A - INTRODUCTION
The sewing machine S 4000 ISBH is designed and produced to be very reliable. Important design goals have been
to provide a safe machine that is simple and in expensive to maintain.
The patented rotary needle bar shaft drive, a major benet, delivers longer needle bar life. The benets of lower
vibration and less noise, translate into less operator fatigue. Simple buttonhole length adjustment located outside
the machine, eliminates the need for tilt back, while the quick stop repair function delivers safety and makes repairs
easier.
Special electronic and mechanical safety devices protect the operator and the machine. There is a special power lock
out switch that permits the ma machine to be locked in the o󰀨 position so that it cannot be cycled accidentally. There
is an emergency o󰀨 switch. There is a low air pressure detector that will not permit machine operation if air pressure
is dangerously low.
There are safety-warning labels on the machine in all required special care. These must not be removed. If they are
lost replace them immediately.
You are the most important safety equipment of all. Be sure you understand the proper operation of the machine.
Never remove safety mechanism or labels. We have made every e󰀨ort to provide the safest possible machine, but
without complete knowledge of how this machine operates, and the use of proper care by the operator, this machine
can cause serous injury of death. That is why there are safety warnings throughout these instructions that cary one
of these messages.
DANGER! Possible loss of life.
WARNING! Possible serious injury or machine damage.
NOTICE! Possible injury or machine damage.
We recommend that service workers from AMF Reece oversee the installation and initial training of your mechanics
and operators. The most e󰀨ective safety precaution is a well-managed safety program. Be sure those who use
this machine are properly trained. Never disable safety equipment. Always wear safety goggles when operating or
servicing the machine.

3. POWER AND AIR CONNECTION
B - MACHINE ASSEMBLY
1. The machine is equipped with a quick coupler
required with connector for inner Ø of the tube 10.
The connector for inner Ø of the tube 8 is not supplied
with the machine, a customer has to order it. The
manufacturer recommends to use connector for
customers who requires to connect the tube with
connector NPT. If a customer needs to use a shut o󰀨
valve , which allows fast releasing of the air from the
circuit, he must order it. A variety of connectors can
be used separately or in combination to adapt to the
available input supply hose. It depends on type of the
tube which is used by a customer. These connectors are
not included in the accessories. A tubing clamp is
provided.
NOTE: Parts , , , are included in Extra Parts.
2 . After air connection check the set air pressure on the dial of the regulator. It should be in range 0.5 - 0.6
MPa. The green pointer indicates the lowest working air pressure 0.5 MPa, which is set from the manufacturer
on the regulator . If the air pressure is lower than 0.5 Mpa after connecting the machine to the power supply
„Low Pressure“ message appears on the control panel display. To adjust the working pressure, loosen the regulator
cap lock and turn the regulator cap clockwise to increase the pressure. Push the regulator cap down.
3. Power supply must be 208 to 230 volts 1 phase, 50 or 60 Hertz. Receptacle plug must meet requirements of IEC
standard 364-4-41, its circuit breaker must be minimal 10A with characteristic C according to the EN 60947-2 (or 16A
with characteristic B). No other devices must not be connected to the circuit breaker of the socker. The hand wheel
must turn counter clockwise. The machine is equipped with a lters which contain capacitors which generate an
high frequency leakage current. In order to prevent nuisance tripping, residual current protection device must be
protected against these high frequency currents: this is the case for industrial residual current device (example „S“
type).

1. POWER UP / HOME POSITION
C - PROPER APPLICATION
1. Turn the main power switch on by turning clockwise to the I position.
2. The machine is ready for operation when the control panel display lights, the Ready message appears on the
display and the green LED lights on display. The machine must be in the home position
before starting to sew (to be certain, press the foot pedal and sew one dummy buttonhole).
3. It is possible to instal power voltage control (Voltage monitoring relay HRN 35) in to the machine
control system. This power voltage control cautions a machine operator if the supply voltage is
not in the required range (185V - 255V) and the machine could be damaged - see section E19.
Note: The power voltage guard is installed in the machine only if a customer has ordered it with a machine.
