1. Setting Up the Machine
The Pfaff 463 drop-feed sewing machine, like the other models in the new
line of high-speed seomers, con be set up only on o power table fitted with
the new rubber hinge bracket
and
cushion set.
The front corners of the bedplate

rubber
cushions which
are
face-milled on the underside and rest on
are
recessed into the
tabletop.
At the back, the new-type hinge studs connect the sewing head to the pins in
the two rubber hinge brockets. This mounting prevents the machine from com
ing in contact with the tabletop.
The machine is carefully balanced and causes procticatly no vibration. What
ever vibration there is, will be absorbed by the rubber hinge brackets.
