1 Product description The Dürkopp Adler 531 is a CNC lockstitch button sewer. The existing button patterns are scalable and can be saved in this modified form. In addition it is possible to enter “free” stitch patterns (programming). The button sewer is fitted with an automatic sewing foot elevator, a thread cutter, a thread wiper, an electromagnetic thread tensioner and an integral DC direct drive.
2 Intended Use The Class 531 is a button sewer that can be used as intended to sew light to medium weight material. Such material is normally material made out of textile fibers or leather. Such sewing materials are used in the clothing, domestic upholstery and automobile upholstery industry. In addition it is possible that even so-called technical seams can be done with this button sewer.

6.1 Technical data for the sub classes Subclass: 211 Sewing stitch type: 301 Hook type: Oscillating hooks Needle system: DPx17 (135x17) Needle thickness: [ Nm] 80 - 110 Needle thickness standard: [ Nm] 90 Thread thickness: 50/3 - 120/3 Stitch length: [mm] Depending on seam construction Max. speed [min ] 2700 [mm] 9 Clamp elevation On delivery maximum Sewing area max. in X direction: max.
7 Operation 7.1 Threading needle threads Caution, danger of injury! Switch the main switch off. Only thread needle threads when the button sewer is switched off. – – Put reels of thread onto the thread stand and run the needle and hook threads through the feed arm. The feed arm must be vertically above the thread reels. Thread needle threads as shown in the following illustration .
7.2 Adjusting needle thread tension 3 2 1 Pre-tensioning 3 When the main tensioner 2 is open a slight residual tension on the needle thread is required. The residual tension is created by the pre-tensioner 3. At the same time the pre-tensioner 3 affects the length of the cut needle thread end (starting thread for the next seam). – Shorter starting thread: Turn the knurled nut 1 clockwise. – Longer starting thread: Turn the knurled nut 1 anti-clockwise.
7.4 Adjusting thread regulator 1 3 2 1 Caution, danger of injury! Switch the main switch off. Only adjust the thread regulator when the button sewer is switched off. The thread regulator 3 adjusts the amount of needle thread required to form the stitch. Only a precisely adjusted thread regulator guarantees optimum sewing results. If the adjustment is correct the needle thread loop must slide over the thickest part of the hook with slight tension. – Undo screw 1.
7.5 Winding hook threads : 1 5 : 2000 : 35 : 3.4/ 3.4 / : 6-6 /Ó: 0 1 4 3 2 6 – – – – – – Put the bobbin on the bobbin winder 4. Pull the thread through the guide 2 and round the tensioner 1 . Wind the thread anti-clockwise about 5 times round the coil bobbin. Push the bobbin lever 3 onto the bobbin. Sew The bobbin lever ends the procedure as soon as the bobbin is full. After winding break the thread on the thread clamp 5.
7.6 Changing hook thread bobbin 1 7 4 2 5 6 2 3 1 Caution, danger of injury! Switch the main switch off. Only change the hook thread bobbin when the button sewer is switched off. Removing the empty bobbin – Pull the hook cover 3 downwards. – Lift up the bobbin case latch 1. – Remove bobbin case 2 with bobbin 6. – Take the empty bobbin out of the bobbin case 2. To insert a full bobbin – Insert a full bobbin into the bobbin case 2.
7.7 Adjusting hook thread tension 1 2 3 Caution, danger of injury! Switch the main switch off. Only adjust the hook thread tension when the button sewer is switched off. The required hook thread tension should be created by the tensioning spring 1. The bobbin case 3 should drop slowly under its own weight if the threaded hook thread is to be held fast. Adjusting the tensioning spring – Remove the bobbin case 3 and the bobbin.
7.8 Changing the needle 2 3 2 1 1 1 Caution, danger of injury! Switch the main switch off. Only change the needle when the button sewer is switched off. – – – Undo screw 1. Push the new needle into the hole in the needle bar 2 until it can go no further. CAUTION! The hollow channel 3 on the needle must point towards the hook. Screw up screw 1. CAUTION! After changing to a different needle thickness the distance between the hook and the needle must be adjusted (see Service instructions).
7.9 Button shank shaper (optional) 2 1 The button clamp on the button sewer is fitted with a button shank shaper 1. Setting the shank length – To change the setting of the button shank shaper 2: downwards = shank becomes shorter upwards = shank becomes longer.
7.10 Adjusting the button clamp hook feet 2 1 5 4 3 1 Caution, danger of injury! Take great care when adjusting the button clamp when the button sewer is switched on. The button should be pushed as lightly as possible between the hook feet on the button clamp and can be aligned. But the button must be securely clamped so that it cannot turn when it is inserted into the material. Stop 4 adjusts the amount the hook feet open. – Switch the button sewer on. The button clamp lifts up.
