Dürkopp Adler 739-23 Installation Instructions

To thread the Dürkopp Adler 739-23, start by raising the presser foot and turning the handwheel to raise the needle. Place the spool on the spool pin and guide the thread through the thread guide, tension discs, and take-up lever. Follow the threading path indicated on the machine, ensuring the thread passes through the needle eye from front to back.
If the Dürkopp Adler 739-23 does not start, first check the power supply and ensure the machine is properly plugged in. Verify the power switch is turned on. Check the foot pedal and connections. If there is still an issue, inspect the fuses and replace any that are blown.
To adjust the tension, locate the tension adjustment dial on the machine. Turn the dial clockwise to increase tension and counterclockwise to decrease it. Test on a scrap fabric to find the optimal tension setting for your material.
First, ensure the needle is correctly inserted and is the right type and size for the fabric. Check for any bent or damaged needles and replace them. Verify that the needle is not hitting the presser foot or throat plate. Also, ensure the machine is threaded correctly and the tension is not too tight.
Regular maintenance should be performed every 6 months, or more frequently if the machine is used extensively. This includes cleaning lint and dust, oiling moving parts, and checking for any loose screws or worn components.
Use high-quality sewing machine oil specifically designed for sewing machines. Avoid using household oils or other lubricants, as they may cause damage. Apply oil sparingly to the recommended parts as specified in the user manual.
Skipped stitches can be due to incorrect needle type or size. Ensure the needle is compatible with the fabric. Check for proper threading and tension settings. Inspect the needle for damage and replace it if necessary.
To change the presser foot, raise the needle to its highest position and lift the presser foot lever. Press the presser foot release button to remove the current foot. Align the new presser foot with the presser foot holder and lower the presser foot lever to secure it in place.
Unusual noises may indicate a need for cleaning or oiling. Turn off the machine and remove lint and debris from the bobbin area and feed dogs. Check for any loose parts or screws and tighten them. If the noise persists, consult a professional technician.
For sewing thick fabrics, use a larger needle and adjust the presser foot pressure to accommodate the fabric thickness. Increase the stitch length for better penetration and ensure the tension is set appropriately for thicker materials.
