1 . G E N E R A L I N F O R M AT I O N

S-105 sewing machine is intended for sewing buttonholes on outwear. It has been designed and manufactured to be reliable and easy to operate. Special attention is paid to ensure ease and effective safety for machine operators and servicemen.

Safety mechanisms protect both, operators and the machine, and respect valid safety and hygiene provisions for usual technological usage of the machine. Those safety mechanisms contain electrical plug, operation switch (circuit breaker) and covers ensuring safety operation on the machines; only if they are fitted onto the machine correctly.

There are information labels on the machine to point out additional danger. Do not remove or damage those labels. In case of damage, order a new one. Mentioned warnings cannot cover all safety aspects and therefore it is very important for an operator to read this manual carefully and understand it well before he starts operating the machine. It will also eliminate errors during machine installation and its operation. Do not put the machine into operation unless you have read entire manuals supplied with the machine and have understood each function and procedure.

There are four categories of safety instructions in this manual:

DANGER!

Ignoring instructions may endanger operator’s life.

CAUTION!

Ignoring instructions may cause a serious injury of the operator or damage the machine.

WARNING!

Ignoring instructions may cause damage on the machine or injury of the operator.

NOTICE!

Breaking procedures may cause functional problems of the machine.

We recommend that servicemen from AMF Reece supervise the installation of the machines and initial training of your mechanics and operators.

The most effective method ensuring safety of operators working on the machine is a strict safety program including instructions for safety operation. Operators and servicemen should wear safety glasses.

- material sewn (thickness, density, fiber direction)

- upper and lower thread tension

- stitch density

- stitch width

- technology of sewing process (size of material spreading, distance of stitches from the cut edge)

Correct buttonhole should have:

- uniform stitch density

- consistent chain formation

- symmetric eye shape

- proportional shape and size

- smoothly trimmed threads

S-105 machine manufactured by AMF Reece sews with a two-thread chain buttonhole stitch with the lower thread – as it is usual when sewing lockstitches.

Ê

Ë Ì

On a regular basis, gimp is inserted into the face side of the work piece (on the seam side – bottom side of the work piece when sewing onto the machine).

Gimp - creates plastic look of a buttonhole and together with a bottom thread decorative stitch provides the shape and firmness of a buttonhole.

Decorative stitch – creates plastic shape nearer the cut. The upper thread makes a covering stitching on the upper side of the fabric.

5 . M A C H I N E D E S C R I P T I O N A N D I T S F U N C T I O N S

The supplied machine is a box-type piece of equipment with an optimally raised working area above the table desk. The arm with the sewing mechanism is placed in the folding frame to adjust and pull in threads.

The machine is installed onto the stand so that it suits an seated operator.

Machines are adjusted “cut after sewing” (CA) at the manufacturer, unless specified otherwise. The base position of a working plate of such adjusted a machine is in its rear dead point. After the start of the machine, the plate moves towards the operator, during which time the clamps clamp the work piece and the plate moves to the point where the buttonhole sewing is suppose to start. The feet automatically stretch the work piece in order to ensure high quality of sewing. The size of opening is adjustable. The sewing mechanism automatically starts sewing in the place of the buttonhole by releasing the clutch of the drive shaft and the buttonhole is sewn. The starting moment and the buttonhole length can be adjusted by changing the cutting steel, possibly the knife too.

Once the sewing of a buttonhole is finished, the needle is set in the upper position and the plate moves to the position where upper thread is trimmed. After that, the work piece is cut, the clamps open themselves and the work piece is released. The whole cycle, excluding the sewing, can be run by the hand wheel on the left side of the machine under the removable cover.

The machine operation can be stopped immediately with the operational switch (breaker) or table pedal.

WARNING: When adjusting this device, check the needle position against the hole for gimp in the stitching plate. The needle tip must not go through the hole during centre and side prick. This way you can check that the gimp will be sewn between the stitching rows.

• Make sure that the power cord is secured against any mechanical breakage.

CAUTION!

• Maintenance work must be done by a qualified person only.

• When changing defective parts, use parts corresponding with original ones.

• Do not run the machine unless all covers dismantled for maintenance purposes were placed back.

• Wipe away spilt oil. Keep the working area clean.

WARNING!

• Read carefully the entire manual for servicemen.

• Use specified kinds of lubrication or their equivalents only.

We are not responsible for claims that happen due to violating these instructions.

Pistons adjustment:

1. Setting a buttonhole without eye; when you start machine running by the hand shift, the pistons must go into the guiding travel freely in the beginning of the race turn in the eye (loopers in the rear position).

2. At the end of the buttonhole, before the home position, in the beginning of the race turn, the right piston is in the guiding travel. Tighten the screw on the lower lateral lever so that the piston leaves the guiding travel freely without the table moving sideways.

3. After running the machine by the hand shift and the race turning in the eye (loopers in the rear position), adjust the depth of the right piston about half way into the guiding travel (with nuts on the draw bar).

4. Once the left piston snap into the guiding travel (the narrower section of the travel), adjust the depth of the left piston about half way into the guiding travel (with nuts on the draw bar).

5. Once you move the roll into the highest point at the bottom of the eccentric (looking from the right side), adjust the lever so that the left piston is about 1mm above the guiding travel.

Stopping lever adjustment:

1. Adjust the pin stopper of the three fork lever to 0,1 mm once you start the machine moving. The play between the ruler draw bar and the roll is 0,1 – 0,5 mm when the table traversing, and the minimal clearance (0,1 mm) between the brake and the stopping cam.

2. Loosen the lever on the stopping cam and adjust the play on the block to 0,1 - 0,2mm. Once the roll gets onto the hump, set ut the play between the lenght gauge regular and the switch lever to 0,2mm.

3. Move the table to the home position by turning the crank on the cam case, leave the table still. Adjust the play between dogs (gauge 1,5mm) by moving the stud on the stopping lever (smaller play towards the operator, larger play off the operator).
