Binding the cable
together
3.2Cable routing
Ensure that all cables in the machine are laid in such a way that moving
parts are not impaired in their ability to function correctly.
1.Lay excessively long cables neatly in proper cable snakes.
2.Tie the snakes together using a cable tie.

3.3Removing the covers
NOTICE
Property damage may occur!
Machine damage and malfunctions can be caused by laying the
cables incorrectly.
Excess cabling may obstruct moving machine parts in their ability to
function correctly. This will affect the sewing function and may cause
damage.
Lay excess cabling as described above.
WARNING
Risk of injury from moving parts!
Crushing possible.
Switch the sewing machine off before you remove
the covers or refit them.
In many types of setting work, you will have to remove the machine covers
first in order to access the components.
Described here is how to remove the individual covers and how to reattach
them. Just the cover that needs to be removed is then specified in the text
for that particular type of setting work.
3.3.1 Access to the machine bottom section
In order to access the components at the machine bottom section, you
must first tilt the machine upper section to the left.
Fig. 1: Tilting the machine upper section to the left and setting it upright
Fig. 11: Removing and inserting the throat plate (4)
(9) - Connecting rod pin for needle thread clamp
1.Insert the throat plate (7) from above. When doing this make sure that
the hole in the needle thread clamp, which is located underneath the
throat plate, and the connecting rod pin of the needle thread clamp (9)
are mounted.
2.Mount the thread puller blade connecting rod (5) and make sure that
the connecting rod grips properly.
3.Tighten all 4 screws (8) of the throat plate firmly in place.
4.Tighten the screw (6).
5.Close the hook flap ( S. 17).
6.Fit the work surface (4).

8.Mount both springs of the fabric clamp (1).
3.4Surfaces on shafts
Fig. 12: Surfaces on shafts
(1) - Surface(2) - Shaft
Some shafts have flat surfaces at those points where the components are
screwed on. This strengthens the connection and setting work is made easier.
Always make sure that the whole screw is seated completely on the surface.
