Damaged needle bed
If the carriage is blocked, the needle bed may be damaged. This means that
the movable parts (needles, coupling part, intermediate slider and selection
jack) do not move smoothly or are blocked. This damage must be eliminated
carefully and conscientiously before the machine is started up again. If it is not,
a risk of the carriage blocking again immediately and damaging the needle bed
again is present.
When performing repairs, the needle
bed typ
es must be determined. There
are two different versions: milled and combined needle beds. The additional
beds are always milled.
