danger of soiling the sewn material with oil.
• The hook is lubricated by a wick lubrication system, fed from a
reservoir visible to the operator.
• 50 pre-programmed bartacks are available. The standard
patterns can be temporarily modified (changes to the total length, total width, speed). When the machine is switched off, the modified values of the most recently used bartack are restored when the machine is switched on again.

4.1 Threading needle thread

CAUTION
Risk of injury from needle and moving parts
Only thread the needle thread with the sewing machine switched off.
1. Plug the thread reels onto the thread reel holders and feed the
needle and hook threads through the unwinding bracket.
The unwinding bracket must stand horizontally above the
thread reels.
2. Thread the needle thread as shown in the following figure.
Figure 1: Threading needle thread
3. Pull the needle thread approx. 4 cm through the needle after
threading. This ensures reliable sewing-on.
4. When using silicone oil, also thread the needle thread through
the optional silicone oiler (1).
Operating Manual 512/532 Version 00.0 - 12/2013 21

4.2 Setting the needle thread tension

(1) – Preliminary tensione r knurled nut (2) – Primary tensioner
Figure 2: Setting the needle thread tension
Operation
Preliminary tension of the needle thread
With an open primary tensioner (2) a small amount of residual tension of the needle thread is required. The residual tension is generated by the preliminary tensioner (1).
The preliminary tension also affects the length of the cut needle thread end (starting thread for the next seam).
1. Turn the preliminary tensioner (1) clockwise (– direction) for
a shorter starting thread.
2. Turn the preliminary tensioner (1) counterclockwise
(+ direction) for a longer starting thread.
Primary tension of the needle thread
1. Set the primary tension of the needle thread (2) to be as low
as possible. The thread interlacing should be exactly in the middle of the material being sewn. With thin sewn material, excessive thread tension can lead to undesired ruffing and thread breakages.
Operating Manual 512/532 Version 00.0 - 12/201322
Operation
(1) – Thread regulator (2) – Thread tensioning spring
(3) – Screw
Opening the needle thread tensioner
The primary tensioner (2) is automatically opened during thread cutting and when the clamping foot is raised.

4.3 Setting the thread regulator

CAUTION
Risk of injury from needle and moving parts
Only thread the needle thread with the sewing machine switched off.
Figure 3: Setting the thread regulator
Operating Manual 512/532 Version 00.0 - 12/2013 23
Operation
(1) – Thread clamp (2) – Bobbin (3) – Winder shaft
(4) – Bobbin lever (5) – Guide (6) – Tensioner
The thread regulator (1) regulates the amount of needle thread required for forming the stitch. An optimum sewing result is only possible when the thread regulator is exactly adjusted.
With the correct setting the needle thread loop must slide over the thickest part of the hook at low tension.
1. Loosen the screw (3).
2. Adjust the position of the thread regulator (1).
Thread regulator to the left = larger amount of needle thread Thread regulator to the right = smaller amount of needle thread
3. Tighten the screw (3).
Adjustment note:
When the maximum thread quantity is required then the thread tension spring (2) must be pulled approx. 0.5 mm down from its upper end position. This occurs when the needle thread loop passes the maximum hook diameter.

4.4 Winding the hook thread

Figure 4: Winding the hook thread
Operating Manual 512/532 Version 00.0 - 12/201324
Operation
1. Fit the bobbin (2) on the bobbin shaft (3).
2. Pull the thread through the guide (5) and around the
tensioner (6).
3. Wind the thread counterclockwise approx. 5 x around the
bobbin core (2).
4. Press the bobbin lever (4) into the bobbin.
5. Start sewing.
The bobbin winder stops automatically when the configured
bobbin filling length has been reached (see Service manual).
6. Tear off the thread at the thread clamp (1) after winding.
Note
If the thread must be wound without sewing then the thread winding mode can be set in the controller. See 5.9 Bobbin winding, p. 40

4.5 Replacing the hook thread bobbin

CAUTION
Risk of injury from needle and moving parts
Only thread the hook thread bobbin with the sewing machine switched off.

Remove the empty bobbin
1. Pull the hook cover (3) downwards.
2. Lift the bobbin housing flap (1).
3. Remove the bobbin housing upper section (2) with the
bobbin (6).
4. Remove the empty bobbin from the bobbin housing upper
section (2).
Insert a full bobbin
1. Insert the full bobbin into the bobbin housing upper section (2).
2. Feed the hook thread through the bobbin housing slot (7)
under the tensioning spring (5) into the hole (4).
3. Pull the hook thread approx. 2.5 cm out of the bobbin housing
upper (2).
The bobbin must rotate in the direction of the arrow when
pulling out the hook thread.
4. Insert the bobbin housing upper (2).
5. Close the hook cover (3).

4.6 Setting the hook thread tension

CAUTION
Risk of injury from needle and moving parts
Only thread the hook thread tensioner with the sewing machine switched off.
Figure 6: Setting the hook thread tension
Operating Manual 512/532 Version 00.0 - 12/2013 27
The required hook thread tension must be generated by the tensioning spring (1). The bobbin housing upper section (3) should slowly fall under its own weight when held by the threaded hook thread.
Adjusting the tensioning spring
1. Remove the bobbin housing upper section (3) with the bobbin.
2. Adjust the tensioning spring (1) via the adjustment screw (2)
until the correct tension is set.
3. Insert the bobbin housing upper section (3).

4.7 Changing needle

(1) – Groove (2) – Screw
(3) – Needle bar
CAUTION
Risk of injury from needle and moving parts
Only change the needle with the sewing machine switched off.
Figure 7: Changing needle
Operation
1. Loosen the screw (2) and remove the needle.
2. Insert the new needle into the hole in the needle bar (3) as far
as it will go, taking care to ensure that the groove in the needle (1) faces the hook tip.
3. Tighten the screw (2).
4. Always adjust the clearance between the hook and the needle
after changing to a different needle thickness (see Service manual). Otherwise the following errors can occur:
• Changing to a thinner needle: Missing stitches, thread damage
• Changing to a thicker needle: Damage to the hook tip, damage to the needle

4.8 Adjusting the button mount of the button clamp (Class 532)

CAUTION
Risk of injury from needle and moving parts
Only change needles with the sewing machine switched off.

Negative values and comma-separated values must not be entered.
The operator does not need to perform any calculations in order to center the seam appearance. The machine automatically centers the seam appearance in the middle of the sewing field. To subsequently relocate the seam appearance, see 5.14
