These maintenance intervals are calculated for the average running time of a
single shift operation. If the machine is operated for longer periods, shorter
maintenance intervals are recommended.
12.02 Cleaning the machine
The cleaning cycle required for the machine depends on following factors:
Single or several shift operation ●
Amount of dust resulting from the workpiece ●
It is therefore only possible to stipulate the best possible cleaning instructions for each indi-
vidual case.
For all cleaning work the machine must be disconnected from the mains by
switching off the on/off switch or by removing the mains plug, and the knife
must be mechanically locked to prevent knife engagement!
Danger of injury if the machine suddenly starts up or if the knife suddenly drops
down.
To avoid breakdowns, the following cleaning work is recommended for single shift operation:
Clean hook compartment and needle area of sewing head several times daily. ●
Clean the entire machine at least once a week. ●
Clean the hook compartment ........................................................................................daily
Clean the entire machine ..................................................................................once a week
Clean air fi lter of air fi lter / lubricator .................................................................. as required
Check the air pressure ................................................................................daily, before use
Check the oil level .......................................................................................daily, before use
