7. At approximately the same time the threads are being cut and the beam is
moving to clear the tail, the grabber reaches out from behind the needle area
and "grabs" the tail, pulling it up and back into the Velcro wiper strip.
8. When the trim is complete the peripheral begins embroidering again
automatically.
Trimmer Set Up And Adjustments
The following procedures provide a guide for adjusting various portions of the
trimmer system.
"FACTORY SERVICE ADVISED"
Note: This procedure requires the use of several service tools: a medium screw
driver, a small screw driver, a 3/32" hex wrench, a 1.5 mm hex wrench, a
2 mm hex wrench, and a 2.5 mm hex wrench in addition to the 5 mm Z
drive shaft hex wrench.
Note: In addition to the "standard" tools needed above, you will need a torque
wrench (0-250 in/lbs) if making adjustments to the "select" position.
CAUTION! If these adjustments are attempted without using the proper procedures
and tools (and without proper training in some cases), machine components may
be damaged and operation of the trimmers may become inconsistent. Failure to
comply with this caution may void the warranty!
Although many adjustments are fairly straight forward, some are not and they are
recommended to be performed by factory trained technical personnel. These
adjustments are marked: "FACTORY SERVICE ADVISED."
NOTE: Before attempting to adjust any trimmer mechanisms, ensure that the
embroidery heads are properly synchronized to each other. Refer to the
embroidery head synchronization procedures in this manual for details in
this area.
Z Timeout Errors
An area of concern with the trimmer system is when birdnesting occurs in the hook
area. If a birdnest builds up in the hook area, there is a potential that movable knife
movement may be obstructed and a mechanical slippage or bending may occur
with one or more components of the trimmer system. This is the most probable
cause for the trimmer system to create Z timeout errors. When Z timeout errors are
a result of the trimmer system, there are two general areas that may contribute to
the situation: 1) bent or broken parts in the trimmer cam system, and 2) movable
knife select position adjustment.
