15.1 Setting the height of the thread-pulling knife

The height of the thread-pulling knife is factory-set such that the distance (5)
between the upper edge of the knife carrier (4) and the hook bearing screw-
on surface (3) is 10.7+0.05 mm. Fine adjustment is made by means of wash-
ers between the knife carrier (4) and the thread-pulling knife (2).
Important
When changing the knives, make sure that you do not lose the washers.
Proper setting
The thread-pulling knife (2) pivots as close as possible above the hook
and is at the same height as the counter blade (1).

Thread cutter
To set the height of the thread-pulling knife:

2. Remove the thread-pulling knife (2).
3. Place as many washers between thread-pulling knife (2) and knife
carrier (4) as necessary to ensure that the upper edges of counter
blade (1) and thread-pulling knife (2) are at the same height.
4. Non-required washers on the top side between the thread-pulling
knife (2) and screw (6) should be kept.
5. Tighten the thread-pulling knife (2) using the screw (6).
15.2 Setting the cutoff curve

Proper setting
The control cam (4) makes direct contact with the clamping ring (1).
The distance between the widest extent (6) of the control cam (4) and the
roller (3) is 0.1 mm at most.
In resting position, the circle mark on the cutting edge of the thread-pulling
knife is exactly next to the tip of the counter blade.

Important
Tighten the 4 threaded pins (2) on the clamping ring (1) before you loosen
the threaded pins (5). The clamping ring (1) and control cam (4) are both
mutually used as a stop and should not be loosened at the same time.
5. Press the actuating lever (7) against the solenoid (9).
6. Turn the control cam (4) such that its widest extent (6) is at the top,
next to the roller (3).

15.3 Setting the cutting pressure

The shape of the thread-pulling knife automatically creates the required
cutting pressure as soon as the thread-pulling knife and counter blade
make contact.
Proper setting
In resting position, the hook thread clamp makes contact with the thread-
pulling knife without any pressure being applied. Any 2 threads with the
greatest strength used for sewing can be neatly cut simultaneously.
Disturbance
• Increased knife wear when the pressure is too great
• Problems when sewing on if the hook thread clamp is too high
• Problems in cutting the thread

Thread cutter
Important
Check the position of the cutters, since the counter blade can easily be-
come warped when the screw is being tightened.
15.4 Setting point in time for cutting

Proper setting
The threads are cut when the thread lever is at the top dead center (hand-
wheel position 60°).
Information
Additional setting for 2-needle machines
The control cam for the right-hand needle or the right-hand hook support
is identified by an R and an arrow for the direction of rotation.

CAUTION
Switch off the machine before adjusting the thread
cutter settings.
NOTICE
Risk of breakage.
The reverse-motion lock for the bobbin case is on the thread-pulling
knife.
Never operate the machine without the thread-pulling knife.
Important
Correct setup of the short thread cutter requires that the necessary work
steps be performed in the order given in this chapter.
Requirements
• The needle bar must be at the top dead center when the handwheel
position is 0° ( p. 54)
• The hook bearing must be set correctly ( p. 50).

Important
The height of the thread-pulling knife is determined by the height of the
counter blade. The upper edges of the two knives must be on the same
level.

(4) - Clamping ring (5) - Control cam
The thread-pulling knife (1) cannot be moved on the knife carrier (3).
Therefore, you will not have to set the cutting pressure after replacing the
thread-cutting knife (1).
The knife carrier (3) can be installed in 2 different positions: Large hook
and XXL hook. To do this, the knife carrier (3) is rotated by 180°.
In rest position, the thread-pulling knife (1) completely covers the cutting
edge of the counter blade (2). This prevents the needle thread from being
damaged.
The pivot range of the thread-pulling knife is 23°.
The control cam (5) is designed for operating with the large hook and the
XXL hook.
The control cam (5) can be on the right-hand side (label is right side up)
or on the left side (label is upside down) of the clamping ring (4).
Proper setting
The control cam (5) makes contact with the clamping ring (4).
The label of the control cam (5) is correct in accordance with the installa-
tion situation.

Proper setting
After sewing a stretch of approx. 1 m, the blotting paper (2) will have been
sprayed with a thin and even film of oil.
To set the hook lubrication:

1. Open the throat plate slide ( p. 21)
2. Turn the screw (3):
• Release more oil: turn counterclockwise
• Release less oil: turn clockwise
Important
The released amount of oil does not change until the operating time has
run a few minutes. Sew for several minutes before you check the setting
again.
