Dürkopp Adler Z116 027201 Fitting Instructions

To thread the Dürkopp Adler Z116 027201, start by raising the needle to its highest position. Place the spool on the spool pin, guide the thread through the thread guides, tension discs, and finally through the needle. Refer to the user manual for detailed threading diagrams.

If stitches are skipping, check the needle to ensure it is not bent or dull. Replace it if necessary. Also, make sure the needle is properly inserted and the correct type is being used for the fabric. Verify that the thread is correctly threaded and the tension is properly adjusted.

Regular maintenance involves cleaning the feed dogs, bobbin area, and needle plate to remove lint and dust. Lubricate the machine as per the manual's instructions and ensure all moving parts are free from debris. Regularly check for worn-out parts and replace them to maintain optimal performance.

A loud noise may indicate that the machine needs cleaning or lubrication. Check for any debris or thread caught in the bobbin area or feed dogs. Ensure that all screws and fittings are tight and that the machine is correctly threaded. A professional service may be needed if the noise persists.

Adjusting the tension involves turning the tension dial on the machine. For tighter tension, turn the dial to a higher number. For looser tension, turn it to a lower number. Test on a scrap piece of fabric to ensure the stitch quality meets your requirements.

If the fabric is not feeding properly, check that the presser foot is lowered and the feed dogs are engaged. Inspect the feed dogs for lint or debris and clean as necessary. Ensure that the fabric is not too thick for the machine's capacity.

For bobbin tension issues, first re-thread the bobbin ensuring it is wound evenly and placed correctly in the bobbin case. If the problem persists, adjust the bobbin tension screw slightly and test. Consult the manual for precise tension settings.

To change the needle, turn off the machine and raise the needle bar to its highest position. Loosen the needle clamp screw and remove the old needle. Insert a new needle with the flat side facing the back and tighten the clamp screw securely.

Thread bunching, or "bird's nesting," can often be resolved by re-threading the machine both at the top and in the bobbin area. Ensure the thread is seated in the tension discs and the presser foot is lowered during threading. Adjust the tension settings if necessary.

If the machine is not turning on, check the power supply and ensure that the power cord is properly connected. Verify that the power switch is turned on. If the machine still does not power up, inspect the fuse and replace it if blown. If problems persist, consult a professional technician.
