1. General
These service instructions describe the adjustments that can be made
to the Class 838 special sewing machine.
CAUTION!
The operations described in these service instructions may only be
carried out by qualified staff or other appropriately trained persons!
Caution: Risk of Injury!
Turn the main switch off for repair, conversion and maintenance work
and separate the machine from the pneumatic supply line.
Any adjustment work and functional testing with the machine running
should be conducted only under observance of all safety measures
and with the greatest possible caution.
These service instructions describe the adjustment of the sewing
machine in a logical order. Please observe that various setting
positions are dependent on each other. Thus it is essential that the
settings be conducted while keeping to the order described.

1.1 Setting gauges
For all adjustments of parts involved in the stitch formation, a new
undamaged needle must be inserted.
This text does not specifically mention any machine covers or panels
which must be removed or re-mounted in order to conduct inspections
or adjustments.
Note
Some shafts on the special 838 machine are provided with flat
eccentric surfaces. This significantly simplifies machine adjustments.
For all adjustments on flat surfaces, the first screw screwed in the
direction of the eccentric surface.
The retention pin required for adjusting the machine in included with all
units. It is located with the machine accessories and can be attached
so that it is easily accessible below the oil tray.

1.2 Adjusting the handwheel
Rule:
The handwheel (4) is labelled with degree numbers.
Certain adjustments are made with these marked handwheel positions.
–
Turn the handwheel until the degree value specified in the
instructions is aligned with the pointer (3).
–
Proceed with the adjustment described.
When the needle bar is at top dead centre, the pointer (3) should be
aligned with“0” degrees.

–
Loosen the handwheel screws with a 3-mm hexagon socket
wrench (1).
–
Position the needle bar in the top dead centre position. Use the
retention pin (3 mm diameter) to peg the position (2).
–
Turn the handwheel so that the pointer (3) points to 0 degrees on
the rotary scale.
–
Tighten the first screw with the wrench (1). Turn the handwheel
to 50° and tighten the second screw with the wrench (1).

2.1 Base setting for stitch adjustment and stitch length limit
Rules:
1. When setting the stitch length at “0”, the stitch regulator gear should
have as little play (clearance) as possible when you press down on
the bartacking lever.
2. The maximum stitch length is limited to 8mm.

–
Loosen screw (1) and take off the settings dial (2).
–
Turn the screw (3) as far as needed to the right using a 10-mm
spanner wrench. Verify that the stitch regulator gear is without
motion by pressing down on the bartacking lever. This fulfils rule 1.
–
Set the scaling ring (4) with stitch length 0 to align with the circular
mark (5).
–
Limit the stitch length according to rule 2. For this, screw the
retention pin (6) into the proper hole. The holes are marked with
numbers which indicate the maximum stitch length.
–
If a maximum stitch length of 7 mm is required, unscrew the screw
(6) for 2.5 mm. Another end stop is available for this length.
–
Put the settings dial (2) back on and tighten the screw (1).
Caution: Risk of Injury!
Turnthemainswitchoff.
Only carry out this stitch adjustment when the machine is turned off.
ATTENTION: Danger of breakage!
If the set stitch length is larger than allowed by the sewing equipment
in use, then the needle will hit against the throat plate insert.

2.2 Stitch uniformity for forwards and reverse stitching
Rules:
1. When making a rough-scale adjustment to the stitch regulator gear,
the machine should not feed when the stitch length is set to 0.
2. When making a fine-scale adjustment to the stitch regulator gear,
the forwards and reverse stitch lengths should only deviate in value by
a half stitch.

–
Set the stitch length to “0”.
–
Loosen screw (1) and turn the grooved (3) eccentric tappet (2)
according to the illustration. Fasten with screw (1).
–
Loosen screw (4) on the clamping lever. Turn the settings frame (5)
so that the shackles (6) are parallel. Tighten screw (4). This then
fulfils rule 1.
–
The next step is to match up the forwards and reverse stitch
lengths. Sew ten stitches forwards. Press the bartacking lever and
then sew ten stitches backwards. Rotate the eccentric tappet (2) so
that rule 2 is met.
–
Clockwise = enlarge forward stitch, decrease reverse stitch.
–
Counter-clockwise = decrease forward stitch, enlarge reverse stitch.

2.3 Adjusting the levers on the rear feed shaft
Rule:
When setting the stitch length" 0“, the feed clutch should be in the
middle range of the work limit settings.

–
Set the stitch length to “0”.
–
Loosen screw (1).
–
Set the lower feed dog in the middle between the dead centre
points of its motion in the throat plate.
–
Tighten screw (1).
–
Loosen screws (2).
–
Screw out the screw on the feed clutch (4). Push the needle (3) into
this opening. Turn the clutch (4) with your hand until the needle (3)
is 5mminto the hole. The rule is then fulfilled.
