1. General notes
The service manual on hand describes the adjustment of the automatic
buttonholer 559 in an appropriate sequence.
ATTENTION !
Various setting positions are interdependent.
Therefore it is absolutely necessary to make the individual
adjustments following the described order.
The operations described in this service manual must only be executed
by qualified staff or correspondingly instructed persons respectively!
Caution: Danger of breakage !
Before recommissioning of the automatic buttonholer after
disassembly operations first carry out the necessary adjustments
according to these service instructions.
Before all setting operations of parts involved in the stitch
formation:
–Insert a new needle without any damage.
Caution: Danger of injury !
In case of repair, alteration and maintenance work:
–Switchthemainswitchoff.
Exception:
Adjustments carried out with the help of test or adjusting programs.
Adjusting operations and function tests when the machine is
running
–Carry out adjusting operations and function tests of the running
machine only under observation of all safety measures and with
utmost caution.
Adjusting operation in the needle zone
–In order to avoid injuries remove the corresponding parts before
carrying out adjusting operations.
Exception:
The parts are absolutely necessary for the adjusting operations.
1.1 Necessary program setting
For adjusting the automatic buttonholer the following buttonhole shape
has to be set at the control panel:
–Buttonhole without bartack
–Connecting stitch = 0
–No cutting space
–Set the connecting stitch to “wide” (see chapter 9 “Setting the seam
width”)
Note!
The set seam width has to be checked not only mechanically but
also at the control panel!

2. Adjusting the locking positions
2.1 General notes
With the help of the locking positions an easy adjustment of the needle
motion to the hook and spreader motions is possible.
When the arm shaft is in staking-out position, the rotary thread take-up
disc and the eccentrics for the spreaders, the hooks and the
connecting stitch have to be in staking-out position, too.
The positions have been set by the manufacturer in such a way that
standard material can be sewn with the 559.
If you want to use other needle sizes, thread sizes or materials, you
may have to set positions slightly differing from the staking-out
position.
The locking pegs are included in the accessories of the machine and
have a diameter of 5 mm.
