To calibrate the BTSR sensor, power on the machine and access the settings menu. Select the sensor calibration option and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process. Ensure no obstructions are near the sensor during calibration.
Check the needle for damage or bending and replace it if necessary. Ensure the needle is inserted correctly and that the thread is properly tensioned. Also, verify that the bobbin is correctly threaded.
Regular maintenance should be performed every 6 months, including cleaning, lubrication, and inspection of moving parts. If the machine is used heavily, consider more frequent maintenance checks.
Use high-quality, consistent thickness threads for optimal performance with the BTSR sensor. Polyester threads are generally recommended due to their strength and durability.
Re-thread the machine both on the upper and bobbin threads. Check the tension settings and adjust them according to the fabric being used. Clean any lint or debris from the tension discs.
Unusual noises could be due to lack of lubrication, misaligned parts, or debris in the machine. Perform a thorough cleaning and lubrication. If the problem persists, consult the service manual or a professional technician.
Turn off the machine and unplug it. Loosen the needle clamp screw, remove the old needle, and insert the new needle with the flat side facing the back. Tighten the needle clamp screw securely.
Check the feed dogs to ensure they are raised properly. Clean any lint or debris from the feed mechanism. Adjust the presser foot pressure if necessary, based on the thickness of the fabric.
An E1 error code typically indicates a threading issue or sensor error. Re-thread the machine carefully, ensuring all guides are followed. Check the BTSR sensor for obstructions or misalignment.
Yes, the Dürkopp Adler 550-867 is suitable for heavy-duty fabrics. Ensure you use the appropriate needle and thread type for thick materials, and adjust the tension settings as needed.
