filled up to about 0.5 mm below the edge of the bobbin.
The bobbin wheel should have no axial play but must also run
smoothly.

of the flat spring 9 are on t op of each other (spring is tensioned)
and the bobbin winder flap 3 has not axial play.
Tighten screw 7.

switched off.
Standard checking
When the thread pulling knife 1 is in its rest position the distance
between the cam 4 (highest point) and the spool 5 should be 0.1 mm.
Here the cam must be next to the edge of the snap fit coupling 8.
In the rest position the thread pulling knife should be flush with the
edge of the counter blade 2.
–
Check whether the cam is close by.
–
Turn the machine until the highest point of the cam 4 is next to the
spool 5 (80° on the hand wheel).
–
Check the distance between the cam 4 and the spool.

2.14.4Cutter pressure and bobbin thread clamp
Caution: Danger of injury!
Turn off the main switch.
Only check and adjust the counter blade and the bobbin thread clamp
when the machine is switched off.
1
Standard checking
The thread should be cut reliably with the lowest possible pressure.
Low cutting pressure keeps wear on the blades low.
Two of the thickest threads to be sewn must be cut reliably at the
same time.
The clamping spring 1 should keep the cut thread so that skipped
stitches do not occur at the start of the seam.
–
Turn the hand wheel until the thread draw cutter can be swung
out.
–
Swing the thread draw cutter out by hand.
–
Insert two of the threads to be cut into the thread draw cutter.
–
Keep turning the hand wheel until the cutter has swung back.
–
Check whether the sewing threads have been cut cleanly.
–
Remove the thread from the clamp and check the clamping effect
while doing this.
If the clamping effect is too great or too small the thread clamp
must be reset.
IMPORTANT!
If the counter cutter pressure is set too high this leads to increased
wear on the cutter.
An incorrect thread clamp setting may lead to problems at the start of
sewing.

To adjust cutting pressure
321
Adjustment
For a flawless cutting operation it is important for screw 4 in the free
arm to be up against the counter cutter support with a slight pressure
and in this way it cannot be pressed down.
Correction
–
Undo screw 4 a little and then screw it in slightly again on the
counter cutter.
–
Swing the thread draw cutter out until the arrow on the cutter
points towards t he edge of the counter cutter.
–
Undo screw 1.
–
Place the thread draw cutter 2 against the counter cutter.
–
Tighten screw 1.
Important
The eccentric cut of the thread draw cutter 2 automatically produces a
cutting pressure when both cutting edges are on top of each other.

Caution: Danger of injury!
Turn off the main switch.
Only check and adjust the cutting position when the machine is

Standard checking
If the machine is at position 58° on the hand wheel the threads must
be cut.
Correction
–
Undo screws on the cam 1.
–
Turn the cam accordingly.
–
Do up screws on cam 1 .
–
Check whether the threads have been cut at 58° on the hand
wheel.
Note!
Ensure that the cam is on the right.

2.15 Potentiometer in the arm
Sewing machines with thread cutters are fitted with a potentiometer to
limit the speed with larger sewing foot strokes. The control unit
detects this potentiometer in the sewing foot stroke and restricts the
speed.

potentiometer with an ohmmeter
Terminal (3) = green wire
Terminal (2) = brown wire
Reading: 7.1 - 7.3 kOhm

2.16 Oil lubrication
Caution: Danger of injury!
Oil can cause skin rashes.
Avoid excessive contact with the skin.
Wash thoroughly after contact.
IMPORTANT!
The handling and disposal of mineral oils is subject to legal
regulations.
