CLSR-ST: V1.0
Section 1.0 - Safety
1.0 Safety Introduction
As with the operation of all machinery, safe operation of the CLSR-ST is a major concern
of ABM International, Inc. The purpose of this section is to inform personnel of the safe
and prudent operation of a CLSR-ST.
We have attempted to recommend the most effective methods and calculations to warn
against actions that could result in personal injury, or make equipment unsafe. It is
important to understand that ABM cannot anticipate, or list all conceivable safety
methods and warn of all the possible hazards. In the interest of promoting safety, ABM
advises that the operating personnel should always make sure that personal safety and the
safe operation of the machine will not be adversely affected by their actions.
It is imperative that the operating personnel of the CLSR-ST read and understand the
information in this manual before operating the machine.
1.1 Safety Policy Statement
The conservation of the assets of any company, which include the buildings, equipment,
supplies and inventories as well as personnel, must be and is the responsibility of all
levels of management. The purpose of a personnel and property conservation program is
to insure that all phases of management recognize that personnel and property
conservation are both inseparable parts of a company’s objective…to produce quality
products at the lowest possible cost.
Safety of personnel in every aspect must be of first consideration. The implementation of
a conservation program will eliminate human suffering and effectively lower the direct
and indirect costs resulting from employee injury. It will substantially reduce the
exposure and probability of damage and / or loss of company’s physical assets.
1.2 Safety Practices
The safety factors must be observed to ensure safe operation of the CLSR-ST.
1. Read and understand the operating instructions of the CLSR-ST before operating.
2. Use extreme caution when working around the CLSR-ST electrical controls.
3. Keep hands or other body parts away from the moving parts of the CLSR-ST.
4. Wear appropriate personal safety protection.
5. Stop the CLSR-ST immediately at any sign of malfunction or danger.
6. Do not crawl under or into the CLSR-ST for any reason during the operation of
the machine.
7. Do not reach into the CLSR-ST at any time during the operation of the machine.
8. Do not climb, walk, or stand on the CLSR-ST at any time.
9. Do not tamper with factory installed guards and or safety devices.
10. Never operate machinery without all ABM installed guards and safety devices
intact, and in working order.

CLSR-ST: V1.0
11. Before starting the CLSR-ST, ensure that no loose tools, bars or parts are lying in
or on any part of the machine.
12. Proper fire fighting equipment should be kept in good operating condition and
kept near in the event of fire.
13. Never attempt to service any of the pneumatic components until the unit is
relieved of all air pressure.
14. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry when operating the CLSR-ST.
15. Always keep hair from coming in contact with moving parts.

Section 2.0 – Machine Setup
2.0 Setup Instructions
The CLSR-ST is fully tested prior to breakdown and delivery to the customer. As a
result, this manual provides a section on machine setup so that you can install the
machine. Please read this manual in its’ entirety and follow all ABM instructions,
especially the inspections. Total setup time, less power and air hook-up, should take
approximately 1 hour.
Upon receipt of the machine, check to ensure that there is no visible damage Note: Some
components may be in different locations depending on the version of the machine.
2.1 Machinery Positioning
Determine the location in your facility for the panel cutter. Attach the four (8) machine
legs supplied with the machine to the plates that were used to bolt the machine to its skid.
Level and position the machine in the desired location. Though not required, ABM
recommends that the machine be bolted to the floor.
2.2 Power Installation
This section will confirm that the electronics of the machine is functioning properly.
WARNING : ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. IF A PROBLEM IS FOUND,
YOU SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR IT WITH THE POWER ON.
DISCONNECT THE MACHINE PRIOR TO ADJUSTING ANY COMPONENTS
WITHIN THE ELECTRICAL CABINET.
Run a 220VAC, single phase, 10A line to the main cabinet location. As with any
machine, power should be run through approved conduit and ducting with proper
termination. ABM does not supply a main power disconnect with the machine and
recommends that the customer install one. You may connect the power to the machine at
this time.
Turn the main power switch to ON. An LED on the switch box will signify that power
has been applied. Wait a few moments for the system BEEP. After the BEEP has
sounded, the machine may be operated according to the procedures outlayed in the
PFAFF manuals found in the appendix.

Section 3.0 – Operation
The CLSR-ST Conveyor had been designed to feed the comforter at a speed relative to
the sewing speed of the machine. When the operator presses the foot pedal the sewing
machine begins to sew and the conveyor responds with a variable speed. Pressing the
foot pedal further increases the speed of sewing and feed rate of the conveyor. Releasing
the foot pedal causes the sewing machine and conveyor to come to a stop.
If the speed relationship between the conveyor and sewing machine must be adjusted,
parameter 24 of the variable frequency drive should be modified. A larger value for
parameter 24 will increase the conveyor speed to sewing speed. A smaller value will
reduce the speed of the conveyor. See the appendix for further information on parameter
modification.

Section 4.0 – Troubleshooting guide
This section is included to help diagnose and solve any problems that may occur with the
CLSR-ST. ABM has done its best to include as much information as possible. However,
not all problems are listed, therefore ABM asks that whenever a problem occurs you
contact a service technician at our home office. To reach service dial 281-443-4440 and
ask for a service technician, they are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
4.1 Electrical Power
The CLSR-ST runs on a 10 amp, 220VAC single phase supply line.
4.2 Verifying Inputs and Outputs
The CLSR-ST performs all of its functions through the foot pedal and operator interface
on the sewhead. Consult the sewhead manuals for instructions on input and output
control.
4.3 Pneumatic systems
The CLSR-ST does not contain any pneumatic systems installed at the factory.
4.4 Troubleshooting notes
A few blank pages are provided so that you and your personnel can keep records and
notes of machine problems. By using this section and keeping it attached to the manual,
you will always have your own personalized quick reference repair section.
