lockstitch short seam unit for seams of stitch type 301.

This short seam unit is designed for use in sewing heavy-weight fabric,

as well as thick and hard leather.

sewing of buckle caps, tabs, suitcases, tarpaulins, knapsacks and

backpacks.

Heavy-weight fabrics are used in the sewing of heavy-duty carrying

belts, car belts, as well as belts for aviation.

Generally only dry sewing material may be worked with this machine.

The material may be no thicker than 16 mm when pressed together by

the lowered clamping feet.

The machine must be operated with eye protection. The information to

be found printed on the yellow sign on the head cover is to be strictly

adhered to.

The seam is generally made with synthetic sewing yarns with a

dimension of 30/3 to 8 /3. Those wishing to use other threads must first

evaluate the dangers arising therefrom and, if necessary, take safety

measures.
