Proper use

2 Proper use
2.01 General
The PFAFF 8310 is available in four versions. The special applications of the individual versi-
ons are described below, see Chapter 2.02 Machine versions. All the machine versions are
used for continuous sealing of thin, thermoplastic materials, such as e.g. fleeces, felts,
woven and knitted fabrics using ultrasonics.
Any use of these machines which is not approved by the manufacturer shall be
considered as improper use! The manufacturer shall not be liable for any dama-
ge arising out of improper use! Proper use shall also be considered to include
compliance with the operation, adjustment, service and repair measures speci-
fied by the manufacturer!
Fig. 2 - 01
2.02 Machine versions
2.02.01 Post version (PFAFF 8310-041/001)
The post version is particularly suitable for
heat-sealing three-dimensional shapes, such
as e.g. hoods, caps, pouches etc. With the
aid of the post, two parts can be joined to-
gether flat or one part sealed to form a shor-
ter tube. To do so the part is wrapped around
the post and then sealed from out of the
post (e.g. the lengthwise seam of a sleeve
or a filter tube).
On the post-bed version the top roller is the
sonotrode.

Proper use
11
Fig. 2 - 02
2.02.02 Off arm version (PFAFF 8310-041/002)
The off arm version is ideal for heat-sealing
the lengthwise seam of a sleeve or tube
(up to a length of ca. 30 cm). A variation is
also available as a special version, which is
suitable for sealing the lengthwise seam of
a longer or endlessly long tube.
On the feed-off-the-arm version the top
roller is the sonotrode.
Fig. 2 - 03
2.02.03 Flat-bed version (PFAFF 8310-042 und PFAFF 8310-043)
The flat-bed version is used in particular for
sealing two flat parts. Possible seam ty-
pes are lapped seams, peeling seams, top-
stitched and binding seams. The application
possibilities correspond to those of a typical
high-speed sewing machine.
On the flat-bed version the bottom roller is
the sonotrode.
The only difference between
the PFAFF 8310-043 and the
PFAFF 8310-042 is that the for-
mer has a smaller roller enab-
ling a smaller curve radius.

8 Installation and commissioning
After the machine has been unpacked, check it for any damages caused during transportati-
on. If there are any damages, please notify the transport company and your
local PFAFF agency.
The machine must only be installed and commissioned by qualified personnel.
All relevant safety regulations must be strictly adhered to!
8.01 Installation
Suitable connections for electricity and compressed air must be available at the machine’s lo-
cation (see Chapter 3 Specifications). An even and firm foundation as well as sufficient
lighting must also be available at the machine’s location.
8.01.01 Setting up the PFAFF 8310-041/001 and the PFAFF 8310-041/002
Slide the machine off the pallet.
Turn the six legs 1 to level the machine horizontally.
Connect the plugs from pedal 2 and from any existing foot switches to the control box.

8.01.02 Setting up the PFAFF 8310-042 and the PFAFF 8310-043
If the machine is delivered without a table, be sure that the frame and the table
top which you intend to use can hold the weight of the machine and the motor.
It must be ensured that the supporting structure is sufficiently sturdy, even du-
ring sewing operations.
The method of packaging used requires that the table top be lowered for trans-
port. The following is a description of how to adjust the height of the table top.
Fig. 8 - 02
Loosen screws 1 and 2 and set the desired table-top height
Tighten screws 1 well.
Adjust the position of the pedal so that you can operate it comfortably and tighten
screw 2.
