FOREWARD

The dominating idea back of Union Special is to build the best industrial sewing machines in the world. The high speed streamlined saddle stitch machines are a pronounced achievement along these lines. All parts are made to precision gauges insuring complete interchangeability. A few of the outstanding features are:

  1. Streamlined design. Pleasing in appearance, this natural functional design provides greater stability and ruggedness, free from difficult-to-clean recesses.
  2. Simplified oiling. Automatically supplies oil to lower main shaft bearings, feed rocker and feed lift bearings.
  3. Acceleration. The machine is brought to top speed in an instant - for higher productive rates and lower costs.
  4. Push button control, for quick, easy adjustment of stitch length, with a stitch length indicator of the comparison type, using letters as a means of reference, to predetermine stitch lengths.

It is our constant aim to furnish carefully prepared information that will enable the customer to secure all possible economies and advantages from the use of UNION SPECIAL machines. The following pages contain valuable operating and adjusting data and illustrate and describe the parts for Styles in Class 100 streamlined saddle stitch machines.

Union Special representatives will be found in all manufacturing centers, ready to cooperate with you to plan and estimate requirements.

APPLICATION OF CATALOG

This catalog applies only to the standard styles of machines as listed herein. All references to directions, such as right and left, front and back, etc., are taken from the operator's position while seated at the machine. The direction of rotation of the handwheel is toward the operator.

IDENTIFICATION OF MACHINE

Each UNION SPECIAL machine carries a style number which is stamped in the name plate on the machine. Style numbers are classified as standard and special. Those which are standard have one or more letters suffixed, but never contain the letter "Z". Example: "100 LS". Style numbers containing the letter "Z" are special.

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: "100".

The serial number of the machine is stamped on the back of the column at cloth plate level.

STYLES OF MACHINES IN CLASS 100

With the exception of Styles 100 TN and 100 NTN, all the machines in Class 100 are used for producing a decorative saddle stitch. Recommended speed is 2000 R.P.M.

100 P For pick or pin point saddle stitch edging on collars and pockets of sport shirts; also for side seams of trousers and slacks. Needle travel 15/16 inch. Stitch range is 3 to 5 stitches per inch.
100 S Similar to Style 100 P, except regular saddle stitch length for edging on collars and pockets of sport shirts, side seams of trousers and slacks, and on infants' knitted wear. Needle travel 15/16 inch. Stitch range is 3 to 5 stitches per inch.
100 LS For long or giant saddle stitch edging on ladies' wear, such as dresses, fall coats, skirts, etc. Needle travel 15/16 inch. Stitch range is 2 1/3 to 3 1/2 stitches per inch.
*100 TN For necktie closing, joining tie, lining strip and band. Needle travel 1 1/32 inch. Equipped with attachment for centering lining and tape. Machine may be used with or without tape. Stitch range is 2 1/4 to 3 stitches per inch.
* NOTE: Style 100 TN was formerly known as Style 100 NTN, so any reference to Style 100 NTN would apply to Style.100 TN.

INSTALLING

Each machine, as it leaves the factory, is sewed off, inspected and carefully packed. When the machine reaches the customer, it is ready for service. Because of all the precautions taken by those who handle the machine, the customer needs only to place it in its proper position in the table and make only the ordinary settings to adapt the machine to the material he wishes to sew.

STANDARD ACCESSORIES

Included with each machine is a box of standard accessories containing one drip pan, oil drain jar and clamp spring, one knee lifter assembly and rubber pad, one spool pin, two hinge studs, one machine rest pin, two hinge plates and screws, four felt pads and necessary nails. These parts are indispensable when setting up the machine.

INSTALLING (Continued)

TABLE TOPS

Machine Styles 100 P, 100 S, 100 LS may be installed in table top No. 21371 NB-48 prepared with cut-out so that the bed plate is flush with the top of the table. Isolated mounting parts are included with the table top. For table tops not prepared for isolated mounting, use the felt pads and nails furnished with the accessories.

When assembling the hinge plates to the table tops, be sure to locate them as accurately as possible, so that the hinge studs, attached to the machine, can swing properly in the plate.

Special care should be taken that machine does not contact the sides of the cut-out at any point.

Style 100 TN is mounted on a machine base which, in turn, is screwed directly to the table top. This machine may be installed on table top No. 21371 VG-48.

KNEE PRESS

The knee press is attached to Union Special table tops at the location designated by punch marks on the underside. For other boards, locate the knee press so that the center of the shaft is 8 1/4 inches from the right side of the cut-off. The knee press assembly should appear as in (Fig. 1).

DRIP PAN

The drip pan is attached to Union Special table tops at the indentation marks on the inside of the cut-out, using the nails furnished with the accessories. For other table tops, the drip pan should be set high enough to clear the knee press and low enough to clear the bottom of the machine. It should be laterally located so that it is directly under the base of the machine.

BELTS

These machines are equipped to use either No. 1 "V" or round belt.

LUBRICATION

CAUTION!!

The oil has been drained from the main reservoir and the hook shaft gear case before shipment, and these reservoirs must be filled before starting to operate. Lubricate machine thoroughly in accordance with instructions and run slowly for several minutes to distribute the oil to the various parts. Full speed operation can then be expected without damage.

Use a straight mineral oil of a Saybolt viscosity of 90 to 125 seconds at 100° Fahrenheit in main reservoir and hook shaft gear case. This is equivalent to Union Special oil specification No. 175.

Union Special 100LS - RECOMMENDED OILS - 1

text_image FILL MAIN RESERVOIR HERE Union Special THE OIL LEVEL SHOULD BE KEPT BETWEEN RED LINES THREADING FOR 100 TN Fig. 2

LUBRICATION (Continued)

Oils conforming to specification No. 175 may also be used in the manually oiled places.

For trouble free operation, oil the machine as indicated in the diagram (Fig. 2).

With needle bar at the top of its stroke, oil the holes (A) twice daily. In oiling hole (B), very little oil should be used and only around the outer edges of the needle bar. Do not put oil into the hole in the needle bar, as it will flow out when machine is operated at high speed. A can of oil, No. 28604 R, is included with the accessories packed with the machine. It contains a sufficient quantity to fill both reservoirs. The main reservoir is filled through oil cup (C) and the supply is usually replenished about twice a month. However, the oil level should be checked from time to time and kept between the lines on the gauge (D).

The hook shaft gear case is filled at the plug screw hole (J). A quantity of oil sufficient to bring the level up to the plug screw hole, when the machine is tilted back against the rest pin, should be used. Remove plug screw and check the level of oil about every six months.

CAUTION!!

Do not use a compounded oil in the feeding drive shaft gear case or hook shaft gear case, as these oils separate and froth.

Union Special 100LS - CAUTION!! - 1

Fig. 3

Lubrication of most of the mechanism below the bed plate is automatically accomplished through the feed driving shaft which is tubular. Oil is introduced into the shaft at the gear end by means of an oil distributing plate (A, Fig. 3) which is secured to the large gear case cover (B) by means of two screws (C) and retaining block (D).

Should it ever become necessary to remove any of the parts from the gear case, it is imperative that the adjustment of the oil distributing plate be checked very carefully. This can be done by removing the large plug screw at the right end of the gear housing and looking through the hole. The low point of the oil

distributing plate must be even with or slightly below the center of shaft (E) and just touching it. This is a very important adjustment as the functioning of the automatic lubrication of the lower part of the machine depends upon it.

The hook driving mechanism, below the bed plate, is manually lubricated, and the oiling places are indicated at (H, K, L, M, N, P, and R, Fig. 2). A few drops daily at these points will be sufficient.

NEEDLES

Use only genuine UNION SPECIAL needles.

The recommended needles for these machines are Type 29-C150 or 29 DEA, eye needle, (formerly System 150) and Type 29-C151, hook needle, (formerly System 151 SU). The minor number following the Type Symbol indicates the size.

NEEDLES (Continued)

Style 100 P is set with 29-C150-5 or 5/150 eye needle and 29-C151-5 or 5/151 SU hook needle and No. 60 cotton thread. Finer needles and cotton may be used on this machine. To use heavier threads such as 40-30 cotton or 2/3 rayon twist, it is necessary to change the needle spacer to C1021 P-073 and to use 29 DEA-110/044 or 6/150 eye needle and 29-C151-6 or 6/151 SU hook needle.

Style 100 S for sportswear is set with 29 DEA-110/044 or 6/150 eye needle and 29-C151-7 or 7/151 SU hook needles and C3 saddle stitch rayon twist. For trousers, use 29 DEA-110/044 or 6/150 eye needle and 29-C151-6 or 6/151 SU hook needle with No. 50 or size A cotton. Finer needles and thread may also be used.

Style 100 LS is set with 29 DEA-140/054 or 8/150 eye needle and 29-C151-10 or 10/151 SU hook needle with size E cotton thread. Finer needles and thread may be used.

Style 100 NTN is set with 29-C150-5 or 5/150 eye needle and 29-C151-5 or 5/151 SU hook needle with size 00 mercerized.

To have orders promptly and accurately filled, an empty container, a sample needle, or the type number should be forwarded.

OPERATOR'S INSTRUCTIONS

INSERTING THE NEEDLES

Insert the needles in the needle bar as far as they will go, with the spots or scarfs to the right, and with the eye needle in the rear hole and the hook needle in the front.

THREADING

Thread machine in accordance with threading diagram (Fig. 2).

The main diagram illustrates the threading for Styles 100 P, 100 S and 100 LS. The insert illustrates the difference between the threading of Style 100 NTN and the other styles.

Please note that on Style 100 NTN, when fine nylon (Z15 size) or fine cotton (2/0 size) threads are used, the threading of the check spring and take-up lever is omitted.

OPERATOR'S INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)

NEEDLE THREAD TENSION

The needle thread tension is varied by turning the tension regulating nut (E, Fig. 2). Turning the nut in a clockwise direction increases the tension and counterclockwise decreases the tension. This should not be done when the presser foot is in its raised position, and is generally done while the machine is sewing on a piece of scrap material.

LENGTH OF STITCH

The showing stitch remains the same, but the space between the stitches changes when setting for a longer or shorter stitch. The total length of stitch can be set from approximately 3 to 10 stitches per inch on Styles 100 P, 100 S, 100 LS, and from approximately 2 1/3 to 10 stitches per inch on Style 100 NTN. Most tie manufacturers, however, prefer the maximum stitch length.

TO CHANGE THE STITCH LENGTH

Press plunger (F, Fig. 2) in firmly. While holding plunger in, turn handwheel in operating direction until stitch regulating finger is felt to drop into the slot of feed eccentric. Continuing to hold the plunger in, turn handwheel in operating direction to increase the stitch length and in opposite direction to decrease the stitch length.

Comparative stitch lengths are indicated by the graduations on the dial (G) in bed plate, ranging from S (short) to L (long). Release the plunger.

The stitch regulating plunger may be locked at any setting by means of the locking screw located on the underside of the bed plate lip directly below the plunger.

PRESSURE ON MATERIAL

The presser spring should exert only enough pressure to make the work feed uniformly. To increase the pressure on the presser foot, turn the presser spring regulator (A, Fig. 4) in clockwise direction. Turning the regulator counterclockwise decreases the pressure.

OPERATING STYLE 100 NTN

Raise the presser foot on the machine with the knee lifter. Then, draw the tie lining into the stretching device (A, Fig. 5) through the lining guide (B) and under

the presser foot, placing the edge of the lining against the ruler edge guide (C) with the end of the lining located at whichever number you choose to use as a starting point.

A tape slot (D) is provided in the plate, for the tape which is drawn in simultaneously with the tie lining. Its use is optional. Many operators work with the tie linings draped across their right knee. If this method is used, the lining should be inserted under the angular guide (F). If the operator prefers to let the tie linings hang straight down, the angular guide (F) should be removed.

The tie is now placed under the presser foot and against the adjustable tie gauge (E). Tie and lining are now sewn together the entire length.

OPERATOR'S INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)

OPERATING STYLE 100 NTN (Continued)

To remove the tie, be sure the needles are up and have just started their downward travel. Then, raise the presser foot with the knee lifter. With the left hand, draw the tie at least 1 inch to the rear to pull off thread. Then, break the thread by snapping the tie to the rear left.

Union Special 100LS - OPERATOR'S INSTRUCTIONS (Continued) - 1

text_image Technical diagram of a sewing machine with labeled parts A through F, showing internal components and assembly lines.

Fig. 5

The forward portion of the slot in the presser foot has a knife edge so that threads which will not break by the above method may be readily cut. When using nylon or heavier threads, proceed as outlined above, then, draw tie to the left, lowering the presser foot at the same time to sever threads.

The ruler edge guide (C) can be moved to the left or right to center the lining so that the stitching will be in the center of the lining. The marks on ruler edge guide (C) are used for locating the starting position on lining and tie.

The lining stretching device (A) has an adjustable tension. If the lining is puckering, more tension is required on the stretching device (A). Light weight linings require less tension than heavy weight linings. Linings must be cut on the bias. When the stitching is not centered on the tie lining, it may be necessary to move the lining stretching device (A) to the left or right of center line.

MECHANIC'S INSTRUCTIONS

SETTING THE NEEDLE BAR TO HEIGHT

The lower needle bar bushing, the one to which the needle bar is timed, is set at the factory. The distance from the bottom of the bushing to the throat plate seat is 2.298 (2 19/64) inches (Fig. 6).

Union Special 100LS - SETTING THE NEEDLE BAR TO HEIGHT - 1

text_image A 22598

Fig. 6

When the needle bar is in its lowest position, the upper timing line on the needle bar should be even with the lower edge of the needle bar bushing. To change the position of the needle bar, turn the handwheel in operating direction until the needle bar is in its lowest position, then, loosen the clamp screw (A) and move the bar to the proper timing line. Insert a pin in the 3/64 inch hole between the timing lines and turn the needle bar 3 to 5 degrees to left of the line of feed on 100 P and 100 NTN machines, 2 to 3 degrees on 100 S machine, and 1 degree on 100 LS machine.

FEED DOG HEIGHT

In regulating the height of the feed dog, it should be at its highest position and the presser foot resting directly against it. Feed dog should show the depth of a full tooth above the throat plate.

The feed dog holder attaching screw (A, Fig. 7) should be loosened slightly, and regulat-

ing screw (B) should be turned either clockwise to raise the feed dog, or counterclockwise to lower it. Make sure that the bottom of the shank of the feed dog holder rests against the head of the regulating screw.

PRESSER FOOT HEIGHT

With the feed dog at the bottom of its stroke, set the presser foot height so that there is 1/4 inch space between the bottom of the presser foot and the top of the throat plate when the presser foot lifter lever is at its highest position.

To make this adjustment, loosen screw (D, Fig. 8), and with the hand lifter (B) in its up position, move the presser bar to secure the desired height of foot and re-tighten screw (D). When the above adjustment is made, care must be taken that the needles are centered in the presser foot needle slot.

PRESSER BAR CONNECTION

The presser bar connection (A, Fig. 8) should be set so that it is 1/16 inch from the hand lifter (B) at all times.

MECHANIC'S INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)

PRESSER BAR CONNECTION (Continued)

This is accomplished by turning the machine over on its side, loosening lock nut (G, Fig. 9) and relocating the stop screw (E) on the lifter lever bell crank (F). By turning the stop screw counterclockwise, the presser bar connection is brought closer to the hand lifter. Turn the stop screw to secure desired 1/16 inch space. Tighten lock nut (G) to lock screw in position.

PRESSER BAR GUIDE

When locating the presser bar guide (C, Fig. 8), the presser foot must rest directly against the throat plate with the feed dog in its lowest position.

The guide is properly set when there is a 1/16 inch space between presser bar guide and the connection.

Union Special 100LS - PRESSER BAR GUIDE - 1

To obtain this setting, loosen set screw(D) in the guide and insert screw driver between the connection

and the guide. Tap on presser foot to insure its being down on the throat plate, center the foot by turning it so that needle enters the middle of its slot and re-tighten screw (D) in guide.

THREAD CONTROL

Union Special 100LS - THREAD CONTROL - 1

text_image C B E A D

Fig. 10

Test check spring tension (A, Fig. 10). There should be enough tension to insure a good returning snap when spring is depressed and released. Should it require adjusting, loosen set screw in the head on right side of tension post (G, Fig. 12) and remove tension post assembly. Partially loosen tension post set screw (B, Fig. 10) in tension post socket (C). Holding the socket in the left hand, turn the tension post (D) counterclockwise with the right hand until the check spring moves away from the upper stop (E) and has no tension on it. Turn the tension post (D) in a clockwise direction until the spring again touches the upper stop (E). Then, proceed further in the same direction until the desired tension is obtained. When correctly set, the tension post set screw (B) should be drawn up snugly, but not forcefully. Further adjustment of the check spring tension can be made by inserting a screw driver into the slotted end of the tension post (D) and turning in the required direction.

Replace tension assembly with the check spring about 3/8 inch above the thread take-up wire. While the tension post assembly is being replaced, the presser foot should be resting on the throat plate.

The frame take-up eyelet (A, Fig. 11) should be set at its highest position.

For the final setting of check spring, sew slowly on a piece of material and observe the action of the check spring. The spring should have completed its travel and rest against its stop as the needle bar reaches the bottom of its stroke.

MECHANIC'S INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)

LOCATING TENSION RELEASE MECHANISM

The tension assembly should be located in bed from front to back, so that when the presser foot is raised to its highest position, the tension discs (F, Fig. 12) are

opened just enough to allow the thread to pass through the discs freely.

Union Special 100LS - LOCATING TENSION RELEASE MECHANISM - 1

text_image Technical diagram showing mechanical assembly with labeled parts H, G, J, and F

Fig. 12

To position the tension assembly, see that set screw in bed (G, Fig. 12) is loose and tension assembly adjusting screw (B, Fig. 11) is screwed down to the bed.

Lift the presser foot hand lifter to its highest position. With the left hand, grasp the thread and pull it through the tensions, with the right hand, push tension post deeper into the machine until release pin (H, Fig. 12) pressing against the presser bar connection (J) has opened the tension discs just enough to allow the thread to pull through freely.

Re-tighten set screw (G), turn tension assembly adjusting screw (B, Fig. 11) counterclockwise until it contacts the flange of the tension post socket.

SETTING THE HOOK ON THE CARRIER

Set the hook high on the carrier and tilt backwards as far as it will go. Use screws (A, Fig. 13) to make this adjustment. Care must be taken that the hook point does not contact the bottom of the plunger after making this adjustment.

TIMING THE HOOK

Turn handwheel in operating direction until the needle bar has started to rise from its lowest position and the

Union Special 100LS - TIMING THE HOOK - 1

text_image Technical diagram of a mechanical assembly with labeled parts A and B

Fig. 14

timing line (A, Fig. 14) at bottom of 3/64 inch hole is even with the bottom of the lower needle bar bushing. At this time, the point of the sewing hook (B) should be even with the centerline of the eye needle on the 100 P and 100 NTN machines, centered between the eye needle and the hook needle on the 100 S machine and 1/16 inch past the eye needle in its direction of travel on the 100 LS machine. The above adjustment may be made by loosening the three screws (E, Fig. 16) in the hook driving barrel and rotating the barrel until the above condition is satisfied.

Set the hook point as close as possible to the eye needle without contacting it on the 100 P, 100 S, 100 NTN machines. - The 100 LS machine will require a .003 to .005 inch space between the sewing hook point and the scarf of the eye needle.

Fig. 13

MECHANIC'S INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)

TIMING THE HOOK (Continued)

This is done by loosening the Allen screw located in the lower bracket. Move the sewing hook shaft bushing (D, Fig. 16) either to the left or right to locate the sewing hook properly. Re-tighten the Allen screw.

TIMING THE PLUNGER

The plunger should pass midway between both needles on Styles 100 P and 100 NTN. On Style 100 S, the plunger should be .010 inch from the hook needle. On Style 100 LS, the plunger should be .005 inch from the hook needle. Loosen the plunger block holder screw (B, Fig. 13) and move the block in the required direction to make this adjustment.

Set the plunger so that the vertical portion (A, Fig. 15) extends 3/64 inch beyond the left side of needles at its farthest point of travel to the left.

This adjustment is made by loosening clamp screw (B) and turning slotted shaft (C) in the required direction.

STITCH FORMATION

Place cloth under foot and thread machine. Lay machine on its side and turn handwheel in operating direction and observe how the thread is carried between the needles into the hook needle by the plunger. As the thread is released by the sewing hook and plunger, it is drawn up by the take-up, and the feed motion completes the stitch. Any burr or sharp groove on the plunger or sewing hook must be removed. To turn cloth at desired corner or point, lower hook needle until the point is 1/16 inch above cloth. Raise presser foot and make turn.

HOOK CARRIER BRACKET

Should it become necessary to replace either the hook carrier bracket (A, Fig. 16) or the shim gasket (B) for it, it is extremely important that the proper distance between the hook barrel (C) and hook carrier bushing (D) be maintained. Use a micrometer to check this dimension as shown at "X" in Fig. 16. On Styles 100 P, 100 S, and 100 NTN, this dimension is 1.375 inch plus .005 inch and on Style 100 LS, it is 1.400 inch plus .005 inch.

In order to achieve this adjustment, it will be necessary to select shim gaskets of the proper thickness to use between the hook carrier bracket (A) and the bed casting.

On Styles 100 P, 100 S, and 100 NTN, at least one shim gasket must be used, and on Style 100 LS, at least one gasket on each side of the spacing plate must be used to prevent oil leakage.

Refer to parts list in back of book for shim gasket part numbers and thicknesses.

MECHANIC'S INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)

FEED TIMING

This timing is the relationship which exists between the feed dog and the needle bar motions.

Set the stitch regulator for the longest stitch. Set the feed dog to show the depth of a full tooth above the throat plate. Turn handwheel in operating direction until the bottom of the descending needle eye is even with the top surface of the throat plate. When the needle bar is in this position, the top of the feed dog teeth should be even with the top surface of the throat plate. A simple method of advancing or retarding the feed timing is provided in the head of the machine. Loosen the two screws holding the counterweight to the segment plate (A, Fig. 17) and the two screws (B) holding the counterweight to the main shaft. Hold the handwheel and turn the counterweight in a clockwise direction to retard the feed, and in a counterclockwise direction to advance the feed. Be sure to re-tighten all four screws securely, making certain that the counterweight does not slip. Any time the feed timing is changed, it is necessary to retime the hook.

Fig. 17

MACHINE TIMING

If at any time the machine is disassembled, the machine will have to be retimed as follows:

  1. Lay machine on its side on the bench.
  2. Remove the large gear housing cover. Note: Caution should be observed that machine is tilted far enough back so oil will not leak out. Also, be careful in removing the housing cover that the gasket is not mutilated.
  3. Loosen screws (B, Fig. 18) and slide gear (A) to the extreme right so it is out of mesh with the idler gear (D).
  4. Looking through the stitch length indicator window on the top of the bed plate, rotate the lower main

shaft (C) in the operating direction until the timing mark "T" appears between the pointers of the indicator window. Then, rotate upper main shaft in the operating direction until the needle bar reaches its highest position and descends 1/64 inch on Styles 100 P, 100 S, and 100 NTN and 1/16 inch on Style 100 LS. Carefully turn gear (A) without disturbing the lower main shaft setting until the set screw lies directly above the flat in the lower main shaft. The gears should then be engaged as closely as possible in this position. While holding the gear and thrust collar (E) tightly between thumb and forefinger, tighten set screw against flat in shaft securely, then, tighten the second set screw and check to see that there is no play in the shaft, and that the machine revolves freely.

  1. Clean, dry and re-seal gasket and housing cover using gasket cement.

USEFUL SUGGESTIONS

If the machine fails to work satisfactorily, though apparently in good repair, it is possible that some minor trouble exists. For this reason, delay may be avoided by acting on the following:

  1. See that the needles are set properly; that they are the recommended needles; that they are straight and free from nicks and rough places; that they are inserted in the needle bar as far up as they will go; and that there is clearance all around needles as they enter the throat plate.
  2. See that the machine is threaded correctly and the needle thread is delivered to the machine properly.
  3. See that the proper tension is applied to the thread.
  4. See that the presser foot is set so that the needle does not strike it.
  5. See that the feed dog is not striking the hook or throat plate.
  6. Take off throat plate and remove accumulated lint from feed dog slots and hook.
  7. See that there are no nicks or cuts in the wall of the throat plate needle hole. String out this hole with fine emery cord or cloth.
  8. See that the take-up spring acts freely, is not grooved or nicked. Remove any gummy oil and dirt around tension discs.
  9. See that the point of the hook is not blunted, broken or nicked.
  10. See that the hook is timed correctly.
  11. See that the feed is timed correctly.
  12. See that the plunger is set correctly.
  13. See that all screws are tight.

ORDERING REPAIR PARTS

ILLUSTRATIONS

This catalog has been so arranged as to simplify the ordering of repair parts. Exploded views of the various sections of the mechanism are shown so that the parts may be seen in their actual position in the machine. On the page opposite the illustration will be found the listing of the parts with their part numbers, descriptions and the number of pieces required in the particular view being shown.

The numbers in the first column are reference numbers only and indicate the position of the part in the illustration. The reference number should never be used in ordering parts. Always use the part number shown in the second column.

Those component parts of sub-assemblies which can be furnished for repairs are indicated by the fact that their descriptions are indented under the descriptions of the main sub-assembly. Example:

4561149Stitch Length Indicator1
4695Set Screw1
4796Time Spot Screw1

In those cases where the parts for the various styles in Class 100 are not the same, the difference will be shown in the illustrations and descriptions. When a part is used in all machines covered by this catalog, no machine style will be mentioned.

At the back of the book will be found a numerical index of all the parts shown in this book, which will facilitate locating the illustration when only the part number is known.

Union Special Wants to Help You Cut Sewing Machine Maintenance Costs

Union Special is offering two practical systems to help pinpoint and reduce your sewing machine maintenance costs: a record keeping system to help spot machines requiring abnormally high maintenance, and a parts inventory system to speed routine repairs. Machine Maintenance Records

Repair-prone machines or inexperienced competent operators can eat up your maintenance dollars in short order. To help spot these problems, Union Special suggests two variations of a simple maintenance record keeping system using cards provided by Union Special.

The first system utilizes a "Machine Maintenance Record" card (Form 237) for each sewing machine in a plant. When a repair is required, the card is pulled from the file and the repair date, parts used, and their cost are entered in the spaces provided and the card is refilled.

The second system is normally used when more detailed information on repair costs is desired. Two record cards are used: a "Repair Request Card" (Form 234), and a "Machine Repair Record" (Form 233). When a machine requires service, the forelady or foreman fills out the top of a "Repair Request Card" and gives it to a mechanic. He fills in the time the repair work is started, the parts used and their cost,

and the completion time. This data is then transferred to the permanent "Machine Repair Record" kept in the office.

Whichever system is used, management now has an invaluable tool to reduce needless maintenance costs.

Repair Part Inventories

While record keeping tells management which machines require abnormally high maintenance, it does little to help reduce the downtime caused by routine repairs. To alleviate this situation, Union Special recommends that manufacturers establish a formal parts inventory system for each type of sewing machine they operate.

Excessive machine downtime and wasted hours by mechanics can be eliminated with an orderly in-plant inventory of the most commonly needed parts. There is no longer a need to cannibalize other machines for spare parts. Long waits for deliveries are avoided and machine downtime is kept to a minimum. The cost of a parts inventory is small when the overall savings are considered.
