3.1 Threading needle thread

CAUTION Risk of injury due to sharp and moving parts!
Punctures and crushing are possible. Only thread the needle thread with the machine
switched off.
To thread the needle thread:
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.
Fig. 1: Threading needle thread
(1) -
Silicone lubricator (optional)
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).

3.2 Setting the needle thread tension

Fig. 2: Setting the needle thread tension
(1) - Preliminary tensioner (2) - Preliminary tensioner
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).
To set the preliminary needle thread tension:
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
To set the primary needle thread tension:
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.
16 Operating Instructions 512/532 - 05.0 - 04/2018
Operation
Opening the needle thread tensioner
The primary tensioner (2) is automatically opened during thread cutting.

3.3 Setting the thread regulator

CAUTION Risk of injury due to sharp parts!
Cutting is possible. Only thread the needle thread with the machine
switched off.
Fig. 3: Setting the thread regulator
(1) - Thread regulator (2) - Thread tensioning spring
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.
Operating Instructions 512/532 - 05.0 - 04/2018 17
(3) - Screw
Operation
③④ ⑤
With the correct setting the needle thread loop must slide over the thickest part of the hook at low tension.
To set the needle thread regulator:
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.

3.4 Winding the hook thread

Fig. 4: Winding the hook thread
(1) - Thread clamp (2) - Bobbin
18 Operating Instructions 512/532 - 05.0 - 04/2018
(3) - Winder shaft
To wind the hook thread:
1. Fit the bobbin (2) on the bobbin shaft (3).
2. Pull the thread through the guide (5) and around the
tensioner (6).
(4) - Bobbin lever (5) - Guide (6) - Tensioner
Operation
3. Wind the thread counterclockwise approx. 5 x around the bob-
bin 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 chapter bobbin winding (S. 35).

Operation
Insert a full bobbin
To 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).

pulling out the hook thread.
4. Insert the bobbin housing upper (2).
5. Close the hook cover (3).
Operating Instructions 512/532 - 05.0 - 04/2018 21

3.6 Setting the hook thread tension

CAUTION Risk of injury due to sharp and moving parts!
Cutting or crushing are possible. Only set the hook thread tensioner with the
machine switched off.
Fig. 6: Setting the hook thread tension
Operation
(1) - Tension spring (2) - Regulating screw
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
To adjust 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).

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 (Service Instructions).
(3) - Needle bar
Otherwise the following errors can occur:
