Please observe all notes from Chapter Safety of the instruction manual! In particular care must be taken to see that all protective devices are refitted properly after adjustment, see Chapter.06 Danger warnings of the instruction manual! Unless stated otherwise, during all adjustment work the machine must be disconnected from the electric and pneumatic power supply! Danger of injury if the machine is started accidentally! The illustrations in this chapter show the single-needle machine, PFAFF 55. For the two-needle machine, PFAFF 56, various adjustments have to be made twice, i.e. on the left- and right-hand sewing hooks. This is pointed out in the chapters concerned, and some of the illustrations have to be regarded in reverse..0 Notes on adjustment All following adjustments are based on a fully assembled machine and may only be carried out by expert staff trained for this purpose. Machine covers, which have to be removed and replaced to carry out checks and adjustments, are not mentioned in the text. The order of the following chapters corresponds to the most logical work sequence for machines which have to be completely adjusted. If only specific individual work steps are carried out, both the preceding and following chapters must be observed. Screws, nuts indicated in brackets ( ) are fastenings for machine parts, which must be loosened before adjustment and tightened again afterwards..0 Tools, gauges and other equipment Set of screwdrivers with to 0 mm blade widths Set of open-ended spanners/wrenches, 7 to 4 mm across flats Set of allen keys from to 6 mm Needle rise gauge (Part No. 6-600-0) Screw clamp (Part No. 6-600-5/00) 7.0 mm gauge for presser-foot height (part No. 6-6-6) 5.0 mm gauge for top feed stroke (part No. 6-6-60) Metal rule (part No. 08-880 8-00).0 Abbreviations t.d.c. = top dead centre b.d.c. = bottom dead centre.04 Explanation of the symbols In this adjustment manual, symbols emphasize operations to be carried out or important information.
