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.
3. Feed the needle thread from top to bottom through the thread
guide (13).
4. Guide the needle thread counterclockwise around the
tensioner (12).
5. Guide the needle thread clockwise around the tensioner (11).
6. Feed the needle thread, as shown, through thread guides (8),
(9) and (10).
7. Feed the needle thread through the needle thread regulator (5)
and the thread lever (4).
Important
When feeding the thread through the needle thread regulator (5)
and the thread lever (4), pay attention as to how much needle
thread is needed to ensure proper stitch formation. The required
needle thread quantity defines the threading of the needle thread
( p. 37).
8. Feed the needle thread downwards behind the bracket (6).
9. Insert the needle thread through thread guide (7).
The reinforcement tape is used to reinforce the seam and support
ruffling. The reinforcement tape can be fed in 2 ways:
• Tape feeder at the top (at the machine head)
• Tape feeder at the bottom (under the tabletop)
The machine is equipped with either type of tape feeder. If fed
from the top, the reinforcement tape is sewn on top of the material.
If fed from the bottom, the reinforcement tape is sewn under the
material.
4.6.1Threading the reinforcement tape from the top
Fig. 11: Threading the reinforcement tape from the top (1)
(1) - Bar
(2) - Screw
To thread the reinforcement tape from the top:
1. Loosen the screw (2) and pull it off the bar (1) towards the left
together with the brake element (3).
2. Fit the tape roll onto the bar (1).
3. Slip the brake element (3) back onto the bar (1).
4. Tighten the screw (2).
Now, the tape roll can no longer slip off the bar.
Together with the hook thread tension, the needle thread tension
influences the final seam pattern. With thin sewing material,
excessive thread tension can lead to thread breakage.
Proper setting
The needle thread tension must be tighter than the hook thread
tension. To ensure the proper setting, the hook thread tensioner
is equipped with a spring made of thinner wire
Disturbance from incorrectly set thread tension
• Too tight: Crimping of the sewing material
• Too loose: Missing stitches
The thread tension is set at the OP3000 control panel ( p. 90).
If 100 % thread tension is insufficient, the thread pre-tension can
be supplemented ( p. 42). To this end, the tensioner elements
of the thread pre-tensioner are set closer together. The tensioner
elements of the thread pre-tensioner are, otherwise, always open.
Crushing possible.
Switch off the machine before setting the needle
thread quantity.
The needle thread quantity released for stitch formation is determined by the position of the needle thread regulator. The required
needle thread quantity depends on the thickness of the sewing
material, the thread strength, and the seam type.
In addition, the threading procedure varies with the needle threads
and the types of seams used.
Fig. 18: Setting the needle thread quantity (1)
(1) - Thre ad lever
Proper setting
• Less elastic threads:
The thread lever (1) is visible just above the needle thread
regulator when at bottom dead center.
• Very elastic threads:
The thread lever (1) is visible just below the needle thread
regulator when at bottom dead center.
1. Turn the handwheel until the thread lever (1) reaches its
bottom dead center.
2. Loosen the screws (2) of the needle thread regulator (3).
3. Move the needle thread regulator (3) to the correct position.
• For tight and normal seams (detail image (a)):
Feed the needle thread through the hole of the thread
lever (1) and then directly downwards.
• For elastic seams (detail image (b)):
Feed the needle thread through hole of the thread
lever (1) and then via the left bar of the needle thread
regulator (3).
4. Tighten the screws (2) for the needle thread regulator (3).
The hook thread quantity released is determined by the position
of the hook thread take-up. The hook thread take-up adapts the
hook thread quantity to each set stitch length to allow for the best
possible stitch pull at any length and even with stitch condensing
enabled.
The hook thread take-up can be adjusted continuously on a scale
from 0 to 5. The larger the value, the greater the released thread
quantity and the more elastic the seam.
Proper setting
The proper setting is dependent on the stitch length and the seam
type.
You need to ensure, especially when applying extreme settings,
that the needle reliably plunges into the thread triangle:
• Elastic seam (3) with a very short stitch length = scale 5
• Tighter seam (1) with a significantly increased stitch length =
scale 0
Depending on its equipment, the machine may be equipped with
a lower or an upper tape feeder.
Fig. 26: Switching the tape tensioner for the reinforcement tape on/off (1)
(1) - Tensioner element (top)
Fig. 27: Switching the tape tensioner for the reinforcement tape on/off (2)
(2) - Tensioner element (bottom)
On both tape feeders, the reinforcement tape is fed through a
tensioner element (1)/(2), which can be closed and opened as
necessary.
The tape tensioner is switched off for ruffling values of 0-7.
The tape tensioner is switched on automatically for ruffling values
of 8 and higher; the button (3) will then light up. The tape tensioner
can be switched off at any time.
If the reinforcement tape is not sewn straight relative to the seam,
the tape feeder may be too loose and/or the reinforcement tape
tension may be too low.
Ruffling is increased if the tape tension is too high and/or the tape
brake is set too tight.
The reinforcement tape tension can be set by adjusting the tape
tensioner ( p. 44). The tape brake regulates the tape feeder.
Depending on its equipment, the machine may be equipped with
a lower or an upper tape feeder for the reinforcement tape
( p. 30).
To ensure that the reinforcement tape is fed in a way that achieves
straight seam support and the desired ruffling value, the tape brake
must be set accordingly.
The principle that is used to brake the tape feeder is identical for
the upper and the lower feeder.
There is a risk of sustaining injuries at the
exposed blades.
Do not reach into the cutting area.
Class 550-12-34 is equipped with an edge cutter. The edge cutter
is switched on and off using the button (1) on the OP3000 control
panel.
In manual mode, the edge cutter can be switched on and off at
any time ( p. 66). The top blade is designed such that it will
penetrate reliably even if activated during sewing.
