Adjusting the stitch length
I ncreesed stitch length :
1. Loosen the wing screw 15. fig. 9.
2. Lower the slide ) 2.
3. Tighten the wing screw 15.
Reduced stitch length :
1. Loosen the wing screw 15. fig. 9.
2. Lift the slide 12.
3. Tighten the wing screw 15.
Adjustment of the reverse stitch is. in this case. replaced bV the
universal feed device which is governed bV rotating the wing
handle 13.
8. Lower the pedal. The machine will start sewing.
The further the pedal is lowered, the fast the machine will sew.
Never push or pull the material to be sewn.
9. Changing the direction of sewing by rotating the double-sided
wing handle 13.
This should be done on I y while the feeding foot does not press
onto the material (so as not to darnage the surface of the sew.
ing material).
The wing handle can be locked in position by the screw 61 ,
fig. 1 (constant direction of sewing) .
10. Allow the machine to run without any material on I y with
the sewing foot lifter .
11. After sewing, switch off the motor .
Adjusting the sewing foot pressure
High pressure :
1. Loosen the counter nut 56. fig. 4.
2. Turn the screw 57 clockwise.
3. Tighten the counter nut.
Low pressure:
1. Loosen the counter nut 56.
2. Turn the screw 57 counter-clockwise
3. Tighten the counter-nut.
Adjusting the thread tension
1. Check the seam after having sewn a short distance.
2. Fig.8 (stitch type)
above = correct interlocking of threads
centre = needle thread tension insufficient or bobbin thread
tension excessive
below = needle thread tension excessive or bobbin thread
tension insufficient
3. Adjust the needle thread tension by the nut 103, fig. 4:
For reducing the tension = turn the nut 103 clockwise.
For increasing the tension = turn the nut 103 counter-clock-
wise.
4. If possible, do not change the bobbin thread tension. Should
this, however, become necessary, regulate it by the screw 62,
fig.6.
For increasing the tension = turn the screw 62 clockwise.
For reducing the tension = turn the screw 62 counter-clockwise.
Cleaning and oiling
1. After a longer period of use or standstill the sewing machine
must be cleaned (see also "cleaning and oiling" above).
2. Before oiling. apply a small amount of paraffin to the poinds
indicated.
3. Operate the machine for a short while with the foot lifted.
4. Wipe off any dirt and oil the machine.
Use of fit-on table
I n order to be able to carry out "flat" work on the Adler 30. a
fit-on table can be supplied. This wooden table is fitted over the
lower arm in front and hooked into the lugs provided for the
purpose on the lower arm. Swing out the table support and in-
sert into the hole the stand plate.
Adjusting the sewing foot lift
Adjust the sewing foot lift according to the thickness of the
material to be sewn.
1. Loosen the screw 102, fig. 4.
2. Displace the lift adjusting clamp 69 on the leaf spring 59.
The further the clamp is moved to the left, the higher is
the presser foot lift.
3. Tighten the screw 102.
Adjusting the thread take-up lever
The thread take-up lever has been adjusted in the factory for stan-
d5rd sewing material. When processing extremely thick or thin
material the thread take-up lever must be adjusted accordingly .
1. Loosen the screw 3, fig. 1, and set the pointer on the scale 4
accordingly.
thin = for 2 mm thick material
medium = for 5 mm thick material
thick = for 8 mm thick material.
Each division on the scale corresponds to a material thickness
of 1 mm.
2. Tighten the screw 3.
3. Ensure that, when adjusting the take-up lever, the thread is not
tensioned when the needle point enters the material.
Use of the tape binder
1. Unscrew the normal throat plate.
2. screw-on the throat plate 63, fig. 10, which is provided with
tape guide pins.
3. Secure the tape guide worm 64 by the screw 65 in such a
manner that the throat plate lug 66 locates in the groove of
the fastening plate.
4. The front edge of the worm 64 should be flush with the edge
67 of the needle hole.
5. Unscrew the standard sewing foot.
6. screw-on the special sewing foot in such a manner that the
lower part situates itself under the throat plate trunnion and
that the trunnion locates itself between the guiding pins.
8. Place the tape reel between the disks and tighten the tension-
ing nut so that the tape is slightly tensioned.
9. Pass the tape (slightly taper the leading edge) through the
pins 68, through the worm 64 and between the upper and
lower section of the sewing foot.
10. Push the material to be bound between the worm shoulders
and thus between the binding tape, the inner edge of the worm
serving as a stop to ensure an even infeed of the material.
11. The tape width should be adapted to the worm, i.e. it must
not be wider than the worm permits. It is, therefore, necessa-
ry to use a different worm for each tape width .
General indications
Should you have any queries. piease demand the visit of an agent
or of a consulting engineer .
If your questions are directed to the factory .piease specify:
1. The date of delivery
2. The class designation
3. The machine head number
Preparation for sewing and sewing
Foot-operated machine:
1. Pull up the bobbin thread.
While doing this, hold fast the needle thread and rotate the
handwheel 7, fig. 1, clockwise (the locking button 6 must have
snapped, so that the sewing mechanism follows the rotation
of the handwheel) .
2. Lift the sewing foot 10 by the lever 14.
3. Place both threads to the rear blow the sewing foot.
4. Place the material underneath the sewing foot and lower the
sewing foot by the lifting lever 14.
5. Put the sewing machine into motion by the handwheel and, at
the same time, place both feet on the pedal and start sewing
by operating the pedal in a regular manner. If you are not
used to operate the pedal, we recommend that you practise
for a while with the sewing mechanism cut out.
6. Never push or pull the material to be sewn.
7. Changing the direction of sewing by rotating the double-sided
wing-handle 13.
This should be done only while the feeding foot does not press
onto the material (so as not to damage the surface of the sew-
ing material) .The wing handle can be locked in position by the
screw 61 (constant direction of sewing).
8. Operate the machine without fabric only if the sewing foot is
lifted.
Foot 8nd motor-oper8ted m8Chine:
1. The voltage on the current meter should coincide with the de-
tails on the motor plate.
2. Plug supply line into mains.
3. Hang out the flywheel tie rod by loosening the screw. (For pedal
operation the motor tie rod must be disengaged.)
4. Pull up the bobbin thread (hold fast the needle thread and turn
the handwheel once clockwise).
5. Lift the sewing foot 10 by the lever 14, fig. 1.
6. Place both threads towards the rear underneath the sewing foot.
7. Place material under the sewing foot and lower the latter by
the lever 14.
