3Installation and putting into service
3.1 Unpacking
Strobel machines are supplied either as complete units with head, stand and motor, or
head with motor only, or the head only.
Due to the high weight and to avoid damages during transport, complete units are
packed in several smaller cartons.
Machine head is removed from the stand. Reel stand, rods and other accessories are
packed into the stand packing.
Make sure that all accessories have been unpacked before throwing away any packing
material.
3.2 Installation (Fig. 1 and Fig. 7)
C A U T I O N ! Danger of Injury!
Danger of bodily injuries or finger bruises through pulling in of
garments or hairs!
The machine may not be operated without belt guards for head
and motor.
The tape feeding device is mounted to the machine head according to Fig. 7 (screw
(2)). The pneumatic devices are connected according to the given numbers. The 3-pole
diode plug is connected to the 3-pole diode socket at the machine.
Make sure that all screws on the stand are tight and retighten them, if necessary.
A T T E N T I O N !
Before putting the machine into service make sure that the
electric connecting data on the sewing drive’s name plate,
mainly voltage and frequency, correspond to your electric
network.
A T T E N T I O N !
The maintenance instructions according to the operating
instructions must be followed!

Fig. 1

10 BA_VEB100-6_A4_230102_en.doc
3.3 Sense of rotation
The correct sense of rotation of the handwheel is clockwise (clockwise rotation).
3.4 Motor drive via Toothed belts
3.4.1 Toothed belt tension (Fig. 2)
C A U T I O N ! Danger of Injury!
When checking the belt tension, switch off the machine at the
mains. Do not operate the machine without the belt guard.
Otherwise there is a D A N G E R of crushing fingers, of
injuries to the body and of pulling in parts of clothing.
The machine may not be operated without belt guards for
motor.
The toothed belt should not be too tight. It should give about 5 mm when slightly
pressing with the thumb.
Too little or too tight toothed belt tensioning can impair the positioning of the
machine and therefore impair the function sequence.
Tensioning the toothed belt (Fig. 2):
Release the upper and the bottom retaining screw (1), (2) at the upper part of the
machine.
Pull out the motor slightly and tighten the bottom retaining screw (2) slightly.
Tension the toothed belt by swivelling the motor.
Tighten the upper and the bottom retaining screw (1), (2) again.
Fig. 2

11 BA_VEB100-6_A4_230102_en.doc
3.4.2 Positions (Fig. 3, Fig. 4 und Fig. 5)
C A U T I O N ! Danger of Injury!
Danger of pulling in parts of clothing and of hair and danger of
crushing fingers and stitching fingers with needles!
When checking positions with switched-on machine keep fingers
and hands away from moving parts.
The machine requires a needle position and depending on the sewing drive, possibly
also a reference position.
Reference position (Fig. 3):
The reference position must be set in such a way, that the point of the needle in
direction of the insertion stitch closes with the right (inner) edge of the needle
slide plate.
Fig. 3

12 BA_VEB100-6_A4_230102_en.doc
Needle position (with stop in and outside the seam (Fig. 4)):
The needle position must be set in such a way, that when the machine is
stopped, the hook of the thread knife catches the thread loop lying over the
looper securely without touching the looper.
Please check by manual activation of the thread trimmer afterwards.
Fig. 4
Notes for sewing drives which have two needle positions (Fig. 5):
The above mentioned needle position is position 2 at the sewing drive.
Position 1 must be set at the sewing drive in such a way, that the point of the needle
(1) in the direction of stitch exit closes with the right (inner) edge of the needle slide
plate. At the same time, the thread loop lies tensioned over the looper.
Fig. 5

13 BA_VEB100-6_A4_230102_en.doc
4Machine operation
4.1 Needles, threads and tapes
The sewing quality can be influenced to a considerable extent by choosing the most
suitable needles and threads for the material to be sewn.
It is recommended to use controlled GROZ-BECKERT needles system 1669 EEO only.
The machine is supplied with size 90/14 needles.
NOTICE: A perfect needle is of great importance for a good sewing result.
Damages of the needle point which often can be made visible under a
magnifier only may deteriorate the sewing result. Replace the needle in
time!
We recommend twisted polyester filament threads of size 120/2 respectively. Because
of their high strength and ability to slide, combined with a low volume they are to be
preferred over a spun thread.
For safety and function reasons, only common commercial coated attaching tapes
between 15 and 25 mm width should be used according to the width of the tape
device.
G u a r a n t e e d r e m a r k !
This machine has been set and sewn off with genuine GROZ-
BECKERT needles.
No guarantee can be granted if the settings are modified for
using different needle types.
4.2 Inserting the needle (Fig. 6)
C A U T I O N ! Danger of Injury!
Before replacing the needle, switch off the machine electrically,
and depress the motor switch pedal to make sure that the
machine is truly switched off.
Otherwise there is a danger of injury from crushing and needle
punctures.
The curved needle shape determines its position in the needle lever (1). Attention
should be paid only to ensure that the needle piston is pushed to the stop in the
channel of the needle lever and that the screw (3) Fig. 6 of the needle clamping plate
(2) is tightened well.

14 BA_VEB100-6_A4_230102_en.doc
Fig. 6
4.3 Threading and thread course (Fig. 7)
C A U T I O N ! Danger of Injury!
Switch off machine electrically and confirm that the machine is
really in standstill position by operating the treadle for the motor
control before threading.
Otherwise there is a danger of injury from crushing and needle
punctures.
Fig. 7 shows the correct thread course.
Fig. 7

15 BA_VEB100-6_A4_230102_en.doc
4.4 Thread tension (Fig. 7)
Depending on thread and fabric quality, nature and thickness the thread tension is set
by tension nut (1) (Fig. 7)
4.5 Tape course, inserting the tape and tape exchange
4.5.1 Tape course (Fig. 8 and Fig. 9)
C A U T I O N ! Danger of Injury!
Keep fingers and hands away from movable parts when inserting
the tape with the machine switched on.
Otherwise there is a danger of injury from crushing and needle
punctures.
At factory the machine is set to a standard tape with of 15 mm. Modification to
another tape (optional) width is possible.
After sewing on the ribbon with blind stitch, the blind stitch gives the looseness of the
ribbon on the jacket front and after ironing, the coated upper side of the ribbon is
fixed to the facing.
Fig. 8 shows the correct tape course.
After loosening clamping lever (2) Fig. 9 and removing tape roll plate (3) the tape roll
can be pushed onto the roll (4). Then re-mount the tape roll plate (3).
PLEASE OBSERVE: The tape roll (4) should rotate easily, therefore please leave a
corresponding distance between tape roll and tape roll plate
(approx. 1 to 2 mm).
