●Switch on the bobbin winder while at the same time pressing bobbin winder spindle 2
and lever 3.
The bobbin fi lls up during sewing.
If the machine is only being used to wind the bobbin (without sewing), a bobbin
case must be inserted in the hook! (Danger of damage to the hook).
●The tension of the thread on bobbin 1 can be adjusted with knurled screw 4.
●The bobbin winder stops automatically when bobbin 1 is full.
●Remove the fi lled bobbin 1 and cut the thread on knife 5.
If the thread is wound unevenly, loosen nut 6 and turn thread guide 7 accordin-
gly. Retighten nut 6 after the adjustment.

9.04 Inserting the bobbin case / Adjusting the bobbin thread tension
●Insert the bobbin into the bobbin case.
●Pass the thread through the slot under
the spring according to Fig. 9-04.
●Pass the thread through the notch.
●Adjust the thread tension by turning
screw 1.
When the thread is pulled, the

9.03 Removing / Inserting the bobbin case
Switch off the machine!
Danger of injury due to uninten-
tional starting of the machine!
Removing the bobbin case:
●Tilt back the machine.
●Raise latch 1 and remove bobbin case 2.
Inserting the bobbin case:
●Press bobbin case 2 until you feel it snap
into the bobbin case base.
Return the machine to its up-
right position using both hands!
Danger of injury by crushing
between the machine and the
table top!

9.05 Threading the needle thread / Adjusting the needle thread tension
Switch off the machine!
Danger of injury due to unintentional starting of the machine!
●Thread the machine as shown in Fig. 9-05.
●On machines with subclass -909/14 also guide the thread through thread trapper 2.
●Adjust the needle thread tension by turning disk 1.

Care and maintenance
31
These maintenance intervals are calculated for the average running time of a
single shift operation. If the machine is operated more than this, shorter inter-
vals are recommended.
10.02 Cleaning the machine
The cleaning cycle required for the machine depends on following factors:
●Single or several shift operation
●Amount of dust resulting from the workpiece
It is therefore only possible to stipulate the best possible cleaning instructions for each indi-
vidual case.
For all cleaning work the machine must be disconnected from the mains
by switching off the on/off switch or by removing the mains plug!
Danger of injury if the machine suddenly starts up .
To avoid breakdowns, the following cleaning
work is recommended for single shift ope-
ration:
●Swing out the cover plate and tilt back
the sewing head.
●Clean the hook and hook compartment
daily, more often if in continuous opera-
tion.
Return the machine to its up-
right position using both hands!
Danger of injury by crushing
between the edge of the
machine and the table top!

10.04 Oiling the edge trimmer -731/01
●Once a week pour oil on oil sponge 1
through hole 2.
●Lubricate the guides 3 and 4 once a
week.
Only use oil with a mean vis-
cosity of 22.0 mm2/s at 40°C
and a density of 0.865 g/cm3 at
15°C.
We recommend
PFAFF sewing machine oil,
part no. 280-1-120 144.

10.03 Topping up the oil tank
The oil reservoir must always
have oil in it.
●Whenever it is necessary to refi ll the re-
servoir, tilt back the machine and let it
rest on the sewing head support.
●Fill oil through hole 1 into the reservoir 2
up to the level of the front edge (see ar-
row).
Use both hands to set the sew-
ing head upright!
Danger of crushing between the
sewing head and the table top!
Only use oil with a mean vis-
cosity of 22.0 mm2/s at 40°C
and a density of 0.865 g/cm3 at
15°C.
