01.07. MOUNTING SAFETY DEVICES FOR TILTING
SAFETY CYLINDER 1 AND SPRING 5 :
»The safety cylinder 1 should be approx. 304mm to 310mm long.
INFO:
If the cylinder is longer (max 310mm), the machine is moved further back.
That means the machine is safer and more stable in this position.
»If the machine is tilted back, the safety spring 5 must be locked securely. The distance between the table top and
the spring must be at least 5mm (Picture 3).
»The distance can be adjusted on the cylinder by turning the fork head 2 in or out. If this is not enough, the cylinder
carrier 3 must be readjusted. (Picture 2)
HOW TO MOUNT THE SAFETY CYLINDER 1 :
»Screw the cylinder carrier 3 under the table.
The distance between the edge of the machine cutout and the cylinder carrier 3 is 205mm (minimum 203mm).
The distance between the cylinder carrier 3 and the edge of the machine cutout is 280mm.
HOW TO MOUNT THE SAFETY SPRING 5 :
»Mount the safety spring 5 on the machine housing with the screws 4
NOTE:
»The position of the safety cylinder and spring is important for the stability of the machine.
»The safety hinge 6 prevents the sewing machine from being levered out when the sewing machine is returned to
its starting position and the safety bar has not been pressed.
»This must be checked when the machine is received!
»Safety devices must not be removed or modified!
CRUSHING
Crushing and bruising due to tilting the machine
For dierent adjustments, the safety cylinder should be unhooked.
Caution is advised, when returning the sewing machine to its original position.
After work, reattach the safety cylinder.
