
Through equi pping with th read regulato rs the same
sub-class es, with appropriate choice of sewing device
and needle, can be used for sewing thick as well as thin
material.
The operation of the tension activation, the thread
trimming, the automatic bartack and the pressure foot lift
occur elec t ro-magnetic al l y. No compressed air is required
with the exception of classes 273, 274 and 272-740142.
For further technical cha racteristics an d equipment fo r
each sub- class see und e r 1.2 Technical Data.
272 as 271 , but with additional need l e transport.
273 as 271, but with additi onal intermit t ent roller to p feed.
The transport distance of the roller top feed is a max.
7mm. With an adjustment wheel at the fr ont of the
machine arm it can be given a setting differing from the
bottom feed.
It has stable rpm up to a maximum number of stitches of
5500 stitches/min. This means constant stitch lengths as
well as smooth and unshifted seams even with quick rpm
changes.
Automatic lifting of the carrier roller by change over to
transport to the rear(bartack).

When inserting the needle care is to be taken that it is
pushed in until contact is made and that the furrow of the
needle is turned to the right, e.g. to the hook tip.

3.3 Replacing the Bobbin and Setting the Looper Thread Tension
- Risk of Injury -
Turn the main switch off!
Removing the Bobbin
Lift up lid 3 and remove the upper part of the bobbin case
with the bobbin.

Inserting the Bobbin
The insertion of a new, filled bobbin can be seen in the
following illustration.
The thread is pulled in the slit a under the leaf spring b up

Setting the Looper Thread Tension
With a recommended looper thread tension of e.g. 30g,
15g should be achieved through the brake spring 5 and
15g through the tensio n spring 7.
As the base position of the tension sp ring 7 the fo l l owing
applies:
Allow the bobbin case to slowly lower through its own
weight. See sketch.
The brake spr i ng 5 blocks the run-on of the b obbin during
thread trimming.
Set its braking effect sensitively.

To set the two te nsion values proceed as follows:
– Turn the regulating screw 6 so far back that the
tension of the leaf spring 7 is completely released.
– Set the brake spring 5 accordingly by turning the
screw 4.
– Insert the bobbin into the upper part of the bobbin
case and thread the looper thread as per the
illustration.
– Insert the bobbin case with bobbin into the hook.
– With a so-called air stitch pull the looper thread to
the top of t he stitch hol e with the aid of the needle
thread.
– Pull off the looper thread at an angle of 45°. About
half of the tension va l ue should be felt.
Then tighten the regulating screw 6 to the
recommended tension.
3.4 Threading the Needle Thread
- Risk of Injury -
Turn the main switch off!
The thread path of the needle thread i s s hown in the
following illustrations.
For a, as far as possible, t ension-free unwinding of th e
threads from the thread stand thread through only one
thread hole of the unwinding arm.
The other t hread holes ar e closed with the plugs found i n
the accessories package.

3.5 Regulating the Needle Thread T en sion
Pre-tensioning for Thread Trimming
For the sure functioning of the thread trimming with
opened main tension 4 a sm al l residual tensi on of the
needle thread is required.
This residual tension is achieved by pre-tensioning 3. At
the same time it influences the length of the cut needle
thread end. (Starting thread for the next seam.)
Short starting thread = tighten the knurled nut 3.
As base position applies:
Front of the knurled nut and bolt flush.
Greater adjustments of the pre-tensioning makes a
readjust m ent of the main tension ne cessary.
Main tension
Pre-tensio ni ng 3 and main tension 4 should gi ve the
recommended needle thread tension of e.g. 80g.
Set the main tension 4 accordingly.
3.6 Thread Regulator
With the th read regulato r 6 the needle thread quanti t y
required for stitch buil di ng can be regu l at ed. The setting
is dependent on stitch length, material thickness and
thread characteristics.
Note:
Only a precisely set thread regulator assures an optimal
sewing r e sult.
The needle thread loop should glide over the hook
without excess and with little tension.
Loosen screw 9 and set the regulator accordingly.
The vertical wire 7 serves as a setting aid in conjunction
with the scale 8.

4. Maintenance
Note
With a correct regulator setting the thread controller
spring 5 will be pulled approx. 0.5 mm down out of its
upper en d position when the threa d l oop passes the
maximum hook girth, that is, when the greatest amount of
thread is required. See illustration.
The dimension 0.5 mm is a gui deline. It can be greater or
smaller d epending on the thread co ntroller spring tension.
- Risk of Injury -
During cleaning and lubrication of the machine i t is
essential to turn the main switch off.
The mainte nance work must be conducted a t the latest
after t he number of operating hours shown in br ackets ( ).
Other maintenance intervals may result when working
special materials.

4.2 Lubrication
For the lubrication of this machine it is essential that
Esso SP-NK 10 or an absolutely equivalent quality
lubricating oil be used.
The mainte nance of the pa rts to be provid ed with oil is
limited to the following:
– The oil level in the oil reservoir 1 may not drop below
the "MIN" mark. (40 hours)
With the machine upright fill oil to the "MAX" mark.
With the exception of the hook lubrication all bearing
positions on the machine are supplied via a central
oil wick lubrication fr om the oil rese rvoir 1.
– The oil level in the oil reservoir 2 for the hook
lubrication should also not be allowed to drop below
the "MIN" mark. (40 hours)
With the machine head tilted back fill oil to the "MAX"
mark.
– When necessary fill the oil reservoir 9 of the
maintenance unit to the groove marking with oil. (40
hours)
For this completely shut off the compressed air by
turning the knob 4 to the left and then screwing out
screw 10.
