2. Designated use
The 367 is a sewing machine designed for sewing light to medium-heavy
material. Such material is generally made of textile fibres, but it may also
be leather. It is used in the clothing industry and for domestic and
motor-vehicle upholstery.
This special sewing machine can also be used to produce so-called
technical seams. In this case, however, the operator must assess the
possible dangers which may arise (with which DÜRKOPP ADLER AG
would be happy to assist), since such applications are on the one hand
relatively unusual and, on the other, so varied that no single set of criteria
can cover them all. The outcome of this assessment may require
appropriate safety measures to be taken.
Generally only dry material may be sewn with this machine. The
material may be no thicker than 10 mm when compressed by the
lowered sewing feet. The material may not contain any hard objects,
since if it does the machine may not be operated without an
eye-protection device. No such device is currently available.
The seam is generally produced with textile-fibre sewing thread of gauge
up to 15/3 NeB (cotton), 20/3 Nm (synthetic) or 25/4 Nm (covering yarn).
Before using any other thread the possible dangers arising must be
assessed and appropriate safety measures taken if necessary.
This special sewing machine may be set up and operated only in dry,
well-maintained premises. If the sewing machine is used in premises which
are not dry and well-maintained it may be necessary to take further
precautions (which should be agreed in advance - see EN 60204-31:1999).
As manufacturers of industrial sewing machines we proceed on the
assumption that personnel who work on our products will have
received training at least sufficient to acquaint them with all normal
operations and with any hazards that these may involve.
