1. Description of product 1.1 Use in accordance with the requirements The DÜRKOPP ADLER 559 is a sewing automat determined for sewing buttonholes in light to medium-weight material, i.e. fabrics made of textile or synthetic fibers. Such sewing materials are used in the clothing industry. Furthermore, this sewing automat can possibly also sew so-called technical seams.
– – – – – – – – Pneumatic cutting open of the buttonhole. Automatic adaptation of the cutting power of the buttonhole knife dependent on the programmed buttonhole length. Due to the vertically working cutting block support no follow-up work required in case of different cutting block heights. Central oil wick lubrication from two oil reservoirs. Switch at the head cover for moving to the ideal position for threading in. Electronically controlled needle thread tension.

2. Technical data Machine head: Class 559 Type of sewing stitch: Double-chainstitch Number of needles: 1 Needle system: 558 / 579 Attention! When changing over from one needle system to the other the distance between looper and needle and the adjustment of the needle protection have to be checked in any case (see service instructions). Max. needle size: Nm 80-120 (558) / Nm 90-125 (579) Needle thread size: max. Nm 50 Looper thread size: max. Nm 30 Max.
3. Operation 3.1 Needles, threads and gimps Needles Needle system: Needle sizes: 558 / 579 Nm 80-120 (558) / Nm 90-125 (579) according to the type of sewing thread, fabric and sewing equipment (E-No.). Attention! When changing over from one needle system to the other the distance between looper and needle and the adjustment of the needle protection have to be checked in any case (see service instructions). Threads The look of the buttonhole is essentially influenced by the used sewing thread.
3.2 Removing and inserting the clamping plates 2 1 3 Caution: Danger of injury ! The removing and inserting of the clamping plates 1 has to be done with the sewing automat switched off or in the position “Threading mode” (see chapter “Threading mode”). Remove the clamping plates – Slightly lift the right clamping plate 1 at the back and pull it backwards. Then remove the clamping plate sideways to the right. – Slightly lift the left clamping plate 1 at the back and pull it backwards.
3.3 Needle change 1 2 3 Caution: Danger of injury ! The needle has to be changed with the sewing automat switched off or in the position “Threading mode” (see chapter “Threading mode”). – – – – – Loosen screw 1 (Allen key in the accessories). Pull needle 2 out of the needle bar. Push the new needle into the hole of the needle bar as far as it will go. Align needle 2 in such a way that the hollow groove points to the front and the flat 3 at the needle butt to the left (towards the fastening screw 1).
3.4 Threading the needle thread 1 2 Caution: Danger of injury ! The needle thread must only be threaded in when the machine is switched off or in the “Threading mode” (see chapter “Threading mode”). – – – – – 12 Thread in the needle thread as shown in the illustrations. For threading in the needle thread push the threading in wire (in the accessories) through the hollow needle bar 1 from the bottom to the top. Lead the needle thread behind the looper. Pull the wire with the needle thread down.
3.5 Threading the looper thread Looper thread Gimp thread 1 Caution: Danger of injury ! The looper thread must only be threaded in when the machine is switched off or in the “Threading mode” (see chapter “Threading mode”). The automat must be in its final position, i.e. the looper turret with the loopers has to point to the front. – Remove the clamping plates (see chapter 3.2). – Swivel the automat upwards.
3.6 Threading the gimp thread Bottom thread Gimp thread The looper turret has been turned 90° counter clockwise in order to show clearly the thread guide of the gimp thread. Caution: Danger of injury ! The gimp thread must only be threaded in when the sewing machine is switched off or in the “Threading mode” (see chapter “Threading mode”). – – 4. Thread in the gimp thread as shown in the illustrations. Leave an approx. 25 mm long gimp end hanging out of the gimp hole of the throat plate.
5. Thread tension 5.1 Needle thread and looper thread tension 1 1 The thread tensions are dependent on the type and quality of the threads and fabrics. The buttonhole looks best if it is sewn with the lowest possible thread tension. Too tight thread tensions can lead to undesired ruffling and thread breakage, particularly when processing thin materials. Upper thread tension In general the upper thread tension has to be tighter than the looper thread tension.
1 Looper thread tension – Swivel the machine head up. – Adjust the looper thread tension by means of tension 1. Turn the tension in clockwise direction in order to increase the looper thread tension. Turn the tension counter-clockwise in order to reduce the looper thread tension. – Swivel the machine head down. Caution: Danger of injury ! The looper thread tension must only be adjusted when the machine is switched off or in the “Threading mode” (see chapter “Threading mode”).
6. Changing of cutting blocks and knives 1 2 4 3 1 The cutting length can be altered by changing the cutting blocks. Caution: Danger of injury ! Change the cutting block or the knife only when the automatic buttonholer is switched off! Change the cutting block – Loosen the Allen screw 1 (Allen key in the accessories). – Pull the cutting block 2 to the front and remove it. – Insert new cutting block and push it as far as it will go. – Tighten the Allen screw 1 again.
7. Push button By means of the push button it is possible to control the clamps and to start the sewing operation. According to the adjustment in the service menu (see service instructions) the function is different. 1.
