3. STANDARD ADJUSTMENTS
(1) Machine head components
1) Main shaft components
Standard Adjustment
1 Adjusting the main shaft origin sensor
This sewing machine detects the upper dead point of the needle bar with the main shaft origin sensor
1 mounted inside the machine and makes the point the origin to control the revolution of the sewing
machine.
.... When the power is turned ON, the sewing machine performs the operation of the main shaft origin
retrieval and stops at the upper dead point of the thread take-up lever. In a case where the machine
does not stop at the upper dead point when the machine is turned by hand pulley or the like, an
alarm (AL-12 : needle UP trouble) is displayed when the MACHINE READY key is pressed. In this
case, the machine automatically returns to the upper dead point of the thread take-up lever by
pressing the RESET key.
(State to perform sewing is obtained.)

Adjustment Procedures

Results of Improper Adjustment

1) Turn OFF the power to the machine.

2) Loosen the setscrew and remove the top cover (lid located on
the top surface of the sewing machine).
3) Turn and stop the sewing machine by hand at the lower dead
point of the needle bar.
4) Loosen two collar setscrews 3 and adjust so that detecting
plate 2 is on the operator's side and the edge is vertical.
Remove the cap located on the back of the machine head and
enter a screwdriver to loosen one of the setscrews.
5) A clearance of 0.5 to 1.5 mm between the detecting plate and
the sensor is the standard adjustment value.
If the clearance is not within the specified value, loosen main
shaft origin sensor setscrew 4 to adjust the clearance.
6) When the aforementioned adjustment is completed, attach the
top cover in place and turn ON the power.
The adjustment is proper when the sewing machine stops
at the upper dead point of the needle bar.

When the main shaft origin

sensor and the detecting plate
are not properly adjusted, the
sewing machine does not stop
at the upper dead point of the
thread take-up lever.
In case of APW-297, stopping
height of the needle bar (needle
tip is 11.5 mm away from the
throat plate) is not within the
specified value, and thread
breakage at the start of sewing
may occur.

Goes up.

Comes down.

Loosen setscrews 1 and 2 in the needle bar frame shaft base

and turn needle bar frame shaft 3 counterclockwise. Then the
needle bar frame goes up, and clearance "a" becomes smaller
and clearance "c" becomes larger.
Turn it clockwise and the respective clearances are reversed.
(Adjusting area is up to the position where the slot of needle bar
frame shaft 3 becomes vertical.)
After performing the adjustment, tighten setscrews 1 and 2 to
fix needle bar frame shaft 3.

When the needle bar frame is

excessively high :
Needle bar locking is hard since
clearance "a" is small, and 1needle stop failure of slant
sewing occurs.
(Difference on the sewing end
side becomes smaller than the
given value.)
In addition, needle bar locking
failure occurs at the sewing end.
(One stitch drops at the sewing
start of the slant sewing.)
When the needle bar frame is
excessively low :
Needle bar releasing is hard
since clearance "c" is small, and
1-needle release failure of slant
sewing occurs.
(Difference on the sewing start
side becomes larger than the
given value.)

3) Needle feed components

Standard Adjustment
1 Needle feed adjusting (cam section)
It is normal that the needle feed amount is "0" (zero) when needle feed adjusting motor 1 stops at the
origin.
.... When the MACHINE READY key is pressed, needle feed adjusting motor 1 performs the origin
retrieval and stops at the origin.

Adjustment Procedures

Results of Improper Adjustment

1) Remove needle feed adjusting motor cover 2.

2) Turn ON the power and perform the sewing machine
independent operation at 500 rpm under the continuous mode.
.... At this time, needle feed adjusting motor 1 is excited at the
position of the origin.
3) Loosen clamp screw 4 in needle feed adjusting cam 3.
4) Turn needle feed adjusting cam 3 while checking the
longitudinal move of the needle bar and tighten clamp screw
4 in the cam at the position (angle) where the longitudinal
move stops to fix the cam.
.... The point of the position (angle) where the longitudinal move
stops is the position where the two cover setscrews come
just below.
(Caution) In addition to the normal installing angle, there is
another angle where the longitudinal move stops.
For reference, the longitudinal move becomes "0" (zero)
at the angle where the two cover setscrews come just
above. However, the needle feed direction is reverse to
the normal one at this fixing angle when the actual sewing
is operated. So, do not adjust to this state.

11

In the case where the needle

feed amount does not become
"0" (zero) when the needle feed
adjusting motor stops at the
origin, the needle feed amount
in accordance with panel input
value (percentage as against
the sewing pitch) cannot be
obtained. Accordingly, the
needle feed cannot be stopped
(setting the panel input value to
0%).
In addition, the needle entry
position in terms of stitches slips
from the given entry position.

Standard Adjustment
2 Adjusting the installing position of the needle bar frame
Adjust the installing position of the needle bar frame so that the needle is in the center of the needle
hole (slot) when the needle feed amount is "0" (zero).

Adjustment Procedures
*

Results of Improper Adjustment

Perform this adjustment after the adjustment of the needle feed

adjusting cam described in the previous clause.

1) Turn OFF the power after the needle feed adjusting motor origin
retrieval operation (turn ON the MACHINE READY key).
2) Turn the hand pulley to lower the needle to the needle hole.
3) Remove the top cover (lid located on the top surface of the
sewing machine).
4) Loosen clamp screw 2 in needle feed rocking rear arm 1.
5) Move the needle bar frame to and fro, position so that the needle
is in the center of the needle hole, and tighten clamp screw 2

6) Tighten the setscrew 2 in the upper knife driving cam at the
angle where the longitudinal move of needle bar stops to fix
the cam.
(Point : The longitudinal move of needle bar stops at the position
where letter "S" of the cam faces upward as shown in the figure
on the left.)
.... It is a difficult job and takes time to adjust the cam to the
angle where the longitudinal move of needle bar completely
stops.
It is no problem functionally if the longitudinal move is within
0.5 mm.

15

When the adjustment of timing

of the needle feed is improper,
a given locus of needle feed
cannot be obtained. As a result,
needle feed effect as against the
sewing material is lost.
Hook adjusting timing, when
needle feed amount is changed
(when the sewing pitch is
changed or the like), is slipped
and sewing conditions will be
deteriorated.

c Lateral adjustment
1) It is necessary that the rear binder is installed in the way that it
has no slip in the lateral direction as against the front binder
which has completed the adjustment of the needle entry
position.
2) When the rear binder slips in the lateral direction as against
the front binder, loosen bolt 2 in the binder oscillating stopper
and adjust the slip by moving in and out stopper 1.
3) Check that the bottom face of welt patch ruler 3 and the top
surface of sewing table 4 are parallel as viewed from the
operators side.

When the rear binder slips in the

lateral direction, there is a
danger that interlining or welt
patch is caught with the joint
section of the front or rear
binder. In addition, the
unevenness of left/right welt
patch widths is caused.

d Adjustment of height
1) Adjust the clearance between the bottom face of the welt patch
ruler and the top surface of the sewing table to 1 to 1.5 mm
when the rear binder is coming down by the up-and-down
cylinder.
2) When the clearance is not obtained, loosen lock nut 5 in the
up-and-down cylinder to adjust the clearance.
3) When the power is turned ON, the distance from the top surface
of the table from the bottom face of the ruler is 110.5 mm
(reference), and the clearance between the top surface of the
table and the welt patch holding dish is 14 mm (reference).

e Adjustment of welt patch clamp needle

1) The welt patch clamp needle in the rear binder is drawn back
from the welt patch ruler when the power is turned ON.
2) Protruding amount from the welt patch ruler to the top end of
the needle is 2.5 mm when the welt patch is clamped.
3) To adjust the protruding amount of the needle, loosen lock nut
6 in the welt patch clamp needle drive cylinder and adjust the
amount.
The standard dimension is 12 mm when the needle is drawn
back.
4) Check that there is no longitudinal play in terms of the whole
needle including the cylinder when the needle comes out. If
there is a play, loosen cylinder lock nut 6 and make the
dimension of 12 mm larger.
(Caution) However, the needle should not come out above
the welt patch ruler in the state that the needle is drawn
back.

37

If the needle comes out above

the welt patch ruler, welt patch
clamp failure due to the blunt
needle or slippage of interlining
or welt patch at the time of jump
feed during sewing is caused.

Welt patch cut presser

Welt patch cut presser should be positioned 7 to 8 mm away
from the welt patch receiver plate.
Welt patch cut knife should be positioned in the center of
groove of the welt patch cut presser.
When the welt patch is pressed by the welt patch cut presser,
the pressing pressure should be equal longitudinally and
laterally.

If the pressing pressure is

uneven, welt patch cut failure or
occurrence of smallwrinkle at
the time of welt patch cut is
caused.

1) Adjust the vertical position and longitudinal pressing pressure

of the welt patch cut presser by loosening two screws 2.
2) Adjust the lateral direction of the welt patch cut presser by
loosening two screws 4.

3) Adjust the protruding amount by loosening nut 5 at the top

end of the cylinder and turning the cylinder rod.

61

If the protruding amount of the

knife is excessively large, welt
patch cut failure is caused.

Standard Adjustment

Lifting amount of the welt patch cut presser should

be 8 mm from the welt patch receiver plate.

When changing the power voltage, it is necessary to change over the blue wire
on the J31 side to the voltage tap to be used.
Check again that the power is turned OFF and connect the blue wire on the J31
side to the tap on the transformer side wire to which the same voltage as that to
be used is described.
However, it is not necessary to change other wires. Fix the wires other than blue
one.
(A caution seal is pasted on 0V and 200V sections on the front side of the power
tap terminal board for prevention of mis-wiring.)
For these machine models, it is not necessary to change wiring in the control box
due to the difference between single phase and 3-phase power source.
Re-setting on the power tap terminal board is required only when the change of
the power voltage has occurred.

3) Pressing the manual button of CN68-40 (left flap hold) of the solenoid valve unit located on the side of the head binder, turn it
clockwise to lock. By this operation, the flap presser comes down and fixes the flap.
4) Fully take out the flap detecting sensor from under the origin detecting plate and move it to the position where it does not come under
the flap.
It is possible to move the sensor by pressing with fingers since the motor for flap detecting sensor travel is not in the state of currentcarrying.
5) Set the sensitivity adjusting VR (variable resistor) of the flap sensor to MAX., turn it counterclockwise and memorize the position where
the red operation indicating lamp on the VR has gone out.
(In case where the lamp does not go out even when the VR is fully set to MIN., make the MIN. the point of memory.
6) Further press the flap sensor with fingers and move it until the sensor fully enters under the flap.
7) Set the sensitivity adjusting VR of the flap sensor to MIN., turn it clockwise and memorize the position where the red operation
indicating lamp has lit up.
(In case where the lamp does not light up even when the VR is fully set to MAX., make the MAX. the point of memory.)
8) Adjust the almost middle point of the respective memorized points as the set value of the sensitivity adjusting VR.
9) Release the lock of the manual button of the solenoid valve and remove the flap to complete the adjustment.
(Caution) This adjustment value is not necessary to re-adjust when it has been set once.

PREFACE
This Engineers Manual is written for the technical personnel who are responsible for the service and maintenance
of the sewing machine. This manual describes Adjustment Procedure, Results of Improper Adjustment, and
other functions which are not covered by the Instruction Manual intended for the maintenance personnel and
sewing operators at a sewing factory.
All personnel engaged in repair of APW-297, 298 are required to carefully read Section 2 Standard Adjustment
which contains important information on the maintenance of APW-297, 298.
The Standard Adjustment consists of two parts ; the former part presents illustration and simplified explanation
for the convenience of reconfirmation of the required adjustment values in carrying out actual adjustment after
reading this manual once; and the latter part provides Results of Improper Adjustment in which sewing and/or
mechanical failures, and the correcting procedures are explained for those persons who perform such adjustment
for the first time.
