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.

Technical Manual & Parts Lists

Interim Storage
If the machine has to be stored temporarily, it must be oiled or greased and stored in a dry place where it
is protected from the weather in order to avoid damage. A corrosion-inhibiting coating should be applied
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.
Remove any oil, grease, dirt and waste from the machine, particularly from the connections and screws,
when starting the maintenance and/or repair work. Do not use any corrosive-cleaning agents. Use lint-
free rags.
Retighten all screw connections that have to be loosened for the maintenance and repair work. Any
safety mechanisms that have to be dismantled for setting-up, maintenance or repair purposes must be
refitted and checked immediately after completing the work.
Maintenance, Care, Adjustment
The activities and intervals specified in the Instruction Manual for carrying out adjustments,
maintenance and inspections must be observed and parts replaced as specified.
All hydraulic and pneumatic lines should be examined for leaks, loose connections, rubbing and damage
whenever the machine is serviced. Any defects found must be remedied immediately.
Waste, Disassembly, Disposal
Waste products should be cleared from the machine as soon as possible as not to create a fire hazard.
Ensure that fuels and operating lubricants, as well as replacement parts are disposed of in a safe and
ecologically acceptable manner. Note the local regulations on pollution control.
When scrapping (disassembling) the machine and its assemblies, ensure that these materials are disposed
of safely. Either commission a specialist company familiar with the local regulations or note the local
regulations when disposing of these materials yourself. Materials should be sorted properly.

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.

Touch-Screen Operation
The graphics images presented on the touch screen show “3-dimensional” buttons, which may be
pressed to access other screens, change counters and timers, or actuate hardware. Areas lacking the “3-
dimensional” border contain information only. Counters are identified with the “+” and “-” buttons in
the corners. These counters may be adjusted by pressing the “+” and “-” boxes. Pressing RESET from
any screen clears all machine functions and returns to the main READY page. Normal operation of the
machine is controlled from the main READY menu. From here you can start the Auto Cycle. The main
READY menu allows anyone to access the necessary functions and adjustments needed for normal
operation of the machine.
There are also advanced adjustments available, which allow access to the advanced functions of
the machine. These functions are only accessible by an authorized mechanic, and include: timers that
control machine hardware, input and output test screens, machine statistics, and error history, etc. To get
to the advanced functions the appropriate password must be entered at the security screen. Security
access is reset whenever the main power is turned off, or the RESET button on the READY page is
pressed.
Light Tower Function
The purpose of the 3300 light tower is to indicate 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 3300 are included below.
Calibrating Default Border Lengths During Initial Machine Installation
When installing the Model 3300 border handle tacking station, 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 3300 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.
See (Appendix B) “Figure 4: Using Border Stretch Table to Obtain Current Border Lengths” on page 85.
After all of the default border lengths have been recorded, they must be stored in the controller of the
3300 machine. To store the default border lengths in the 3300 controller press “Setup” and then
“Advanced Setup”. Using the + and – buttons under each border size, 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. See (Appendix B) “Figure 1:
Border Handle Placement Specifications” on page 82.

Machine Operation
Turn on the power and select language (if other than English) and wait until the touch screen
displays the READY – NEW ORDER screen.
Initial Border Loading Procedure
1. Press ROLLER OPEN button, the PREFEED ROLLER and the MAIN ROLLER lift up.
2. Open the material guides wider than the expected border width to be loaded.
3. Load a roll of border material on the border roll loading pin. 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.
4. Feed the border between the 2" roller and the 3/4" rod, across the prefeed table, down through
the opening and under the lower roller, back up through the opening and between the prefeed
drive rollers. Then into the front guides on the main frame, across the table, 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. Hold the border in place and press the "LOWER ROLLERS"
button.
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 that the eye is not working properly and needs to
be checked.
Handle Indexer Loading Method
For the optimum performance and minimal machine downtime, you need to obtain two spools of
each color of handle strap and store them near the machine. Load the handle indexer with two spools of
the most commonly used color. This method will allow quick handle spool changing when one spool
runs out of material, and give the operator some time to prepare the next spool while the machine is
running.
Handle Spool Indexing Procedure
Select the proper color handle for the loaded border by pressing and holding down the push
button switch on top of the handle indexer handle. This lifts the handle feed roller, lifts the locking pin,
and extends the handle bridge cylinder, allowing the handle indexer to move. Index the frame until you
feel the frame click in place, when the proper handle lines up with the handle knife assembly. Release
the push button switch. This locates and locks the indexer in place, and it is ready for automatic
operation.

Bobbin Handling Method
The 3300 machine comes with two bobbin cases to allow the operator to optimize her/his
performance. One full bobbin should always be in a case ready to be loaded. Therefore; when the
machine pauses its automatic operation and posts a message on the screen that it is time to change the
bobbin, the operator must pull the nearly empty bobbin and replace it with the new bobbin already in the
case. Then press CONTINUE button to resume the automatic operation. Once the machine resumes its
automatic operation, the operator can prepare the next bobbin and load it in the empty case.
This bobbin changing method results in optimum performance and minimal machine downtime.
Always! change the bobbin when the machine displays the “Bobbin Warning” message. If there is
consistently too much thread left on the old bobbin, or the bobbin runs out of thread at times, change the
bobbin counter to optimize bobbin usage. To adjust the bobbin counter/monitor go to the main screen,
press the SETUP button, and press the BOBBIN MONITOR button and adjust the HANDLES PER
BOBBIN count using + or – buttons.
Setting up the Machine To Make Borders
1. To setup the machine to make the desired borders go to the main READY – NEW ORDER
screen and press the large EDIT NEW ORDER button.
2. The new screen EDIT ORDER displays all available options: the size, quantity of whole and half
borders, number of handles per border, and the type of fill material in the border (foam or fiber)
can be set here. Select the desired combination and press EXIT button to get back to the main
READY – NEW ORDER screen. You are now ready to make borders.
3. There are two START buttons on the READY - NEW ORDER screen. The top START button is
used to start the AUTO cycle when the next order will use the same tick style. When the machine
is started with this button the last border of the current order will be completed without stopping
for a tick change. When you are ready to start the last order on the current tick style, start the
machine with the lower START (final order) button. When the last border of the order is about
half way complete the machine will stop and display the message PAUSE TO SPLICE. The
prefeed rollers will backup slightly to create some slack material. WARNING: DO NOT OPEN
THE ROLLERS DURING THIS PROCEEDURE. Cut off the border material between the roll
and the prefeed table. Load the new roll of border material on to the spindle. Pull the slack
material back and attach the new roll of border material to it. Press CONTINUE to restart the
machine. The unfinished border will be completed and the machine will stop to allow you to
enter the new order for the new tick. Adjust the guides to fit the new tick width. When the
machine is started, the splice will be cut out automatically as the first border is made.

Border Splicing Method
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. See (Appendix B) “Figure 2: Border Splicing Method for Model 3300” on
page 83.
Also, to make the operation of the 3300 machine more efficient, the border splicing on the
Serging Station must be performed correctly. See (Appendix B) “Figure 3: Border Splicing Method for
Model 1961” on page 84.
Quality Checksheet & Procedure
Refer to the “Border Handle Quality Checksheet” on page 15 and
(Appendix B) “Figure 1: Border Handle Placement Specifications” on page 82.
1. The operator of the 3300 Border Handle Machine must check a border four (4) times each shift
(at start-up, 1st break, lunch, 2nd break) and fill out the Border Handle Quality Checksheet
according to the following procedure
2. Insert a "P" for pass or "F" for fail on the chart for each item.
3. Write in size of border being checked. Twin, Full, etc.
4. Check handle spacing. Measure between centers of both pairs of handles. Measurement should
be 29" plus or minus ½".
5. Check horizontal position of handles. Measure from one end of border to center of first handle
(A dimension). Measure from other end of border to center of first handle (C dimension). The A
and C dimensions should be equal within ½". Measure from the centers of the inside handles (B
dimension). The B dimension should be equal to one inch less than two times the A dimension.
B = (2xA) - 1. Tolerance is ½".
6. Check the vertical position of handles. The handle should be centered on the border within 1/8"
(D dimension).
7. Check the border length (L dimension). Stretch the border on the stretch table and check for
correct length.
8. Check the alignment of the unfinished edge with the stitch line (E dimension) on both ends of
each handle. Should be even to 1/16" inside stitch line.
9. Check for exposed tails (F dimension). Should be no more than 1/16".
10. Check end stitch margin (G dimension). Should be 1/8" to 3/16" both ends.
