Need Help On Pfaff 345-145

[clownzwear]

Hello all you leatherworkers!

I own a Pfaff 345 and have a few questions about it.

Im from Germany, but here nobody seems to know this machine. Even google doesn`t know much about it.

But google knows, that a few of you folks know about this machine.

So I hope I can find some information here.

My most urgent question is:

Does anybody know, how to adjust the hook-saddle? My machine is leaving out every 3. or 4. stitch. The problem is, that the hook is to far away from the needle.

I already found out, that the Pfaff 345 is similar to the Singer 153 and I already found the manual for the singer.

The two machines are allmost structurally identical, except of the one thing I need to know: How to adjust the hook saddle.

My scond question is, does anybody have a service manual for the Pfaff 345? I couldn`t find one at the internet.

The last thing I would like to have, is more information about this machine in general. The full type-number is:

345-145/1C H3SN

I hope somebody can help me out.

Thank you

Greetings from Germany

@needles:

I already found this manual, too. Usefull (in general), but what I´m looking for is more something like a service manual, with descriptions how to do adjustments and stuff.

But anyway....thanks for replying!!!

There seems to be lots of info for parts for the machine, I don't see any service manuals at all. Certainly there are some out there somewhere.

See if this site has anything helpful.

there has got to be one somewhere????? probably cunningly hidden behind the pile of rocking horse poop and in front of the jars of snake oil......was one given with the machines when new?

@needles:

I bet there was, but I got the machine used maybe one year ago. Without manual.....

Hi, I have answered your PM. I have a 345-H3 and a service manual for it. I will load it up for sharing and post the link here when its ready. This Pfaff service manual is unlike other Pfaff manuals, it has no photos or drawings. You must be an experienced sewing machine mechanic to understand the adjustments. You can always use Pfaff`s other manuals as examples, and switch the data's only. I will help you go true it if you need it. Are you sure about the the subclass numbers on your machine, I cannot find a 345-145/1C- H3 SN ; the last letters are C= type of machine, H3= subclass, S= for fabric, N= 6 mm stitch length max. The 145/1 is the equipment number that tell what kind of lower feed, feed dog and sewing attachments etc. However I can`t find that number in my papers, ask on Pfaff industrial http://www.pfaff-industrial.com/ they are very helpful there. They sent me my service/adjustment manual when I asked for it. I will send you the link true a PM, If anybody else need it please let me know.

Later
