7.03 Control panel
The current operating statuses are indicated on the control panel 1. The machine is operated
with constant dialogue between the control unit and the operator; different pictograms and
/ or texts are displayed for this purpose according to the operating status of the machine.
Pictograms or texts with a border represent functions that can be called up by pressing on
the respective point on the monitor. Pressing the respective function causes its immediate
actuation or activation/deactivation or another menu will appear, e.g. for inputting a value.
Activated functions are indicated by pictograms shown inversely. Pictograms or texts
without a border are only used for display purposes and cannot be called up by pressing
them.
The SD card 2 in the control panel can be used to import seam programs and operating
software.

simultaneously.
The bobbin 1 fi lls up during sewing.
If the machine is only run for bobbin winding (without sewing), a bobbin case
must be fi tted in the hook!
Otherwise a jammed thread may damage the hook!
The tension of the thread on the bobbin 1 can be adjusted with the knurled thumb screw 4.
The bobbin winder stops automatically when the bobbin 1 is suffi ciently full.
Remove the fi lled bobbin 1 and cut the thread with the knife 5.
The fi ll amount of the bobbin 1 can be adjusted with the pin 8 (loosen the screw 9 and

11 .06 Rights of access
The functions that can be called up with the control panel are classifi ed by code numbers
and can be protected from unauthorised access. To this end, the control unit differentiates
between three user groups (user 1, 2 and 3), all of which can be assigned a corresponding
PIN. If a function is selected for which the user does not have authorisation, the user is
requested to input a PIN. The selected function is carried out after the appropriate PIN has
been entered. In addition to the 3 user groups, the control unit also recognises the so-called
"super user" who has a key switch to access all functions and who is authorised to stipulate
the rights of access.
Enter the key switch and switch on the machine.

12.02 Cleaning the machine
The required cleaning cycle for the machine depends on the following factors:
Single or multi-shift operation
Dust formation caused by the workpieces
Optimal cleaning instructions can therefore only be determined on a case-by-case basis.
Disconnect the machine from the electricity mains for all cleaning work by
shutting off the main switch or removing the mains plug!
Risk of injury due to accidental machine start-up!
The following cleaning tasks are recommended during a single shift operation to avoid
operational errors:
Clean the hook area and needle area several times a day.
Clean the whole machine at least once a week.

Danger of machine damage!
Check the oil level daily, add oil through the hole 3 as needed up to the line as
a maximum.
The oil tank 4 serves solely for topping up the oil reservoir 2 and not for
displaying the oil level.
Only use oil with a centre viscosity of 22.0 mm2/s at 40 °C and a density of
0.865 g/cm3 at 15°C!

Observe and comply with all instructions in the operating manual's chapter
1 Safety! In particular make sure that all safety covers are installed again
correctly after making adjustments, see chapter 1.06 Operating manual
hazard information!
Unless otherwise stated, the machine must be disconnected from the power
supply before all adjustment work!
Risk of injury due to accidental machine start-up!
No screw clamp may be fastened to the needle bar on the PFAFF 3586!
This may damage the special needle bar coating.
13.01 Notes on adjustment
All adjustments in this manual are based on a fully assembled machine and may only be
carried out by technical 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 that have to be completely adjusted. Both the preceding and following chapters
must be observed if only specifi c individual work steps are carried out. The screws and nuts
indicated in brackets ( ) are fastenings for machine parts, which must be loosened before any
adjustment and tightened again afterwards.
