The greatest danger inherent in our machines:
is that of fingers, hands or loose clothing being drawn into a machine by live, coasting or rotating tools
or assemblies or of being cut by sharp tools or burned by hot elements.
ALWAYS BE CONSCIOUS OF THESE DANGERS!
Safety Equipment on the Machines
All machines are delivered with safety equipment, which shall not be removed or
bypassed during operation.
The correct functioning of safety equipment on machines and systems should be
checked every day and before every new shift starts, after maintenance and repair
work, when starting up for the first time and when restarting (e.g. after prolonged
shutdowns).
If safety equipment has to be dismantled for setting-up, maintenance or repair work, such safety
equipment shall be replaced and checked immediately upon completing the maintenance or repair work.
All protective mechanisms shall be fitted and fully operational whenever the machine is at a standstill or
if it has been shut down for a longer period of time.

Important Notices
Reporting and Fighting Fires
Read the instructions posted in the factory with regard to reporting fires and the emergency exits. Make
sure you know exactly where the fire extinguishers and sprinkler systems are located and how they are
operated. Pass on the corresponding information to the firemen when they arrive. Ensure there are
enough signs to avoid fire hazards.
The following fire extinguishers may be used:
- Dry powder extinguishers, ABC fire-extinguishing powder.
- Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers to DIN 14461 for electronic components. Great care must be
exercised when using carbon dioxide fire extinguishers in confined, badly ventilated rooms (see DIN
14406 and 14270).
Isolate the machine from the power supply if a fire breaks out. Do not use water on burning electrical
parts until it is absolutely certain that they have been completely disconnected from the power supply.
Burning oils, lubricants, plastics and coatings on the machine can give off gases and vapors that may be
harmful to your health.
A qualified person should be consulted to repair the damage after a fire.
Electrical Power Supply
Before undertaking any maintenance or repair work on the machine, switch off the
electrical power to the machine at the main source and secure it with a padlock so
that it cannot be switched on again without authorization.
In practice, this may mean that the technician, electrician and operator all attach
their own padlock to the master switch simultaneously so that they can carry out
their work safely. Locking extension plates should be available for multiple locks if
required. The primary purpose for a lockout/tagout procedure is to protect workers
from injury caused by unexpected energizing or start-up of equipment.
Energy sources (electrical/pneumatic/hydraulic, etc.) for the equipment shall be turned off or
disconnected and the switches locked or labeled with a warning tag. It is the responsibility of the
employer to establish control procedures. Follow lockout/tagout procedures before, setup and/or any
service or maintenance work is performed, including lubrication, cleaning or clearance of jams.
Caution: The machine is still not completely de-energized even when the master
switch is off.
- Electricity - The machine is always isolated from the electrical power supply whenever the master
switch has been switched off. However, this does not apply for the power supply in the control cabinet,
nor for equipment that does not draw its power via the master switch.
- Pneumatic / hydraulic energy - Almost all our machines carry compressed air. In addition to switching
off the master switch, the air supply must also be disconnected and the machine checked to ensure it is
depressurized before starting any work on the machine; otherwise the machine may execute
uncontrolled movements.

if the machine has to be stored for a longer period of time and additional precautions taken to avoid
corrosion.
Transporting the Machine
Disconnect the machine from all external connections and secure any loose assemblies or parts. Never
step under a suspended load. When transporting the machine or assemblies in a crate, ensure that the
ropes or arms of a forklift truck are positioned as close to the edge of the crate as possible. The center of
gravity is not necessarily in the middle of the crate. Note the accident prevention regulations, safety
instructions and local regulations governing transport of the machine and its assemblies.
Only use suitable transport vehicles, hoisting gear and load suspension devices that are in perfect
working order and of adequate carrying capacity. Transport should only be entrusted to duly qualified
personnel.
Never allow the straps to rest against the machine enclosure and never push or pull sensitive parts of the
machine. Ensure that the load is always properly secured. Before or immediately after loading the
machine, secure it properly and affix corresponding warnings.
All transport guards and lifting devices must be removed before the machine is started up again. Any
parts that are to be removed for transport must be carefully refitted and secured before the machine is
started up again.
Workplace Environment
Our machines are designed for use in enclosed rooms: Permissible ambient temperature approx. 5 - 40
°C (40 - 104 °F). Malfunctions of the control systems and uncontrolled machine movements may occur
at temperatures outside this range.
Protect against climatic influences, such as electrostatic charges, lightning strikes, hail, storm damage,
high humidity, salinity of the air in coastal regions.

Technical Manual & Parts Lists
7
Protect against influences from the surroundings: no structure-borne vibrations, no grinding dust, or
chemical vapors.
Protect against unauthorized access.
Ensure that the machine and accessories are set up in a stable position.
Ensure easy access for operation and maintenance (Instruction Manual and layout diagram); also verify
that the floor is strong enough to carry the weight of the machine.
Local Regulations
Particular attention must be paid to local and statutory regulations, etc. when installing machines and the
plant (e.g. with regard to the specified escape routes). Note the safety zones in relation to adjacent
machines.
Maintenance
General Safety Instructions
The machine shall be switched off, come to a standstill and be secured so that it cannot be switched on
again inadvertently before starting any maintenance work whatsoever. Use proper lockout/tagout
procedures to secure the machine against inadvertent startup.

Replacement Parts
We cannot accept any liability whatsoever for damage due to the use of parts made by other
manufacturers or due to unqualified repair or modification of the machine.
Repair, Electrical
The power supply must be switched off (master switch off) and secured so that it cannot be switched on
again inadvertently before starting any work on live parts.
Those parts of the machine and plant on which inspection, maintenance or repair work is to be carried
out must be isolated from the power supply, if specified. The isolated parts must first be checked to
determine that they are truly de-energized before being grounded and short-circuited. Adjacent live parts
must also be isolated.
The protective measures implemented (e.g. grounding resistance) must be tested before restarting the
machine after all assembly or repair work on electric parts.
Signal generators (limit switches) and other electrical parts on the safety mechanisms must not be
removed or bypassed. Only use original fuses or circuit overloads with the specified current rating. The
machine must be switched off immediately if a fault develops in the electrical power supply.
The electrical equipment of our machines must be checked at regular intervals and any defects found
must be remedied immediately.
If it is necessary to carry out work on live parts, a second person should be on hand to operate the
emergency OFF switch or master switch with voltage release in the event of an emergency. The working
area should be cordoned off and marked by a warning sign. Only use electrically insulated tools.
Ventilation/Hazardous Gases
It is the end users responsibility to ensure adequate ventilation is provided to exhaust any and all
noxious or hazardous gases that may be present in the working environment.
Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems
Work on hydraulic or pneumatic equipment shall only be carried out by persons with training,
knowledge and experience of hydraulic systems. Pressure lines shall be depressurized before starting

Light Tower Function
The purpose of the 3200PB1 light tower is to indicate the current status of the machine at some
distance away from the machine. This makes it easy to see machine status at a glance. Definitions for the
different light states currently available on the 3200 are included below.
Light Status Definition
Green Steady Normal, machine producing borders
Green Flashing Machine producing borders but will stop soon for bobbin change.
Yellow Steady Normal, machine powered but idling between borders.
Yellow Flashing
Machine stopped in middle of order and needs operator activity before
continuing.
Red Not currently utilized. Available for future use.
Calibrating Default Border Lengths
When installing the Model 3200PB1 border machine, it is necessary to first obtain new default
border lengths for all mattress sizes. To obtain these lengths determine which border-making table will
be used to check the borders coming off of the 3200PB1 machine. Using this table, a measurement of
every border size needs to be made by wrapping a measuring tape around the arm and measuring to the
cut mark for each border size.
After all of the default border lengths have been recorded, they must be stored in the controller of
the 3200PB1 machine. To store the default border lengths in the 3200PB1 controller press Edit New
Order and then Customize Style. Change the default border lengths to match the values measured on the
border table. NOTE: length of borders is displayed in tenths of inches. For example: king size value of
3040 is equivalent to 304.0 inches

Technical Manual & Parts Lists

Machine Operation
Turn on the power and select the desired language (if other than English) and wait until the touch
screen displays the Ready – New Order screen.
Initial Border Loading Procedure
Press the Open Rollers button, the Prefeed Roller and the Main Roller lift up.
Open the Material Guides wider than the expected border width to be loaded.
Load a roll of border material on the Border Roll Holder. If the leading edge of the border is not of good
quality, or it is not square, cut off the bad part and square off the leading edge. This will make the border
loading process much easier.
Feed the border between the 2" roller and the 3/4" rod, across the prefeed table, and between the prefeed
drive rollers. Then feed over the upper rollers, through the guillotine and stop with the end of the border
protruding slightly beyond the knife blades. Adjust the guides to fit the border size using the adhesive
rulers provided. Hold the border in place and press the Close Rollers button. Be sure not to cover the
Border Prefeed Slack Eye.
Note: If you get a message “Border Slack Warning” on the screen, walk over to prefeed part of the
machine and press the Raise Roller push button mounted on the cover of the prefeed roller, pull the
slack out, and press the button again to lower the prefeed roller. If the message “Border Slack Warning”
comes up again with no slack present, most likely the slack eye is not adjusted properly to see the
reflective tape on the side panel of the machine, or the eye is not working properly and needs to be
checked.

When the machine runs out of border material, it
stops and automatically back feeds about 10 inches to make the border splicing easier. The screen
displays an “Out of Border Material” message. Load the next border roll on the pin, and staple its
leading edge to the trailing edge of the border currently in the machine.
Also, to make the operation of the 3200PB1 machine more efficient, the border splicing on the
Sewing Station must be performed correctly.
Machine Adjustments
The following adjustments will have already been made before the unit is shipped from the
factory.
Adjust the spring screw on the guillotine to make sure the blade cuts the material.
Adjust the roller down cylinder so that the rollers touch with little or no pressure.
Adjust the cylinders on the prefeed rollers the same.
Adjust the counter balance springs on the prefeed seam detector rollers to counter balance 70% of the
weight.
