6.11.2 Rapid electro-pneumatic stroke adjustment (HP)
The
class 768
pillar sewing machine is fitted with rapid electro-pneumatic stroke
adjustment (HP) as standard.
Maximum sewing-foot stroke can be activated while sewing for additional thicknesses in
the material or to oversew cross-seams as follows:
–
Press keypad key 1 on the sewing-machine arm.
OR:
–
Operate knee-switch 2 beneath the table plate.
Rapid stroke adjustment: operating mode
How long maximum sewing-foot stroke remains active depends on which operating
mode has been set. Three operating modes are available.
They are set with parameters F-138 and F-184 on the operating panel
(see motor-manufacturer’s guide (supplied)).
