IMPORTANT !
Various adjustments are mutually interdependent. The adjustme nt pro c es s m ust therefore be ca r ri ed ou t i n th e order given.
IMPORTANT !
The activities described in this Service manual may only be carried out by specialists or by persons with appropriate training.
Danger of breakage
Before the sewi n g mac h i ne is re- started followi ng di sm an tl i n g t he necessary adjustments must be carried out as specified in this service manual.
Avoidance of damage to the material clamps:
The sewing machine must never be operated without material. This also applies to ad j us t me nt wo r k an d f un c ti o n-t es t i ng .
Adjustment work on stitch-forming components
For all adjustments of stit c h-forming components a flawles s n ew needle must be fi t te d.
Caution: danger of injury
Before all repair, conversion and maintenance work:
turn off the main switch
isolate the s ew i ng ma c hi n e f rom the pneumatic s up pl y.
Exception: Adjustment work which is carried out with testing, adjustment or sewing programs of the control device.
Adjustment work and function-testing with the sewing machine running
When carryin g o ut ad jus t me nt wo r k an d f un c ti o n-t es t ing wi t h t he machine runni ng , c o mp l y wi t h a l l safety measures a nd ta k e t he utmost care.
Pedal

2.13 Lubrication
The oil passes from the oil reservoir 5 to the sump 1, from where the lubrication s po i nt s in the arm and sewi n g-h ea d r e gi o ns a re s u pp l i ed with oil.
The oil thrown off by t he c ran k me cha ni sm pa s s es a l on g t he wi ck 2 to the central distributor pipe 4 for the lubrication points located under the base plate. Excess oil drips into the oil-collection tray 6 and is returned to th e su mp 1 by the pump 3.
This provides effective lubrication with minimum oil consumption.
Caution: danger of injury
Turn off the main switc h. Work on the oil-circulation system may only be carried out with the sewing machi n e switched off.
IMPORTANT !
After work is completed it is essential to ensure that the hoses are correctly reconnected to the pump.
S = suction D = pressure
Regulation and inspection
The oil level must be checked every week. –
