8 Installation 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.

8.01 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.

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

Installation and commissioning

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

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).

The enlargement of the seam pattern is limited by the size of the machine’s se­wing area.

The altered speed and size factors entered are not stored when the machine
changes to another seam program. If you wish to store these values, a station
key must be reserved with the corresponding seam program, see Chapter 11.01

9.07 Adjusting the size of the sewing area

A comparison between the sewing area
size entered and the actual sewing area size
of the work clamp ensures that seam pro­grams, which are not within the sewing area

size, cannot be sewn.

If the actual and the entered se­wing area size do not concur
with each other, severe damage
can be caused to the machine!

This parameter is used to set the NIS
signal. If the function is executed, the
position can be entered by turning the
balance wheel. If the position is alte­red, the result is a change in the point
of time when the carriage is moved.
The access code is necessary for this
adjustment.

The sequence for a complete thread
trimming cycle is started with the +/­key (+) below CUT and below THR.

With this function the control unit
carries out a cold start (RESET) with
which the data is reset. After this func­tion has been selected, the machi­ne must be switched off and then on
again.

With this function and the adjustment
gauge, the zero points for the X/Y-drive

This function is used to set the cen­tre of the clamp in X-direction. When
entering the function, the machine
moves to the current clamp centre,

the right or left edge of the clamp,
depending on the set limits (param.
"023"). A correction can be made with
the plus/minus keys. The relocation va­lue is displayed.

610 Setting the clamp centre Y

This function is used to help set the
centre of the clamp in Y-direction. Af­ter entering this function, the machine
moves to the current clamp centre,

Care and maintenance

12 Care and maintenance

12.01 Maintenance intervals

Clean the entire machine ................................................................................. once a week

Clean the hook compartment ..........once a day, more often when in continuous operation

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 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.

●
