To thread the Dürkopp Adler 910, begin by placing the spool on the spool pin, then guide the thread through the thread guide. Continue threading through the tension discs and take-up lever, finally threading the needle from front to back.
If the machine skips stitches, check the needle to ensure it is not bent or dull. Make sure it is inserted correctly. Also, verify that the thread is correctly threaded and that the tension is properly set.
Adjust the tension by turning the tension dial. Lower numbers reduce tension, while higher numbers increase it. Test on a scrap piece of fabric to ensure optimal stitch quality.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning lint from the bobbin case and feed dogs, oiling the machine as per the manual, and checking for loose screws. Professional servicing is recommended annually.
To clear a jammed bobbin case, first turn off the machine. Remove the needle and presser foot, and open the bobbin cover. Carefully remove any tangled thread and reset the bobbin, ensuring it is correctly positioned.
The needle size depends on the fabric. For lightweight fabrics, use sizes 9-11. For medium, sizes 12-14, and for heavy fabrics, use 16-18. Check the manual for specific recommendations.
Check if the thread is correctly threaded, the needle is appropriate for the fabric, and the tension is not too tight. Also, inspect the thread spool for any snags or defects.
If the motor overheats, stop sewing immediately and turn off the machine. Allow it to cool down, check for any obstructions, and ensure the machine is properly lubricated.
To replace the presser foot, raise the needle and presser foot, release the foot by pressing the lever at the back, then position the new foot under the holder and lower the presser bar to snap it into place.
Error codes often relate to threading issues, incorrect settings, or mechanical problems. Refer to the manual for specific codes and resolutions, which may include re-threading or adjusting settings.
