15 Adjustment
Observe and comply with all instructions in the operating manual’s chapter 1
Safety! In particular make sure that all safety covers are installed again correct-
ly after making adjustments, see chapter 1.06 Operating manual hazard infor-
mation!
Unless otherwise stated, the machine must be disconnected from the power
supply before all adjustment work!
Risk of injury due to accidental machine start-up!
No screw clamp may be fastened to the needle bar with the
PFAFF 2481-980/30!
This may damage the special needle bar coating.
15.01 Notes on adjustment
All adjustments in this manual are based on a fully assembled machine and may only be car-
ried out by technical staff trained for this purpose. Machine covers, which have to be re-
moved and replaced to carry out checks and adjustments, are not mentioned in the text.
The order of the following chapters corresponds to the most logical work sequence for ma-
chines that have to be completely adjusted. Both the preceding and following chapters must
be observed if only specific individual work steps are carried out. Screws and nuts indicated
in brackets ( ) are fastenings for machine parts, which must be loosened before any adjust-
ment and tightened again afterwards.
