IDENTIFICATION OF MACHINES

Each Union Special machine is identified by a Style number on a name plate on the machine. Style numbers are classified as standard and special. Standard Style numbers have one or more letters suffixed, but never contain the letter "Z". Example: "Style 39500 JK". Special Style numbers contain the letter "Z". When only minor changes are made in a standard machine, a "Z" is suffixed to the standard Style number. Example: "Style 39500 JKZ".

Styles of machines similar in construction are grouped under a Class number, which differs from the Style number in that it contains no letters. Example: "Class 39500".

APPLICATION OF CATALOG

This catalog is a supplement to Catalog No. 103 FA and should be used in conjunction therewith. Only those parts used on Styles 39500 JK and JL, but not on Style 39500 FA are illustrated and listed at the back of this catalog. On the page opposite the illustration will be found a listing of the parts, with their part numbers, description and the number of pieces required. Numbers in the first column are reference numbers only, and merely indicate the position of that part in the illustration, Reference numbers should never be used in ordering parts. Always use the part number listed in the second column.

This catalog applies specifically to the standard Style of machine as listed herein. It can also be applied with discretion to some Special Styles of machines in Class 39500. References to directions, such as right, left, front, back, etc., are given from the operator's position while seated at the machine. Operating direction of handwheel is away from operator.

OILING

CAUTION! Oil was drained from machine when shipped, so reservoir must be filled before beginning to operate. Oil capacity of Class 39500 is six ounces. A straight mineral oil of a Saybolt viscosity of 200 to 250 seconds at 100^ Fahrenheit should be used.

OILING (Continued)

Machine is filled with oil at spring cap in top cover. Oil level is checked at sight gauge on front of machine. Red bulb on oil level indicator should show between gauge lines when machine is stationary.

Machine is automatically lubricated. No oiling is necessary, other than keeping main reservoir filled. Check oil daily before the morning start; add oil as required.

The oil drain plug screw is located at back of machine near bottom edge of base. It is a magnetic screw designed to accumulate possible foreign materials which may have entered the crank case. It should be removed and cleaned periodically.

NEEDLES

Each Union Special needle has both type and size number. The type number denotes the kind of shank, point, length, groove, finish and other details. The size number, stamped on the needle shank, denotes largest diameter of blade, measured in thousandths of an inch, midway between shank and eye. Collectively, type and size number represent the complete symbol which is given on the label of all needles packaged and sold by Union Special.

Class 39500 machines use a curved blade needle. The standard needle for Style 39500 JK is Type 154 GAS; while the standard needle for Style 39500 JL is Type 154 GCS. Below are the type numbers, description and sizes available of the recommended needles.

Type No.
Description and Sizes

154 GAS	Round shank, round point, curved blade, standard length, single groove, struck groove, spotted, chromium plated and is available in sizes 022, 025, 027, 029, 032, 036, 040, 044, 049, 054.
154 GCS	Slabbed shank, round point, .046 inch double slab, curved blade, standard length, double groove, struck groove, spotted, chromium plated and is available in sizes 022, 025, 027, 029, 032, 040.

To have needle orders promptly and accurately filled, an empty package, a sample needle, or the type and size number should be forwarded. Use description on label. A complete order would read: "1000 Needles, Type 154 GAS, Size 027".

Selection of proper needle size is determined by size of thread used. Thread should pass freely through needle eye in order to produce a good stitch formation.

Success in the operation of Union Special machines can be secured only by use of needles packaged under our brand name, UnionSpecial, which is backed by a reputation for producing highest quality needles in materials and workmanship for more than three-quarters of a century.

CHANGING NEEDLES

Release pressure on presser foot by turning presser foot release bushing (AG, Fig. 1 or 1A) and swing presser arm (U) out of position. Turn handwheel in operating direction until needle is at its lowest point of travel. Using hexagonal socket wrench No. 21388 AU, furnished with machine, loosen needle clamp nut about 1/4 turn. Again turn handwheel until needle is at high position. Withdraw needle.

CHANGING NEEDLES (Continued)

To replace needle, leave needle holder at high position and, with the flat to the left, insert needle in holder until it rests against stop pin. Keeping needle in this position, turn handwheel until holder is again at its low point of travel; then tighten nut. Return presser arm (U) to position; re-lock presser foot release bushing (AG).

THREAD STAND

After thread comes from cones on cone support (A, Fig. 1 or 1A) it is brought up through the back hole of thread eyelet (B), then down through the front hole of thread eyelet. Next it is threaded through the upper hole of tension thread guide (C) from front to back and then through the lower hole from back to front.

NOTE: The lower looper thread on Style 39500 JK and the right needle thread on Style 39500 JL are threaded through the tension thread guide (C), first through the upper hole from back to front, second through the middle hole from front to back, and third through the lower hole back to front.

All threads then continue between the tension discs (J), through tension post slot (K) in tension post (G) and on through front thread guide (M).

THREADING

Only parts involved in threading are shown in threading diagram (Fig. 1 and 1A). Parts are placed in their relative positions for clarity.

It will simplify threading Style 39500 JK to follow recommended sequence of threading lower looper first, upper looper second, and needle third.

On Style 39500 JL follow the recommended sequence of threading the upper looper first, the right needle second and the left needle third. Complete the full threading of one before proceeding to the next one.

Before beginning to thread, swing cloth plate open, turn handwheel in operating direction until needle (X) is at high position. Release pressure on presser foot by turning presser foot release bushing (AG), and swing presser arm (U) out of position.

Be sure the threads, as they come from the tension thread guide (C) are between tension discs (J) and in tension post slot (K) in tension post (G). The tension posts should be positioned so the tension post slot will be at the approximate angle for the different threads as indicated in Fig. 1 and 1A.

TO THREAD LOWER LOOPER (39500 JK only)

Thread lower looper thread through right eyelet of front thread guide (M). Then double end of thread and lead it through both eyes of lower looper thread eyelet (R, Fig. 1) from right to left. Note: thread must pass in front of looper thread pull-off (AF). Lead thread behind fabric guard (S) and through eyelet hole of frame looper thread guide (T). Turn handwheel in operating direction until heel of lower looper (V) is all the way to the left; then thread through both eyes from left to right. Left eye of lower looper can be threaded easily if tweezers are in left hand.

TO THREAD UPPER LOOPER

Thread upper looper thread through left eyelet of front thread guide (M, Fig. 1 or 1A). Turn handwheel until point of upper looper (W) is all the way left. Lead

TO THREAD UPPER LOOPER (Continued)

thread through auxiliary looper thread eyelet (P) from back to front, then through both eyes of upper looper thread eyelet (N) from left to right. NOTE: Thread must pass in front of looper thread pull-off (AF). After pulling up upper looper thread tube assembly (AA), lead the thread under neck of top cover casting and down through thread tube assembly (AA). Pull thread out bottom of tube, push tube down, and then insert thread through upper looper eye from front to back.

CAUTION! Be sure upper looper thread is under the needle threads when passing from tube assembly to upper looper eye.

TO THREAD THE NEEDLE (39500 JK only)

Thread needle thread through middle eyelet of front thread guide (M). Then turn handwheel in operating direction until needle (X, Fig. 1) is at its highest position. Insert needle thread from right to left, through both eyes of needle thread eyelet (AD), under neck of top cover casting; then down through hole in top cover needle thread eyelet (AC). Thread needle from front.

TO THREAD NEEDLES (39500 JL only)

Thread the right needle thread through the right eyelet of front thread guide (M, Fig. 1A) and thread the left needle thread through the middle eyelet of front thread guide. Then turn handwheel in operating direction until needles (X) are at their highest position. Insert both needle threads from right to left, through BOTH eyes of needle thread eyelet (AD), under neck of top cover casting and then down through holes in top cover needle thread eyelet (AC). The right needle thread should be threaded in the right hole and the left needle thread through the left hole of the top cover needle thread eyelet. Thread needles from the front.

THREAD TENSION

The amount of tension on needle and looper threads is regulated by the tension nuts (D, Fig. 1 and 1A). Tension on threads should be only enough to secure proper stitch formation.

PRESSER FOOT PRESSURE

Sufficient presser foot pressure to feed work uniformly should be maintained. Should it be necessary to increase or decrease amount of pressure on presser foot, loosen lock nut (A, Fig. 2) and turn adjusting screw (B). Adjusting screw has a right hand thread so tightening increases pressure, loosening decreases pressure. When pressure adjusting screw (B) has been properly set, tighten lock nut (A). With presser foot resting on throat plate, position locking nut (C) so that its under surface is approximately 1/32 inch to 1/16 inch from the top surface of adjusting screw (B). Set cap (D) against locking nut (C).

FEED ECCENTRICS

Feed eccentrics used in Style 39500 JK machines have been selected to produce approximately 30 stitches per inch. On Style 39500 JL, the eccentrics have been selected to produce approximately 80 stitches per inch. It will be noted that the part number of main and differential feed eccentric is No. 39540 B-30 on Style 39500 JK. On Style 39500 JL the part number of the main feed eccentric is No. 39540 B-100, while that of the differential feed eccentric is No. 39540 B-70. Minor numbers of the part symbol indicate approximately the number of stitches obtainable when using that eccentric. Unless otherwise specified, machines will be shipped with the combination of eccentrics as outlined above.

Generally speaking, differential (right hand) feed eccentric determines number of stitches produced; main (left hand) feed eccentric is selected in relation to degree and direction of stretch of material being sewn, or type of operation.

Following stitch number feed eccentrics are available under No. 39540 B-4, -5, -6, -7, -8, -9, -10, -11, -12, -13, -14, -15, -16, -18, -20, -22, -24, -26, -28, -30, -32, -34, -36, -40, -50, -60, -70, -100. Only two eccentrics are supplied with each machine. Additional eccentrics may be ordered separately. To order an eccentric, use No. 39540 B with a minor number suffixed to indicate number of stitches desired. Example: "39540 B-30".

ASSEMBLING AND ADJUSTING SEWING PARTS

Before assembling and adjusting sewing parts, remove cloth plate, fabric guard, chip guard, upper knife assembly, lower knife holder assembly, then follow this suggested sequence:

NOTE: Adjusting instructions will pertain to all styles of machines covered in this catalog, unless otherwise specified.

SETTING THE NEEDLE

Close-up of a mechanical assembly with labeled parts (B and C), no readable text or symbols present.

Fig. 3

With throat plate assembled in position, needle should center in the front end of needle slot. When needle is at high position, the needle point should be set 1/2 inch above the throat plate (A, Fig. 3) for Style 39500 JK. For Style 39500 JL the needles points should be 7/16 inch above the throat plate. To align needle or set the height above the throat plate, move needle driving arm (B) by loosening clamp screw (C). After needle has been properly set, tighten clamp screw and remove throat plate.

If needle thread cam pull-off (A, Fig. 4) overlaps looper thread pull-off (B), separate by moving looper thread pull-off back. When retightening looper pull-off screw, be sure to take up end play in needle driving arm.

SETTING THE NEEDLE (Continued)

A B C 1/8

At this point, insert lower looper (A, Fig. 5) for Style 39500 JK or lower spreader (A, Fig. 5A) for Style 39500 JL, into bar (B). With lower looper or spreader at the left end of its stroke, set looper point 1/8 inch from center of needle (Fig. 5) or set lower spreader 1/8 inch to the left of the center-line of left needle (Fig. 5A), using looper gauge No. 21225 G-1/8. Do not have lower looper or spreader deflecting needle. Tighten nut (C). Now assemble differential (front) feed dog.

Fig. 5

SETTING THE REAR NEEDLE GUARD

Set rear needle guard (A, Fig. 6) as high as possible, without interfering with either lower looper or spreader, or movement of lower knife holder, but still in position to deflect needle forward .002-.004 inch. Screw (B) is used to set rear needle guard. Make sure there is no interference between rear needle guard and lower looper or spreader.

SETTING THE LOWER LOOPER OR SPREADER

A C B D

Now finish lower looper or spreader adjustment. As lower looper or spreader moves to the right, its point should be set into the needle scarf (A, Fig. 7) until the needle springs forward from rear guard surface another .002-.004 inch.

A B C

Fig. 5A

SETTING THE FRONT NEEDLE GUARD

Assemble front needle guard (C, Fig. 6). When lower looper is springing needle off rear needle guard, set front needle guard as close as possible to needle without touching. Screw (D) is used to adjust and set front needle guard. After this setting make sure there is no interference between needle guards and differential feed dog.

Fig. 6

SETTING THE UPPER LOOPER

Insert upper looper (A, Fig. 8) in its holder. Screw (B, Fig. 8) holds upper looper in its holder, and permits it to be pushed in or out, or turned around its shank. Insert upper looper holder into upper looper shaft, if it is not already in place. Screw (C, Fig. 8) on clamp holds the upper looper holder in the shaft. Locate upper looper in its holder so that the shank extends 1/32 to 1/16 inch beyond holder (Fig. 8).

Fig. 7

SETTING THE UPPER LOOPER (Continued)

When the upper looper is at the right end of its stroke, upper looper holder should be set to position upper looper shank back of vertical (Fig. 8).

Be sure, there is a clearance between heel of looper and casting. By adjusting looper holder in or out of upper looper shaft and by turning the looper around its shank, set upper

looper point to cross lower looper to the left of the lower looper eye or spreader with 0.002 to 0.004 clearance (Fig. 9).

Fig. 8

062 CLEARANCE

As the upper looper moves toward the top of its stroke, the heel of the upper looper should pass behind the lower looper head with 1/64 to 1/32 inch clearance. Fig. 8

Next, turn handwheel until looper is at the left end of its travel; check dimensions of upper looper point with respect to needle and throat plate (Fig. 10). If resetting is necessary, do it by moving the upper looper holder (A, Fig. 10). Figure 10 represents the dimensional setting for Style 39500 JK.

Fig. 9

NOTE: For Style 39500 JL, the settings are 5/32 inch to the left of the centerline /32 inch above the throat plate.

For example, dimension 31/64 inch is increased by turning upper looper holder counterclockwise looking from left end of machine; dimension 5/32 inch is increased by pulling upper looper holder left, out of upper looper shaft. After

these changes are made, it may be necessary to turn upper looper around its shank slightly to maintain the condition shown in Fig. 9.

5" 32 31" 64 A

Fig. 10

NOTE POSITION

Fig. 11

When the correct setting is obtained for Style 39500 JK, it can be checked quickly as follows: As upper looper is moving to the right, when upper looper eye centers on the needle, bottom of the needle eye should be about level with top surface of upper looper (Fig. 11).

NOTE: For Style 39500 JL, when the correct setting is obtained, the eye of the upper looper and right needle should align exactly, as the upper looper moves to the right.

Check setting to avoid interference between upper looper and needle on needle downstroke. If needle rubs the back of upper looper, pull looper out of its holder slightly and rotate looper a short distance counterclockwise, looking from left end of machine. Reset to maintain dimensions of Figs. 9, 10, 11.

SETTING THE FEED DOGS

Now assemble main (back) feed dog and chaining feed dog.

SETTING THE FEED DOGS (Continued)

Set all feed dogs (A, B, C, Fig. 12) so the top surfaces of teeth all lay in the same plane. This can be checked by sighting across teeth with a straight edge. Now assemble throat plate. Feed dogs should now be leveled with throat plate surface by rotating feed tilting adjusting pin (D). This pin raises or lowers the back end of both feed bars at the same time.

Technical diagram of a mechanical component with labeled parts A, B, C, D, E and directional arrows indicating motion or force.

Fig. 12

The feed dogs should be set level as the time teeth first appear above the throat plate. Screw (E) locks feed tilting adjusting pin in place. Now set feed dogs so that teeth rise about 3/64 inch above throat plate.

SETTING THE LOWER KNIFE

Replace lower knife holder assembly. Lower knife (A, Fig. 13) should be set with cutting edge flush with throat plate surface. Adjustments are made with hexagonal head screw which holds lower knife. Lower knife is spring pressed against upper knife, so no lateral adjustment is necessary when width of trim is changed.

Lower knife may be secured in any position by tightening screw (B) and locking nut (C) against support bracket. Because screw (B) also serves as latch pin for the cloth plate latch spring, it should always be locked with nut (C) even when screw is not tightened against lower knife holder.

SETTING THE UPPER KNIFE

Replace upper knife assembly. Clamp upper knife (D, Fig. 13) in position, setting nut (E) to hold clamp (F) in its most clockwise position against upper knife.

At bottom of its stroke, front cutting edge of upper knife should extend not less than 1/64 inch below cutting edge of lower knife. The chain guard(G) should be set down against the upper knife and slightly back from the cutting edge.

J C E H G F D A C B

Fig. 13

After upper knife has been set for proper width of trim, screw (H) should be tightened to lock upper knife holding block (J) in place. This will simplify resetting when upper knife is replaced.

SETTING THE STITCH LENGTH

Length of stitch is determined by the combination of feed eccentricis used. Outer (left) eccentric (A, Fig. 14) actuates main (rear) feed dog; while the inner (right) eccentric (B) actuates the differential (front) feed dog.

In assembling feed eccentricities, be sure hubs are facing each other. Be careful not to damage shaft or key. Tighten nut (C) securely.

To change feed eccentrics, remove nut (C) and washer (D) from end of shaft (E). Turn handwheel in operating direction until key slot in eccentric is toward the front. Using hooked eccentric extractor (F), supplied with machine, reach behind eccentrics as shown and withdraw eccentrics. It may be necessary to move handwheel back and forth slightly during extraction.

Technical diagram of a mechanical assembly with labeled parts A, B, C, D, and E

Fig. 14

If eccentrics are unusually tight fitting, in addition to removing nut (C) and washer (D) (Fig. 15) from shaft (E), it may be helpful to remove nut (G) and feed driving connection (H). Then continue as originally suggested.

G F B C D A H

Fig. 15

SETTING THE PRESSER FOOT

Assemble the presser foot to presser arm. With needle in high position, swing presser arm into sewing position and set the presser foot to align needle holes (front and back) and flat on throat plate. The front edge of needle hole in presser foot must be aligned with front edge of needle hole in throat plate. It is also important that the bottom of the presser foot be flat on the throat plate. If necessary, presser foot can be realigned with throat plate slots by shifting the foot lifter lever shaft (H, Fig. 16). To move the shaft, loosen collar screws (B, Fig. 16) and clamp screw (G) and then shift the foot lifter lever shaft to the left or right as required. Retighten collar screws and clamp screw.

The foot lifter lever arm (A, Fig. 16) and the collar (B) secure the shaft. Be sure the presser arm does not bind and rise when presser foot release bushing is unlocked.

Adjust lifter lever stop screw (C) so that presser foot can be raised no higher than upper looper will permit; then tighten nut (D). There should be from 1/16 to 1/8 inch free motion of foot lifter lever before the presser foot begins to rise. This adjustment should be made with screw (E) and locked with nut (F). Re-assemble the chip guard, fabric guard and cloth plate. To assemble chip guard, turn handwheel until upper knife assembly reaches its highest position.

E F A G B C D H

Fig. 16

STARTING TO OPERATE (STYLE 39500 JK).

Be sure machine is threaded according to threading diagram (Fig. 1).

With thread tensions light, set upper and lower looper thread eyelets (N and R) about horizontal and in the middle of their front to back locations.

Operate machine slowly, without presser foot in place, to make sure that chain forms and moves off the tongue freely.

Swing presser foot into position, insert materials, and sew slowly.

NEEDLE THREAD CONTROL (STYLE 39500 JK)

While sewing on material, check needle thread control as follows: About 60% of needle thread required for the stitch should be drawn on needle downstroke.

To increase thread drawn on downstroke, position needle thread eyelet (AD, Fig. 1) farther to the rear. With needle at the bottom of its stroke, position needle thread eyelet (AD), so that needle thread cam-off (AE) just contacts the needle thread.

LOWER LOOPER THREAD CONTROL (STYLE 39500 JK)

Set lower looper thread eyelet (R, Fig. 1) about horizontal and all the way forward in its slot.

Frame looper thread guide (T) should be set with its eyelet approximately 1/8 inch to the right of lower looper heel eyelet, when lower looper is at the left end of its stroke.

UPPER LOOPER THREAD CONTROL (STYLE 39500 JK)

With material under presser foot, set upper looper thread eyelet (N, Fig. 1) to rest on top of lower looper thread eyelet, (R) and back far enough so upper looper thread is a little slack when upper looper reaches the left end of its stroke.

POSITIONING THE SQUARE EDGE (STYLE 39500 JK)

Position of lower looper thread at the edge is located by balancing needle and upper looper thread tensions.

To reduce amount of lower looper thread in the stitch, or close the edge more, increase lower looper thread tension.

STARTING TO OPERATE (STYLE 39500 JL)

Be sure machine is threaded according to threading diagram (Fig. 1A). With thread tensions light, set upper looper thread eyelet (N, Fig. 1A) about horizontal and back in its front to back location. Operate machine slowly, without presser foot in place, to make sure that chain forms and moves off the tongue freely. Swing presser foot into position, insert material, and sew slowly.

NEEDLE THREAD CONTROL (STYLE 39500 JL)

Usually, all needle thread is drawn on needle down stroke. At top of needle stroke, thread should be just tight enough to feed chain off stitch tongue. Needle threads tend to pull down slightly if excessive thread is pulled on the up stroke. With needles at bottom of stroke, position needle thread eyelet (AD, Fig. 1A) so that the needle thread pull-off (AE) draws the proper amount of needle thread to satisfy the above conditions.

UPPER LOOPER THREAD CONTROL (STYLE 39500 JL)

During needle downstroke, forward stroke of looper thread pull-off (AF, Fig. 1A) will draw upper looper thread through the tension. When normal amount of looper thread is drawn, upper looper thread will have almost all slack taken up as looper thread pull-off reaches its most rearward position.

If upper looper thread has loose appearance in the seam, move the upper looper thread eyelet (N, Fig. 1A) forward slightly. If, however, the eyelet is too far forward, the looper thread will tend to break excessively--even with a minimum amount of looper thread tension applied.

CAUTION! Do not try to obtain a tight looper thread appearance on the seam by carrying high tensions.

POSITIONING THE PURL TO OBTAIN A FLAT SEAM (STYLE 39500 JL)

If the purl is at the top edge of the garment, the seam can be opened into a near butted appearance. If, however, the purl is under the edge, a less flat and tighter seam results when opened.

Moving the needle thread eyelet (AD, Fig. 1A) back causes less thread to be pulled from the cones as the needles travel to the top of their stroke and causes the purl to form more on the top of the edge. If the eyelet is moved back too far, however, the threads become slack at the top of the stroke and the chain will not feed off the throat plate tongue. With a reasonable minimum needle thread tension to insure uniformity, the needle thread eyelet should be adjusted to position the purl as desired.

THREAD TENSIONS WITH RESPECT TO STITCH (STYLE 39500 JL)

The needle threads and looper thread tensions should be set at a minimum to insure uniformity of stitch. NOTE: Tension applied to the threads at the thread stand tension disc felt (L, Fig. 1A) should only be enough to prevent the threads from becoming slack between these tension pads and the tension discs mounted on machine. All controlling tension settings to insure uniformity of stitch should be obtained by varying the tensions at the tension discs, which are mounted on the machine.
