HatoriKun Report post Posted January 20, 2018 Greetings everyone... Would any one happen too have scans of service manual for Claes 8345/43 (either rebrandet Pfaff 9345/9346, Metro Spezial 8345/8346, textima 8345/8346)? Already got the manual + part list for 8346 and part list for 8345 from Claes. So no need to link me to their homepage. Any other scans would be nice to have(nice to have, not need to have) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shoepatcher Report post Posted January 20, 2018 Contact Constabulary. He found a service manual for the Claes 8346 machine while getting me a machine. He sent me the manual but I made sure he made a copy for himself. First service manual I have seen for a Claes shoepatcher in over 30 years of working on machines. It is nice. glenn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kristian99 Report post Posted February 1, 2023 Hey there guys! if any members here are still active and have got ahold of that service manual would you be willing to share a PDF? Recently acquired the same machine but needs some work. Managed to find the operation and parts diagrams for it but no luck with service manuals. Any help would be appreciated!!

Skygypsy Report post Posted December 6, 2023 Good afternoon all, Any chance I could be able to get a copy for my 8345-20? Also does anyone know if there is a zipper foot available for Claes machines? I’m trying to replan hockey gloves and on the armoured thumb it’s hard to get close enough for the stitches to hold. TSG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shoepatcher Report post Posted December 6, 2023 Claes does make a single toe foot. Contact Claes in Germany. They can give you the name of a dealer either in the UK or Germany. You can also take and existing foot and grind one toe off. glenn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deegunn Report post Posted February 6 Hello, I have a Claes 8346-20. I am trying to locate a service manual for this machine. I just want to be able to keep it working good and it needs to be oiled and in the manual that I have there is nothing about oiling. Thanks, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
