Operation Manual

5.7 Sewing-foot stroke
The height of the sewing-foot stroke is set with adjusting wheel 1.
Machines without FA (w ithout Thread Trimmer)
On these machines the speed of rotation is not checked.
Please c omply with the note and table below.
Machines w ith FA (with Thread Trimmer)
The s ewing-foot stroke and stitch rate are interdependent. A potentiometer i s linked
mechanically with the adjusting wheel 1. By means of this potentiometer the control unit
detects which foot-stroke has been set and restricts the speed accordingly.
Machines with HP 13 - 7 (Speedomat)
The maximum stroke can be activated while sewing is in progress with the knee switch 2.
Like machines with FA, these machines also have a potentiometer.
