Superspeed

Sewing Machine,

fitted

with link

take-up

and

horizontal

rotary

hook, in its mechanical set-up

may

be regarded as an improved model of the

PFAFF

134.

The high sewing speed

of this machine, ranging

from

4,000 to 5,000 stitches

per

minute

depending

on the

grade

of material sewn, has mode it

mandatory

that

it be provided

with

forced

feed

lubrication

system.

Since the manipulations required for this machine, such as for threading

the needle, regulating the length of stitch,

and

tying

off

seams,

have

not

been

changed,

operators

need not bs retrained

and

expenses

for such re

training

are

eliminated.

With its

modern,

functional design,

sturdy

construction,

and

its

sewing

properties

of highest

perfection,

this machine

satisfies

any

demand

in all

branches

the

sewing

industry.

The

regard

to the maximum

length of stitch, the

needle

bar

clearance,

and

the

and

thereby

are

to the class of work

for.

most

fitted

for individual

power

drive to

set

up on on individual

table.

The machine is driven by a '/» HP motor, friction clutch type. (Type of

current

and

tension

optional

to suit local requirements).

Power is transmitted from the motor to the sewing machine by

means

of a V-belt,

2V0.1"

wide

(DIN 2215).

For 50 cycle current, a

motor

performing 2,800 R.P.M. should be used,

whereas

for 60 cycle current, a

motcr

performing 3,400 R.P.M. would be

appropriate.

Filling In

ihe

Oil

The

of oil

required

for the first

two

fillings

comes

with the

machine in a can. It is a spindle oil, viscosity 3.2° Engler

20° C, which

has

proved

very

satisfactory

for the lubrication of the

PFAFF

436. To fill

in the oil,

proceed

follows: Remove

screw

d (Photo 1), fill in

about

1pint

(0.5

oil,

and

wait

few

minutes

until it

has

accumulated

the

oil

reservoir.

Now

check

the

oil level

oil

reservoir

(Photo 2) if

the

amount

oil filled in is sufficient. The oil level

should

between

the

two

marks

indicating the maximum

and

minimum levels of 0.6

and

0.3 I

respectively

with

the

machine

being

idle.

Under

circumstances

should the

top

cover

removed

and

oil be filled in there. Experience fias

shown

that

it is

advantage

lubricate

the

hook

separately.

Oil

reservoir

serving

this

purpose

is on

top

arm

(Photo

the

hook oil,

remove

and

fill in

approximately

4.5—4.9 cu. in. (75—80

cm^) of oil. ,As long

the

red

point

of the

float

.spindle is visible in

the

oil level

tube

while

the

machine is in

operation,

there

is sufficient oil in the

reservoir.

If,

however,

the

is flush

with

Testing

the

Machine

It Is

recommended

test-run

the

machine

with

thread

and

bobbin

case

removed.

First of all,

however,

make

sure

that

the

line

voltage

corresponds

with the

voltage

given on the

rating

plate

the

motor,

and

that

the

chine pulley

rotates

in the

proper

direction, i. e.

toward

the

operator.

Never

must the

motor

rotate

reverse

direction. Therefore,

before

running the

machine, cut in the

motor,

hold the

balance

wheel with your right

hand,

tip

on the

treadle,

and

make

sure by the jerk of the

balance

wheel

that

rotates

in the

proper

direction. If not, simply

exchange

the

two

motor

ter

minals.

Now

press

down

the

treadle

and,

while running the machine, check

ot the oil

gauge

dome on the top of the machine arm if the pump

works

correctly (indicator

cap

top

position).

For regulating the hook lubrication

system,

see

Section 23.

Note:

Never run the machine unless a piece of fabric is inserted under

the

presser

foot

the

latter

raised.

Threading the

PFAFF

436

presents no difficulty since the thread, as with

PFAFF

133/134

machines, passes in plain view of the operator (Photo 6) so

that every user should be familiar with it. Pass the thread from the thread

unwinder to thread guide pin 1 and, to prevent vibration of the thread

Basic Rule:

Stop

the machine or

commence

sewing

only with the

take-up

in its

position.

This

precaution
