Notes on usage
The sewing quality can be improved by using the most appropriate needles and
threads for the goods to be produced.
Needles and threads
Only use approved GROZ-BECKERT needle system 1669 EEO.
The machine is delivered with needles of size 70 (VEB100-4),
80 (VEB100-1, -2, -5) and 90 (VEB100-2W).
Note: An intact needle is very important for ensuring good quality stitches.
Bent needle tips, that may only be visible under a magnifying glass,
will lead to poorer sewing results. Replace your needles in time!
We recommend using twined polyester tread of thickness 120/2
(VEB100-1, -2, -2W, -5) and 200 (VEB100-4). Due to their high strength and
good sliding behaviour at a small thread size, they are preferable to spun thread.
Guarantee note!
This machine has been configured and broken in using
original GROZ-BECKERT needles.
No guarantees can be given when the machine is
readjusted for the use of different needles.
4.2 Inserting the needles
CAUTION! Danger of injury!
Before replacing needles, switch off the machine and
push down the motor switch pedal to ensure that the
machine is truly switched off.
Otherwise there is a danger of finger injuries and needle
punctures.
The bent shape of the needles determines the position of the needle lever. Only
ensure that the needle shank can be pushed into the groove of the needle lever
until it stops and the needle clamping plate is tightly fastened using the screw
((for pos 4) Fig. 7).
