Oil feed to the sew ing head
The spriral grooves in the hook drive shaft 13 feed the oil from the pan through the pipe 23 to the basin 3 in the sewing head. The check valve 24 in this pipe prevents the oil from running back w hen the machine is idle. The viewing glass 15 allows a checking of the oil feed.
The oil exiting from the brass tube 4 drips onto the foam rubber ring 1. From here the oil reaches the pin 2 in the hole of the hollow shaft 6. The pin conducts the oil further to the wick 7 in the hollow shaft 6. The wick supplies the lubricating points of the linkage and the oil pad 8 in the sewing head. From the oil pad the oil is conducted directly or via a wick to the joints.
Oil feed from the sew ing head to the hook box
The oil spun off in the sewing head is taken up by the felt pad 9 and conducted to the recirculation wick 10 lying underneath. The recirculation wick feeds the oil back into the hook box.
The oil dripping from the foam rubber ring 1 in the basin 3 reaches the hook box via pipe 5.
The oil spun off by the linkage is caught by the felt plate 11 and led back to the hook box via pipe 14.

Oil return from the hook box to the oilpan
The oil is conducted to the equalizing reservoir 19 from the hook box via pipe 18. Via the pipe 21 with the sintered metal filter 20, the pump 12 on the hook shaft sucks oil back into the oilpan again. At the same time the pump also sucks the oil out of the oilpan via the oil return felt 16 and the pipe 17.
22 = Oil drain screw
GB
Oil feed to the hook
The oil returned from the sewing head flows into the hook box through pipe 14. Here the oil can rise to the level at which it flows off to the equalizing reservoir 19 through the overflow pipe 18.
The hollow hook shaft 30 brings the oil to the upper basin 26 of the hook via the spriral grooves of the fixed shaft 32. From here the oil reaches the lower basin 28 through the drilled hole 27. The smaller portion of this oil is led to the hook run via oil pipe 25 through centrifugal force. The greater portion of the oil flows back down again and lubricates the sprockets 31 and the ball bearing 29.
Checking the oil feed and the oil level
Check the oil feed at the viewing glass 33 with the sewing machine running.
Check the oil level at the viewing glass 34. The oil level should lie between “ FULL ” and “ EMPTY ”. If not, then fill the oil reserve as described in the Operating Instructions.

12 5
11
ATTENTION!
Before putting the special sewing machine into operation or after a longer stop the dried out oil wicks and the oil pad 9 in the sewing head have to be soaked with some oil. See also part 2 (assembly instructions).
The oil wicks in the sewing head must not touch the withdrawal wick 11.
The end of withdrawal wick 11 must lie in the oil sump of oil pad 5 over its whole length (approx. 10 - 15 mm). This ensures an optimum return of the oil from the sewing head.
The oil wick 1 leading to the needle bar wing 4 must be fixed between nut 2 in the cast and support spring 3 of the withdrawal wick. Oil wick 1 must not have any contact with oil pad 5.
When exchanging the oil pad 9 please observe that the “ porous” side is facing the guide 10. The two oil wicks 7 and 8 leading to the oil pad 9 must be s afely fixed under sheet 6.

13.1 Function sequence
1
2
4
52
When, during sewing, the pedal is stepped completely back in order to trigger the trimming sequence, then the needle is positioned in the 1. position. The drive stops briefly.
The magnet presses the roller lever 1 against the lowest point of the guide curve 2. The thread knife 4 is swung completely away from the counter knife 3 thereby.
The sewing machine runs with a cutting speed of 150 When the guide curve 2 swings the thread pulling knife 4 to the counter
knife 3, then the thread pulling knife is swung to just in front of the nose of the bobbin case in the 1st movement phase. Through this, the thread pulling knife is outside of the movement range of the bobbin case opener finger.
At the beginning of the 2nd movement phase the thread pulling knife first catches the hook and then the needle thread. The thread tension is opened. In due course the thread pulling knife pulls thread from the spool. Just before the thread lever high position the threads are cut and the underthread clamped.
When the thread lever high position and thus the 2nd position are reached, the drive stops. The magnet for the thread tension opening and the magnet for the thread trimmer are turned off.

Standard checking
The thread pulling knife is to be set sideways so that it swings past at a safe clearance to the nose of the bobbin case. The thread pulling knife may not collide with the bobbin case.
The height of the thread pulling knife is to be set so that it swings as close as possible over the bobbin without touching it.
GB
Caution Risk of Injury !
Turnthemainswitchoff. Set the thread pulling knife only with the sewing machine turned off.
Correction Sideways setting
Loosen screws 3 and 4.
Set the thread pulling knife 1 sideways as described above.
Tighten screws 3 and 4 again.
Height
Loosen screws 2 and 5 on the setting collars.
Set the height of the thread pulling knife.
Fix shaft 6 axially with the two setting collars so that the thread pulling knife can move easily without play.

Standard checking
The clearance between the blade of the c ounter knife 1 and the slider guide 3 s hould be “X” mm. (x=26mmwitha26mmq bobbin / x = 25 mm with a 32 mm q bobbin)
The knives should securely cut with the least possible pressure of the counter knife on the thread pulling knife 2. This is normally the case when, with the knives half overlapped, the counter knife blade just touches the thread pulling knife.
During the trimming sequence the underthread clamp 4 should firmly clamp the underthread so that it is securely caught by the needle thread during sewing-on.
Trim the threads with the manually operated thread pulling knife. Pull the thread out of the clamp and thereby check the clamping effect. If the clamping effect is too great or too small, then the underthread clamp must be set again.
Caution Risk of Injury !
Turnthemainswitchoff. Set the counter knife and underthread clamp only with the sewing machine turned off.
Correction Counter knife
Loosen screws 7 and 8.
Align the counter knife carrier. The above points must be met.
Tighten screws 7 and 8 again.
Underthread clamp
Loosen screws 5 and 6.
Align the underthread clamp 4. The above points must be met.
Tighten screws 5 and 6 again.
ATTENTION !
When the pressure of the counter knife is set too high, then this leads to increased knife wear. A false setting of the underthread clamp can lead to sewing-on problems.

Standard checking
The length of the last stitch before thread cutting can be adjusted. Thus, the lengths of the cut-off needle and bobbin threads can be influenced. Both thread ends should have almost the same length.
Correction
The length of the thread cutting stitch is influenced by means of screw 1.
Turning the screw in clockwise direction means longer stitches. Turning the screw counter-clockwise means shorter stitches.

14.5 Thread clamp (Thread feeding device)
With the thread clamp 2 and the relevant electronic components, the thread is pulled downward and swallowed up w hile sewing on. In order to avoid a threadbreakage (the thread can get jammed between the sewing foot and material) the sewing foot is briefly relieved.
The strength of the relief depends on the position of the adjusting wheel 20 (stroke adjustment). Higher stroke stronger relief (thicker material) Lower stroke weaker relief (thinner material)
The correct function of the thread clamp 2 depends on the setting of the potentiometer (the potentiometer is in general correctly set).

Standard checking
The length of the last stitch before thread trimming can be set. Thus, the length of the cut needle and hook thread is influenced. These two threads should preferably be equally long.
The last stitch of the short thread trimmer should be approx. 1 - 1.5 mm.
Correction
With the screw 1 the length of the thread trimming stitch is influenced. When turning the screw in clockwise direction the stitch length will
become longer. When turning the screw counter-clockwise the stitch length will become
shorter.

15.4 Thread clamp (thread pulling device)
With the thread clamp 2 and the corresponding electronics the needle thread is drawn downwards and a loop is formed at the sewing start. In order that the thread does not break (it may be clamped between foot and fabric) the sewing foot is released for a short time.
The degree of release is coupled with the position of the setting wheel 1 (stroke adjustment). High stroke = high degree of release (thick material) Low stroke = low degree of release (thin material)
The correct function of the thread clamp 2 depends on the setting of the potentiometer (normally this is set correctly).
Main setting rules
1. The thread pulling knife slightly rests on top of the centerpiece
21
support.
Correction: setting 1.
2. The cutting pressure should be as low as possible.
Correction: Setting 2.
3. The overlap should amount to 0.5 mm.

17.1.1 Defining the positions
Reference position
The reference position is the starting position for all other positions. It is defined as the position of the needle tip, with the needle descending in the normal direction of rotation, at the level of the upper side of the needle plate. With the control correctly set only the reference position needs to be reset after the removal of the proximity switch: all other positions are then automatically correct.
Position 1
In position 1, the bottom edge of the needle eye of the lowered needle must be in the same height as the shuttle plunger ring.
Position 2
In position 2 the thread lever is s hortly after the upper dead center. (The thread must be cut.)
17.1.2 Adjusting the positions (DC1600/DA82GA)
Once every rotation the digital proximity switch sends 512 pulses (increments) and one extra pulse to the control. All needle positions are determined by these pulses and the values of parameters F-170 and F-171.
The proximity switch requires no mechanical adjustment.
Caution ! All positions must be reset after:
1. the sewing drive has been operated for the first time
2. the sewing drive, drive control or drive control plate have been replaced
3. the EPROM in the drive control has been replaced.
Only the reference position must be reset after:
1. Removing and mounting or replacing the synchronizer.

18. Automatic speed adaptation
18.1 General
The “Speedomat” function allows a speed limitation dependent on the set stroke height (at setting wheel 1) up to 21 steps. The current stroke height value is indicated to the sewing drive control by the position of the potentiometer ( 10k Ohm with 60° angle of rotation), which is connected to the lifting shaft in the sewing machine arm. The maximum angle of rotation of the lifting shaft amounts to 48° and adjusts the potentiometer from 9k Ohm (= 4,5V at bushing A.3 = nmax) to 1k Ohm (= 0,5V at bushing A.3 = nmin).
See wiring diagram 9890 768003 B for connection of potentiometer.

18.2 Setting the “Speedomat” function
For the “Speedomat” function the following values must be set.
The maximum speed of the machine at minimum stroke height is set with the parameter F-111 (n2 - see parameter sheet).
The speed at maximum stroke height is set with the parameter F-117 eingestellt (n10 - see parameter sheet).
The upper “speed breaking point” is the Speedomat step up to which the maximum speed F-111 is effective. The speed limitation begins with the next step. The adjustment is effected with the parameter F-188.
The lower “speed breaking point” is the Speedomat step from which the speed is limited to F-117 (n10). The adjustment is effected with the parameter F-188.

After the trimming of the thread, the machine stops in the 2nd position when the thread lever has reached its high position. In this position the needle bar has already left its high position, so that the needle projects under the raised sewing feet. In order to be able to use the max. material through-put under the sewing feet for thicker material, the cylinder turns the needle return device of the hook drive shaft back until the needle bar has reached the upper dead center. This procedure occurs immediately after the thread trimming.

Prerequisite is that the block 11 is seated flush on the rod 12. This results in an optimum clamping effect.
Loosen screw 6. (Insert the wrench through the hole in the housing wall)
Turn shaft 5. When the knife 9 is at the lower dead center the overlap should be 0.5 mm.
Tighten screw 6 again. The block 7 should not touch the link 8.
Note
When the knife has been reground often it may no longer be possible to set the overlap of 0.5 mm. In this case the spacer plate 4 can be moved from below the knife carrier 3 to above the knife carrier.
Setting and pressure of the knife blades
Loosen screws 1 and 2.
Set the position of the knife. The knife 9 should lie a little inclined to the counter knife 10. The knife should cut securely with the least possible pressure.
Tighten screws 1 and 2 again.
