Operation
Switching on the machine
To switch on the machine:
1. Ensure that the needle is up and not plunged in the material
at the bottom.
Important
The needle must be at the top dead center, ensuring that needle and hook tip cannot become damaged during referencing.
2. Set the main switch (3) to position I.
POWER LED (2) illuminates, and the MESSAGE LED (1)
flashes briefly.
The splash screen appears on the display:
• On the left, the class
• On the right, the firmware
The machine performs a reference run and is ready for
sewing when the display shows the start screen. The control remains in automatic mode (p. 74) only for a few seconds before switching to manual mode (p. 66).
Switching off the machine
To switch off the machine:
1. Ensure that the needle is up and not plunged in the material
at the bottom.
Important
The needle must be at the top dead center, ensuring that needle and hook tip cannot become damaged the next time the machine is switched on and completes a reference run.
2. Set the main switch (3) to position 0.
The control panel shuts down. When the POWER LED (2)
goes out, the machine and the control are disconnected from the power supply.

Operating Instructions 550-12-33/34 - 00.0 - 08/201722
Operation
To change the needle:
1. Turn handwheel until the needle (4) is at the top dead center.
2. Loosen the threaded pin (3) through the hole in the thread
guide (2). This requires that the thread guide (2) be assembled
completely straight to the needle bar (1).
3. Pull the needle (4) down and out.
4. Insert the new needle (4) into the hole in the needle bar (1)
until it reaches the end stop.
Important
Align the needle (4) in such a way that the groove (5) is pointing to the rear.
5. Tighten the threaded pin (3) through the hole in the thread
guide (2).
Order
Always adjust the clearance between the hook and the needle (4) after changing to a different needle thickness (Service Instructions).
Disturbance
An incorrect hook distance can cause the following disturbances:
• Changing to a thinner needle:
• Missing stitches
• Thread damage
• Changing to a thicker needle:
• Damage to the hook tip
