8Installation and commissioning
The machine must only be installed and commissioned by qualified personnel!
All relevant safety regulations must be strictly adhered to!
If the machine is delivered without a table, be sure to use a stand and table top
that can hold the weight of the machine with its motor.
It is very important to ensure that the stand of the machine is firm and steady,
also during sewing.
8.01Installation
The site where the machine is installed must be provided with suitable connections for
electric current.
It must be ensured that the standing surface of the machine site is firm and horizontal, and
that sufficient lighting is provided for.
Installation and commissioning
For packing and transportation reasons the table top is in the lowered position.
The table height is adjusted as described below.

● Check the machine, in particular the electric leads and pneumatic connection tubes, for
any damage.
● Have mechanics ensure that the machine’s motor can be operated with the available
electricity supply.
● Connect the machine to the compressed air system. The manometer should show a
pressure of 6 bar.
If necessary, set this v alue ( see Chapter 1 2.04 Checking / adjusting the air pressure ).

8.04Setting the seam pattern size
After the machine has been switched on for the first time, first of all the seam
pattern sizes set in the machine control unit must be checked and corrected if
necessary. The seam pattern size depends on the cut-out size of the bed plate
and is set with parameter "204". If these instructions are not observed there is a
risk of severe damage to the machine!

The program moves automatically to the input of the next parameter.
● Switch the end knotting function „P08“ on/off with the corresponding plus/minus key.
● By pressing the seam pattern inputkey the values entered are stored and the machine
is in the basic position of the sewing mode.
By pressing the sewing mode/parameter input key the values are also stored,
and the machine is then in the parameter input mode.
By pressing the basic position key the seam pattern input is interrupted, the
old values are kept and the machine changes to the sewing mode.
To achieve the best results, cutting should take place at the left needle entry
position. This is achieved through the number of stitches and the location of the
needle entry positions.

12.01Cleaning the machine
Care and maintenance
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 individual 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 operation:
● Clean hook compartment and needle area of sewing head several times daily.
● Clean the entire machine at least once a week.

13.01Notes on adjustment
All following adjustments are based on a fully assembled machine and may only be carried
out by expert staff trained for this purpose.
Machine covers, which have to be removed and replaced to carry out checks and
adjustments, are not mentioned in the text.
The order of the following chapters corresponds to the most logical work sequence for
machines which have to be completely adjusted. If only specific individual work steps are
carried out, both the preceding and following chapters must be observed.
Screws, nuts indicated in brackets ( ) are fastenings for machine parts, which must be
loosened before adjustment and tightened again afterwards.
Adjustment
For all the general settings in these adjustment instructions, illustrations of the
subclass -1/.. have been used, the relevant points of which can be transferred
to subclass -4/ and -5/.. .
In the heading appropriate reference will be made to special settings, which are
only valid for certain subclasses.

13.42Data backup and protection with PC-program SAM
For the data transfer the PC and the machine are connected to each other with a null
modem cable (part-no. 91-291 998-91).
● Switch off the machine and the PC.
● Connect the serial interface (RS232 see Page 8-3) and serial PC-interface (COM 1-4) with
the cable provided.
● Switch on the PC. If necessary install SAM with the installation CD provided.
● Start SAM ("Start" "Programme" – "SAM") and set the corresponding COM-interface in the
● "settings" menu. In the "Machine" menu 3307 must be selected.
● Switch on the machine.
● Select parameter "203" on the machine.
● Press Enter.
● "203 ONLINE" appears on the display and the machine is in the slave mode, i.e. all other
operations will be started by SAM.
● Set up a connection to the machine using the SAM-menu "Setting up a machine
connection".
● If the connection was set up successfully, the data backup item of the SAM menu is
activated.
Either a complete (all data and programs) or selective data backup or protection
can be carried out. For this purpose the name of a backup database must be
entered, or a previously created backup database selected. The name of the
backup database can be chosen freely, but the character string "3307" must be
part of it.
● After the data has been transferred successfully, the connection to the machine can be
disconnected with the SAM menu "Machine – terminate the connection". The machine
leaves the slave mode and changes to the function group 200.
● Switch off the machine.
● Remove the cable from the serial interface (RS232).

13.43Internet update of the machine software
The machine software can be updated with PFAFF flash programming. For this purpose the
PFP boot program and the appropriate control software for the machine type must be
installed on a PC. To transfer the data to the machine, the PC and the machine control unit
must be connected with an appropriate null modem cable (part no. 91-291 998-91).
The PFP boot program and the control software of the machine type can be
downloaded from the PFAFF-homepage using the following path:
