8 MA_560-11_A6_230321_en.doc
2.5 Mains connection of the machine
2.5.1 Mains structure
C A U T I O N !
The sewing drive may only be connected to an earthed
alternating voltage mains, i.e. with an earth conductor system!
The sewing drive or sewing machine may only be operated with an earth conductor at
a functioning earth conductor system that complies with all local provisions and
regulations.
The protective effect of the earth conductor must not be voided when connecting, for
instance, with extension cords without earth conductors.
Any interruption to the earth conductor inside or outside the sewing drive is
prohibited.
2.5.2 Mains voltage and frequency
C A U T I O N !
The range of the rated voltage and frequency for the sewing
drive is 190–240V 50/60 Hz.
The mains voltage and frequency have to lie within this range!

9 MA_560-11_A6_230321_en.doc
2.5.3 Mains connection
C A U T I O N !
The sewing machine must be connected to the mains power
supply with a plug connection (power plug)!
A permanent connection is not permitted.
C A U T I O N !
The safety instructions in Chapter 1 must be observed when
connecting and laying the connection cables.
When laying the cables, ensure in particular that distance
is kept to movable parts (e.g. V-belts) and their mountings.
The sewing machine must be connected to the mains power supply with a plug
connection (power plug).
A permanent connection is not permitted.
The mains cable may be fused with max. 16 A.
See also the circuit diagram “5.1 Mains connection plan - with/without sewing light”
and “5.2 Mains facility connection plan - with/without sewing light”.
Instructions on laying the cables:
Protect the mains cable being laid against any expected stresses and secure
adequately (incl. possible strain relief).
Lay and secure the mains cable so that it has a minimum distance of 25 mm to the
movable parts.
To ensure safe separation, it is preferable to lay the mains cables spatially apart from
other cables/low voltage lines. A rectangular crossing is better than one at a small
angle; avoid a parallel guide.

3Instructions for repair and settings
C A U T I O N ! Danger of injury!
Observe safety and operating instructions before realizing any
maintenance and repair works.
Failure to do so may result in heavy bodily injuries.
3.1 Mounting the stitch plate
A T T E N T I O N !
Switch off machine electrically!
3.1.1 Removing the stitch plate (Fig. 1)
- Switch off machine electrically, plunger is lifted
- Remove the needle
- Remove set collar (1)
- Loosen screws (2)
- Remove stitch plate carefully
3.1.2 Remounting the stitch plate
Remount stitch plate in reserved sequence, but make sure that after mounting the set
collar the movable knife moves over the counterknife easily and does not jam.
The screws (2) are special screws with a precisely fitting collar so that the stitch plate
is centred immediately during assembly. The next chapter describes how to readjust
the screws.

14 MA_560-11_A6_230321_en.doc
Fig. 1
3.1.3 Setting the stitch plate (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2)
The theoretic needle radius of 43.6 mm should be by 0.01 - 0.04 mm smaller at the
needle glide plate; i.e. a checked needle is lifted by
0.01 - 0.04 mm. Control by means of a dial gauge.
If this setting is correct, there should be a distance of 0.03 - 0.06 mm between needle
and stitch plate radius.
By loosening the set screws (3) on the left and right side of the head and slightly
loosening the fixing screws (2), the stitch plate can be carefully pushed towards or
away from the needle.
ATTENTION! It should be noted that after my adjustment the stitch plate must be
absolutely horizontal before tightening the screws (2) and the set
screws (3) again.

15 MA_560-11_A6_230321_en.doc
Fig. 2
3.1.4 Setting the needle (Fig. 1)
In lateral direction a needle No. 90/14 is set in a way that at the left hand needle
penetration there is a distance of 0.15 - 0.2 mm between the left hand needle side
and the stitch plate groove. For resetting, loosen screw (4) and displace part (5).
3.1.5 Changing the needle glide plate (Fig. 1)
The needle glide plate is mounted to the lower side of the stitch plate. Loosen screws
(6) to remove the needle glide plate.
3.1.6 Thread holder
The thread holder is mounted between stitch plate an knife and prevents the spot
tack to come off. It holds the trimmed while the other thread end is pulled out of the
material by means of the thread wiper.
3.1.7 Setting the thread holder (Fig. 1)
The air gap between spring and thread holder should be 0.03 mm for the
recommended thread (continuous polyester 120/2), so that the thread is hold but not
jammed.
Remove the Thread holder, take out the spring from the front groove and bend it
slightly to the front to enlarge the air gap or bend it backwards to reduce the air gap.

16 MA_560-11_A6_230321_en.doc
3.2 Setting the needle lever
A T T E N T I O N !
Switch off machine electrically!
3.2.1 Lateral setting of needle lever (Fig. 3 and Fig. 4)
Control cam (1) is set in a way that the needle lever being in its lowest position (lower
dead point) the radius corresponding to the needle penetration (right hand needle
penetration small radius, left hand needle penetration large radius), stands exactly
under roll (2). Only at the largest stitch width the roll touches the cam at the right
hand needle penetration.
ATTENTION: cam (1) is bored to gearwheel (3) (Fig. 5).
