If the machine is only being used to wind the bobbin (without sewing), a bobbin
case must be inserted in the hook! (Danger of damage to the hook).
● The tension of the thread on bobbin 1 can be adjusted with knurled screw 4.
● The bobbin winder stops automatically when bobbin 1 is full.
● Remove the fi lled bobbin 1 and cut the thread on knife 5.
If the thread is wound unevenly, loosen nut 6 and turn thread guide 7 accordingly. Retighten nut 6 after the adjustment.

Removing the bobbin case:
● Tilt back the machine.
● Raise latch 1 and remove bobbin case 2.
Inserting the bobbin case:

.01 Servicing and maintenance intervals
Clean .................................................................daily, more often if in continuous operation
Check oil level ..........................................................................................................monthly
Oil the trimmer -731/01 ........................once a week, more often if in continuous operation
These maintenance intervals are calculated for the average running time of a
single shift operation. If the machine is operated more than this, shorter inter-
vals are recommended.
10.02 Cleaning the machine
The cleaning cycle required for the machine depends on following factors:
● Single or several shift operation
● Amount of dust resulting from the workpiece
It is therefore only possible to stipulate the best possible cleaning instructions for each indi-
vidual case.
For all cleaning work the machine must be disconnected from the mains
by switching off the on/off switch or by removing the mains plug!
Danger of injury if the machine suddenly starts up .
To avoid breakdowns, the following cleaning
work is recommended for single shift ope-
ration:
● Swing out the cover plate and tilt back
the sewing head.
● Clean the hook and hook compartment
daily, more often if in continuous opera-
tion.
Return the machine to its upright position using both hands!
Danger of injury by crushing
between the edge of the
machine and the table top!

● Whenever it is necessary to refi ll the re-
servoir, tilt back the machine and let it
rest on the sewing head support.
● Fill oil through hole 1 into the reservoir 2

Use both hands to set the sew-
ing head upright!
Danger of crushing between the
