Installation and commissioning

8 Installation and commissioning

The machine must only be installed and commissioned by qualified personnel!

8.01 Installation

The site where the machine is installed must be provided with suitable connections for the
electric current, see Chapter 3 Specifications.
It must also be ensured that the standing surface of the machine site is firm and horizontal,
and that sufficient lighting is provided.

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.

For packing and transportation reasons the table top is in the lowered position.
The table height is adjusted as described below.

If the machine is delivered with stand, the transit lock must be removed before
commissioning, see Chapter 8.01.02 Removing the transit lock.

9.06 Selecting a seam program

9.06.01 Selecting and changing the seam pattern.

To avoid the machine starting accidentally, to begin with the TE key must be pressed, af­ter the machine has been switched on. The machine is then in its basic position and offers a

number of possibilities for selecting seam programs.

- Direct selection of the seam pattern and its individual adaptation by changing the speed
and size factors.

- Selection of the seam program via a program station. For this purpose a seam pattern with
its respective speed and corresponding size factors must have been stored previously.

- With the selection of a sequence several seam programs are sewn after each other. For
this purpose a sequence must have been compiled beforehand from individual seam pro
grams (program stations).

With this function the control unit
carries out a cold start (RESET) with

again.

With this function and the adjustment
gauge, the zero points for the X/Y-drive
unit can be set. (stepping motor cor­rection values for the reference points
REFX, REFY). The access code is
required for this adjustment.

This function is used to set the cen­tre of the button clamp in X-direction.
When entering the function, the ma­chine moves to the current clamp cen­tre, after which it is possible to move
to the right or left edge of the button
clamp, depending on the set limits (pa­ram. "023"). A correction can be made
with the plus/minus keys. The relocati­on value is displayed.

Oiling the needle head parts ............................................................................... as required

Oiling the hook .................................................................................................... as required

Oiling the bearing points in the arm ................................................................once a month

During all cleaning work the machine must be disconnected from the power
supply by switching off the main switch or pulling out the plug!
Danger of injury if the machine is started accidentally!

12.02 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 operation:

Clean hook compartment and needle area of sewing head several times daily.

●

Clean the entire machine at least once a week.
