4.8
The machine transports the sewing material using a rigid upper transport. The
feed (stitch length) can be set from 5-8 mm (corresponds to 2-5 mm with the Cl.
VEB100-4) in 4 steps. Serially, a pyramid-toothed (saw-toothed for Cl. VEB100-
4) feed dog is mounted, which can be exchanged for a saw-toothed one
(pyramid-toothed) if necessary. (see point „
Sewing material transport
7 Variable sewing tools“).
4.8.1 Adjusting the stitch length
CAUTION!
Switch off the machine and push down the motor switch
pedal to ensure that the machine is truly switched off.
Press the stitch setting knob ((1) Fig. 9) and turn the handwheel until it simply
snaps into place. The configured stitch length corresponds to the number
engraved in the handwheel as it comes to a standstill in the highest position.
Press down the setting knob and move the handwheel forwards until the
desired stitch length noticeably snaps into place.
4.8.2
The feed dog can be adjusted in its intrusion depth to the needle plate by
loosening the two fastening screws. If the stitch length is adjusted across a
greater range e.g., from 8 to 5 (from 5 to 2 on Cl. VEB100-4), then the feed dog
should be readjusted.
Adjusting the upper feed dog
Adjustments might also be required when changing to sewing materials that are
thicker or otherwise different in quality.
Here, observe the instructions given in the mechanic's manual.
