S-4000 LT

A - INTRODUCTION

1 . B A S I C I N F O R M AT I O N

The sewing machine S4000 LT is designed and produced to be very reliable. Important design goals have been to provide a safe machine that is simple and inexpensive to maintain.

The patented rotary needle bar shaft drive, a major benefit, delivers longer needle bar life. The added benefits of lower vibration and less noise, translate into less operator fatigue.

Simple buttonhole length adjustment located outside the machine, eliminates the need for tilt back, while the quick stop repair function delivers safety and makes repairs easier.

Special electronic and mechanical safety devices protect the operator and the machine. There is a special power lock out switch that permits the machine to be locked in the off position, so that it cannot be cycled accidentally. There is an emergency off switch. There is a low air pressure detector that will not permit machine operation if air pressure is dangerously low.

There are safety-warning labels on the machine in all areas that require special care. These must not be removed. If they are lost replace them immediately.

You are the most important safety equipment of all. Be sure you understand the proper operation of the machine. Never remove safety mechanisms or labels. We have made every effort to provide the safest possible machine, but without complete knowledge of how this machine operates, and the use of proper care by the operator, this machine can cause serious injury or death. That is why there are safety warnings throughout these instructions that carry one of these messages.

D A N G E R !

Possible loss of life.

WA R N I N G !

Possible serious injury or machine damage.

N OT I C E !

Possible injury or machine damage.

We recommend that service workers from AMF Reece oversee the installation and initial training of your mechanics and operators.

The most effective safety precaution is a well-managed safety program. Be sure those who use this machine are properly trained. Never disable safety equipment.

Always wear safety goggles when operating or servicing the machine.

After air connection check the set air pressure on the dial of the regulator. It should be in range

0.5 - 0.6 MPa. The green pointer

indicates the lowest working air pressure 0.5 MPa, which is set from the manufacturer on the regulator

. If the air pressure is lower than 0.5 Mpa after connecting the machine to the power supply, the red LED

lights up on the regulator and „Low Pressure“ message appears on the control panel display. To adjust the working pressure, loosen the regulator cap lock

and turn the regulator cap clockwise to increase the pressure. Push the regulator cap

➓ down. The LED is for setting the minimal operation air pressure.

3.

Power supply must be 208 to 230 volts 1 phase, 50 or 60 hertz. Receptacle plug must meet requirements of IEC standard 364-4-41, its circuit breaker must be minimal 10A with characteristic

C according to the EN 60947-2 (or 16A with characteristic B). No other devices must not be connected to the circuit breaker of the socker. The hand wheel must turn counter clockwise.

The machine is equipped with a filters which contain capacitors which generate an high frequency leakage current. In order to prevent nuisance tripping, residual current protection device must be protected against these high frequency currents: this is the case for industrial residual current device (example „S“ type).
