1-/ 2-NEEDLE LOCKSTITCH SEWING MACHINE WITH DIRECT DRIVE
AND TRIPLE FEED
The consistent use of state-of-the-art control technology has made it possible to program all ma-
chine parameters programmatically, making them directly accessible. This ensures that the process
parameters are free from operator influence and after each setup.
The innovative dynamic machine parameters based on the current speed and the permanent materi-
al thickness measurement open up new paths in terms of processing quality, process reliability and
reducing cycle times.
Typical applications:
Automotive Upholstery Suitcase Bag
INTENDED USE
Any use not approved by the manufacturer is considered improper!
Proper use also includes compliance with the prescribed operating, adjustment,
maintenance and repair measures. Damage due to non-intended use is not covered by

SAFETY CYLINDER 1:
»The safety cylinder 1 should be approx. 304mm to 310mm long.
NOTE:
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 3 must be locked securely. The distance bet-
ween the table top and the spring must be at least 5mm (Picture 2).
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 4 must be readjusted. (Picture 3)
HOW TO MOUNT THE SAFETY CYLINDER 1 :
» Screw the cylinder carrier 4 under the table.
The distance between the edge of the machine cutout and the cylinder carrier 4 is 205mm
(minimum 203mm).
»The distance between the cylinder carrier 4 and the edge of the machine cutout is 280mm.
NOTE:
The position of the safety cylinder is important for the stability of the machine. This must be
checked when the machine is received.
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
