Proper use
1 Proper use
The PFAFF 487-918/55, 489-918/55 and the PFAFF 5487-918/55 are single-needle,
ultra-high-speed sewing machines with programmable fullness control.
The PFAFF 487-918/55 and the 489-918/55 are used to sew lockstitch seams in
industry.
The PFAFF 5487-918/55 is used to sew two-thread chain stitch seams in industry.
Any and all uses of this machine which have not been approved of by the
manufacturer are considered to be inappropriate! The manufacturer cannot be
held liable for any damage caused by the inappropriate use of the machine!
The appropriate use of the machine includes the observance of all operational,
adjustment, maintenance and repair measures required by the manufacturer!

.01 Knee Switch
Manual sewing:
By operating knee switch ● 1 it is possi-
ble to alternate between two pre-set
amounts of fullness.
Programmed sewing:
By operating knee switch ● 1 the amounts
of fullness are changed according to the
program selected.

2.02 Control panel

Fig. 2 - 02
The current operating conditions are displayed on control panel 1. Operation takes place in a
constant dialogue between the control unit and the operator. For this purpose, depending on
the operating condition of the machine, different symbols and/or texts are displayed. If the
symbols or texts are framed, these show functions which can be selected by pressing the
appropriate position on the monitor. By pressing the corresponding function this is carried
out or switched on or off immediately, or a further menu appears, e.g. for entering a value.
6
Controls
Activated functions are shown with inverted symbols. Unframed symbols or texts are only
used for display purposes and cannot be selected by pressing.
To read sewing programs or install machine software, use the sd-card 2 in the control
panel.
Description of the functions
Normal symbol = function switched off (inactive)
Inverted symbol = function switched on (active)
2.03 Keyboard
The keyboard is used for the quick operation of the machine during sewing and when selecting the fullness. With the corresponding LED of the 20 keys, active key functions are displayed (Function active = LED lit).

Single stitch
If the single stitch key is pressed, the machine sews a single stitch. ●
Stitch condensation
(only on the PFAFF 5487)
The stitch condensation is switched on and off by pressing a key. ●
(When programming the seam: Sew the seam section with condensed stitches)
7
Controls
Reverse sewing direction (only on the PFAFF 487), 489
As long as the reverse sewing key is pressed, the machine sews in reverse. For the pro- ●
gramming and learning functions, the relevant seam section is programmed "in reverse".
Bartack suppression
If the bartack function is activated, by pressing this key once the next bartack and by ●
pressing it twice the next two bartacks are not sewn.
Correction value + / correction value -
If this key is pressed, the fullness value is increased or reduced in ● 2 steps. Fullness va-
lue 0 is not corrected. To make this possible, a correction value different to 0 must be
entered in parameter 209.
Number keys 0 - 14
The previously allocated amount of fullness is called up by pressing a key. ●
When two neighbouring number keys are pressed simultaneously, the corresponding
average value is selected.
In the manual sewing mode, the fullness can be allocated to the individual keys. The ●
current fullness value (which can be set on the touch-screen) is allocated to a key if it is
pressed for a long time (>3s). A bleep signalizes that the value has been saved.
Following values are pre-set and can be altered as described above.
Key 0: No fullness will be applied.
Key 14: Maximum fullness is selected.
The fullness values are designed for a basic stitch length of 2.5 mm. When se-
wing with shorter stitch lengths, the gathering intensity is increased, with lon-
ger stitch lengths it is reduced accordingly.
