Foreword
This instruction manual is intended to help the user to become familiar with the machine and take advantage of its application
possibilities in accordance with the recommendations.
The instruction manual contains important information on how to operate the machine securely, properly and economically.
Observation of the instructions eliminates danger, reduces costs for repair and down-times, and increases the reliability and life
of the machine.
The instruction manual is intended to complement existing national accident prevention and environment protection regulations.
The instruction manual must always be available at the machine/sewing unit.
The instruction manual must be read and applied by any person that is authorized to work on the machine/sewing unit. This
means:
- Operation, including equipping, troubleshooting during the work cycle, removing of fabric waste
- Service (maintenance, inspection, repair and/or)
- Transport.
The user also has to assure that only authorized personnel work on the machine.
The user is obliged to check the machine at least once per shift for apparent damages and to immediatly report any changes
(including the performance in service), which impair the safety.
The user company must ensure that the machine is only operated in perfect working order.
Never remove or disable any safety devices.
If safety devices need to be removed for equipping, repairing or maintaining, the safety devices must be remounted directly after
completion of the maintenance and repair work.
Unauthorized modification of the machine rules out liability of the manufacturer for damage resulting from this.
Observe all safety and danger recommendations on the machine/unit! The yellow-and-black striped surfaces designate permanend
danger areas, eg danger of squashing, cutting, shearing or collision.
Besides the recommendations in this instruction manual also observe the general safety and accident prevention regulations!

General safety instructions
The non-observance of the following safety instructions can cause bodily injuries or damages to the machine.
1. The machine must only be commissioned of the instruction book and operated by persons with appropriate training.
2. Before putting into service also read the safety rules and instructions of the motor supplier.
3. The machine must be used only for the purpose intended. Use of the machine without the safety devices is not permitted. Observe
all the relevant safety regulations.
4. When gauge parts are exchanged (e.g. needle, presser foot, needle plate, feed dog and bobbin) when tread-ing, when the workplace
is left, and during service work, the machine must be disconnected from the mains by switching off the master switch or disconnecting
the mains plug.
5. Daily servicing work must be carried out only by appropriately trained persons.
6. Repairs, conversion and special maintenance work must only be carried out by technicians or persons with appropriate training.
7. For service or repair work on pneumatic systems the machine must be disconnected from the compressed air supply system.
Exceptions to this are only adjustments and functions checks made by appropriately trained technicians.
8. Work on the electrical equipment must be carried out only by electricians or appropriately trained persons.
9. Work on parts and systems under electric current is not permitted, except as specified in regulations DIN VDE 0105.
10. Conversion or changes to the machine must be authorized by us and made only in adherence to all safety regulations.
11. For repairs, only replacement parts approved by us must be used.
12. Commissioning of the sewing head is prohibited until such time as the entire sewing unit is found to comply with EC directives.
It is absolutely necessary to respect the safety instructions marked by these signs.
Danger of bodily injuries !
Please note also the general safety instructions.
IMPORTANT WARNING!
To the feeding network cord, it is necessary to connect the respective network plug which has been approved in the country
of utilizing the machine. This operation should be performed by a worker acquainted with the electric safety rules being in
force in the given country. The supplier is not responsible for any damages caused by defective plug or owing to incorrect
assembly of the plug.
In spite of all safety measures made on the machines, inappropriate actions of the operator may lead to dangerous situations. In
industrial sewing machines, attention should be paid to the following still remaining possible sources of injury:
1. Moving sewing needle
- risk of injury when sewing with raised pressure foot or top roller, because the finger guard is then positioned too high.
2. Moving thread take-up lever
- risk of injury when inadvertently or intentionally inserting the finger(s) between the thread take-up lever and its guard.
3. Moving pressure member
- risk of injury when holding sewn work in immediate vicinity of the pressure member and beginning to insert under the pressure
member a considerably thicker sewn work portion,
- risk of injury when sinking the pressure member.
4. Moving trimming knife
- risk of injury when sewing and trimming with lifted presser element (roller, foot), because the finger guard is high
- risk of injury when inadvertently threading down of the motor threadle.
5. When switched off, the clutch motor slows down by inertia but would be reactivated by an accidental tread-ing down of the
motor treadle. To avoid such risk, it is advised to hold the handwheel by hand and slightly to depress the motor treadle.
