The Dürkopp Adler 743-115 is known for its high-speed performance, integrated direct drive, and automatic thread trimming. It also features a large sewing area and programmable patterns, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications.
Start by checking the threading path and ensuring the thread is correctly threaded through the tension discs. Adjust the tension dial gradually and test on a scrap fabric. Ensure the bobbin is wound evenly and inserted correctly.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning lint and dust from the feed dogs and bobbin area, oiling the machine as per the manual, and checking for loose screws or parts. Regularly replace the needle and ensure the machine is properly lubricated.
Ensure you are using the correct needle type and size for your fabric. Check that the needle is not bent or dull and is inserted correctly. Verify that the needle and bobbin threads are properly threaded and tensioned.
Check the power cord and ensure it is securely plugged into an outlet. Inspect the fuse and replace it if blown. Verify that the emergency stop button is not engaged and that all connections are secure.
Turn off the machine and unplug it. Loosen the needle clamp screw and remove the old needle. Insert a new needle with the flat side facing the back and push it up as far as it will go. Tighten the needle clamp screw securely.
It is recommended to oil the machine after every 8 hours of operation. Focus on oiling the hook race, needle bar, and other moving parts as specified in the user manual. Always use the correct type of sewing machine oil.
Locate the presser foot pressure adjustment dial or screw on the machine. Turn it clockwise to increase pressure or counterclockwise to decrease it, depending on the fabric thickness you are working with.
Stop sewing immediately and check for tangled thread or debris in the bobbin area. Ensure the needle is not bent and is properly installed. Lubricate the machine if needed and check for any loose parts.
Refer to the user manual for the specific programming instructions. Typically, you will access the control panel, select a pattern, and adjust the stitch length and width according to your requirements. Save the pattern for future use.
