Never leave the motor running while away from the machine.! 9. Always switch off the motor before changing needles or adjusting your CB3200/CB105.! 10. Do not let children operate the CB3200/ CB105. 1. Lubricate the machine before operating!! 2. Use only with correct voltage.! 3. Confirm the machine and motor are turning over in a counter-clockwise rotation.! 4. Your CB3200/CB105 machine is normally set up with a speed reducer/ transmission to control your stitching speeds and to add additional torque to drive the needle into heavy leathers and fabrics at low operating speeds.! 5. After operating the machine for more than 30 days, if desired, the top stitching speed may be increased to a maximum speed of 800 rpm. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! 4 Maintenance and User Guide 1. Cleaning   Normal  operation  causes  dust,  lint,  and  dirt  to  build  up  around  the  moving  parts   of  your  CB3200/CB105.  Periodically  clean  around  all  the  moving  parts  of  the   machine.  Pay  special  attention  to  keeping  the  shuttle,  shuttle  race,  and  throat  plate   area  clean.    Use  compressed  air  or  a  cloth  or  small  brush  to  clean  off  any  debris.   ! 2. Lubrication Your  new  Cowboy  CB3200/CB105  was  lubricated  at  our  factory;  however  re-­‐ lubricate  before  using  it.    Use  gun  oil  or  high  quality  machine  oil  -­‐  not  WD  40.    The   CB3200/CB105  requires  lubrication  in  all  holes  painted  red  (see  arrows  in  Fig  2-­‐1   and  Fig  2-­‐2)  on  a  regular  basis.    After  oiling  the  red  painted  holes,  remove  cover   plates  2,  6,  7,  8    and  9  as  shown  on  page  16  and  do  a  light  aerosol  spray  of  cine  gun   oil.  Leave  it  over  night  so  the  next  work  day  any  excess  oil  along  with  dirt  and  lint   can  be  wiped  off  before  use.  Cowboy  recommends  that  the  machine  be  oiled  about   every  7  to  12  hours  of  actual  usage  with  the  best  time  to  oil  the  machine  at  the  end   of  the  day.
 Fig  2-­‐2 Fig  2-­‐1 3. How to Install the Needle Fig  3-­‐1 SWITCH  OFF  THE  MOTOR  BEFORE  REMOVING  OR  INSERTING  THE   NEEDLE  (Figure  3-­‐1)   For  leather  use  size:  794  D,  794  S,  794  LR   For  Canvas,  Nylon  and  fabrics:  use  size  794  or  7X3   1.Turn  the  hand  wheel  counter-­‐clockwise  and  raise  the  needle  bar   to  its  highest  position.   2.Loosen  the  needle  set  screw  (1)  remove  the  old  needle  and   insert  a  new  needle  (2)  into  the  needle  bar.  Push  it  up  into  the   hole  as  far  as  it  will  go.   3.Remember  to  locate  the  needle  scarf  (A)  towards  the  hand   wheel  and  the  long  groove  of  the  needle  to  the  left  side.   4.Securely  tighten  the  needle  set  screw  (1).
 5 ! 4. How to Take Out the Bobbin 1. Turn  the  hand  wheel  on  the  machine  counter-­‐clockwise  until  the  needle  reaches  its  lowest   position.   2. Place  your  open  left  hand  under  the  shuttle  area  to  catch  the  bobbin.   3. Depress  the  retaining  latch  (1)  (Fig  4-­‐1)  to  open  the  bobbin  case.   4. The  old  bobbin  will  drop  out  of  the  case  into  your  open  hand  (Fig  4-­‐2).   ! 5. How to use the Bobbin Winder   The   bobbin   winder   is   to   be   mounted   as   shown   using   screws   shown   at   (G)   (Fig.   5-­‐1).     The   winder  should  be  mounted  in  the  open  position  1/4”  in  front  of  the  drive  belt.    The  slots  in  the   bobbin  winder  allow  forward  and  back  adjustment  for  cinding  the  correct  pressure  to  engage  the   belt  for  running  the  winder.    The  latch  (A)  shows  spindle  (B)  in  Fig  5-­‐1  engaged  to  the  motor  belt.     ! ! Threading  the  Bobbin  Winder   1.  Mount  the  bobbin  to  the  spindle  bar  on  the         Fig    5-­‐1 ! bobbin  winder  making  sure  to  engage  the  inside   hole  of  the  bobbin  to  the  little  pin  on  the  spindle   face  (B).       2.  Run  the  thread  through  the  outside  of  hole  (D)   of  the  bobbin  winder.     3.  Run  thread  under  and  between  the  tension   discs  of  the  thread  guide  (E)  one  turn  in  a  counter   clockwise  direction  and  over  the  bridge  (F).   4.  Run  the  thread  through  the  small  hole  from  the   inside  to  the  outside  of  the  bobbin  leaving  a  3”-­‐4”   tail.    Cut  this  off  after  the  bobbin  is  wound.     5.  Press  lever  (A)  of  the  bobbin  winder  to  engage   the  drive  belt.     6. Remove  the  thread  from  the  needle  and  depress  the  motor  pedal  to  start            winding  the  thread  until  the  bobbin  is  fully  loaded.       6            6. How to Install the Bobbin Fig  6-­‐1   Fig  6-­‐2   1. Hold  the  bobbin  between  the  thumb  and  index  cinger.    Pull  approximately   3-­‐4”  of  thread  off  the  bobbin.    The  bobbin  should  spin  counter-­‐clockwise  from  this  position.     If  it  does  not  then  simply  turn  the  bobbin  around  in  your  cingers  and  it  will  be  oriented   properly.   2. Pass  the  thread  through  the  slot  (A)of  the  bobbin  case  (see  Fig  6-­‐2)  and  pull  the  thread  until   the  thread  passes  under  the  bobbin  thread  tension  adjusting  spring  and  rests  in  the  groove   on  the  tension  adjusting  spring  (Fig  6-­‐1).   3. Leave  at  least  3  to  5”  of  thread  remaining  and  hanging  out  beyond  the  bobbin  case.   4. Make  sure  the  sewing  machine  needle  is  threaded.    Holding  the  top  thread  of  the  needle  taut   and  off  to  the  right  hand  side  at  about  the  2  o'clock  position,  turn  the  top  of  the  hand  wheel   toward  the  operator  one  revolution  allowing  the  needle  to  go  all  the  way  down  and  all  the   way  back  up.    This  will  pull  the  bobbin  thread  up  through  the  needle  plate.    The  machine  is   now  ready  to  sew.
 7. How to Thread the CB3200/CB105   1.    Place  a  spool  of  thread  on  the  Thread  Stand.   2.    Pull  the  thread  through  the  eyelet  on  the  Thread  Stand   arm.   Fig    7-­‐1 3.  Pass  the  thread  through  one  of  the  holes  of  the  chrome  post   on  the  top  arm  of  the  CB3200/CB105  (A)(Fig  7-­‐1).   G 4.  Pass  the  thread  through  the  eyelet  (B),  and  pull  the  thread   over  the  top  of  the  tension  disks  (C)  and  down  between  them.   5.  Continue  the  thread  down  behind  the  primary  tension   disks  (D)  and  loop  counter-­‐clockwise  with  1  1/2  turns   bringing  it  from  the  inside  over  the  bar  (E)  then  through  the   eyelet  (F)  up  to  and  through  the  eye  on  the  “take-­‐up   lever”  (G).   6.    From  (G)  go  through  the  eyelet  at  (H).   7.    Make  sure  the  needle  is  in  its  uppermost  position.   8.    Pass  the  thread  through  the  small  hole  in  the  black  collar   where  the  needle  attaches  to  the  needle  bar.   9.    Thread  the  eye  of  the  needle  from  left  to  right.   10.    Thread  the  hole  in  the  inside  presser  foot  (I)  which  the   needle  passes  through  as  the  machine  sews.   11.    Pull  6  inches  of  thread  through  the  eye  of  the  needle.   12.    Hold  the  needle  thread  off  to  the  right  at  the  2  o’clock  position.  Rotate  the  top  of  the   hand  wheel  toward  the  operator  one  full  revolution  to  pick  up  the  bobbin  thread  and  pull  6   inches  of  thread  out  of  the  bobbin.      The  CB3200/CB105  is  now  ready  to  sew.
 7 8. Adjusting the Stitch Length and Reverse Stitching !! !! !!   ! !   Fig    8-­‐1 Fig    8-­‐2 ! To adjust the stitch length: !   1.      Turn  the  adjuster  nut  (A)  (Fig  8-­‐2)  counter  clockwise  and  push  the  handle  in  a  downward   direction  for  a  longer  stitch  length.   2.      Turn  the  adjuster  nut  (A)  (Fig  8-­‐2)  clockwise  and  lift  the  handle  upward  for  a  shorter  stitch   length.   3.      A  zero  stitch  length  is  in  the  middle  of  the  slot.  The  longest  stitch  length  is  at  the  bottom  of  the   slot.   4.      Pull  the  handle  upwards  to  stitch  in  reverse.  When  the  forward  stitch  length  and  the  adjuster   nut  are  set  correctly,  the  machine  will  sew  in  an  equal  distant  reverse  stitch  length.   5.      To  correctly  back  stitch  on  the  same  needle  penetration  holes;  stop  the  machine  with  the   needle  down,  then  raise  the  needle  approximately  ¼”  upwards,  pull  the  reverse  handle  all  the   way  up,  then  make  several  stitches  in  reverse.   6.      To  sew  forward,  push  the  handle  all  the  way  down  and  sew.   7. Examples  of  stitch  lengths  (Fig  8-­‐1).    Note  these  examples  are  thru  two  to  four  thicknesses  of   7-­‐8  oz.  leathers.        9. How to Adjust Thread Tension Adjusting  the  needle  thread  tension:   a. Turn  the  nut  on  the  end  of  the  aux.  tension  shaft  (1)  (Fig.   9-­‐1)in  a  clockwise  direction  to  increase  thread  tension  in   small  amounts  (A)  (Fig.  9-­‐1).   b. Rotate  the  nut  counter-­‐clockwise  to  decrease  the  thread   tension  (B)  (Fig.  9-­‐1).   c. For  a  greater  amount  of  thread  tension,  rotate  the  nut   on  the  main  tension  device  (Fig  9-­‐3)  in  a  clockwise   direction.  To  loosen,  rotate  the  nut  counter-­‐clockwise.   If  you  have  thread  loops  on  the  bottom  side  of  your  work,   tighten  the  main  tension  (Fig.  9-­‐3).  If  the  thread  knot  is  on  the   top  side  of  the  work,  loosen  the  main  tension.    For  minor   adjustments,  adjust  with  the  Aux.  tension.
 8 Fig  9-­‐1 Fig    9-­‐2 ! ! ! ! !   Fig    9-­‐3 ! Adjusting The Bobbin Thread Tension:   A.    Loosen  the  locking  set  screw  (1)  (Fig.  9-­‐2)  with  a   small  screw  driver.   B.    Turn  the  spring  tension  adjusting  screw  (2)   clockwise  for  a  greater  thread  tension.   C.  Turn  the  adjusting  screw  (2)  counter-­‐clockwise  to   decrease  the  thread  tension.    Normally  one  does  not   need  to  re-­‐adjust  the  bobbin  case  thread  tension  unless   one  changes  the  sewing  thread  to  a  very  small  diameter   or  size   ! !! ! 10. How to Adjust Thread Take–Up Spring Fig  10-­‐1   ! ! The  standard  stroke  of  the  thread  take  up  spring   commonly  called  the  check  spring  (1)  (Fig.  10-­‐1)  is   about    3/8”.   Normally  the  stroke  or  spring  tension  does  not   require  re-­‐adjustment.   ! ! ! ! 11. Adjusting The Presser Foot Pressure 1. The  outside  presser  foot  pressure  is  adjusted  by  loosening  nut  (3)  (Fig.  11-­‐1).   2. To  increase  the  holding  capacity  of  the  outside   presser  foot,  turn  the  regulator  (1)  clockwise.   3. To  reduce  the  holding  pressure,  turn  the  regulator   counter-­‐clockwise.    Be  careful  not  to  fully  unscrew   the  regulator.    It  is  spring  loaded  and  will  “Pop”  out.  If   it  pops  out  just  reinsert  it  downward  with  enough   pressure  to  depress  the  spring  and  re-­‐screw  it   clockwise  to  reseat.   4. Tighten  the  locking  nut  (3)  (Fig  11-­‐1).   The  standard  height  of  the  presser  foot   regulator  (1)  from  the  casting  to  the  top  of   the  regulator  screw  is  about  5/8”  to  3/4”                                  Fig                1    1-­‐1       9 ! 12. Adjusting The Height Of The Feed Dog For  leather  stitching:    The  feed  dog  used  in   COWBOY  Models  CB3200/CB105  is  smooth,   without  teeth  so  as  not  to  damage  your  leather.       For  fabric  stitching:    All  models  should  use  a   course  tooth  feed  dog.       ! Fig    12-­‐1 To  adjust  the  height  of  the  feed  dog  ,  either  of   the  two  methods  are  possible:   ! 1.  Open  the  bobbin  case  to  reveal  the  feed  dog  (4)  (Fig.  12-­‐3)    attaching  screw.   2.  Loosen  the  screw  (4)  and  move  the  feed   dog  up  (6)  (Fig  12-­‐3)  or  down  as  required.   3.  Re-­‐Tighten  the  feed  dog  attaching  screw.   ! OR  a  second  method  is  to  do  the  following:   ! Fig    12-­‐2 1.  Loosen  and  remove  the  two  screws   and  small  springs  (1)  (Fig.  12-­‐2)  that   hold  the  oscillating  shuttle  bobbin   case  in  place.   2.  Remove  the  shuttle  race  (2)  (Fig.   12-­‐2)  and  bobbin  case  from  the   casting  and  reveal  the  feed  dog   attaching  screw  (4)  (Fig.  12-­‐3).     3.    Remove  the  feed  dog  attaching   screw  and  feed  dog  to  install  any  of  the   feed  dogs  and  needle  plates  shown  in   optional  accessories.   ! Fig    12-­‐3 Fig    12-­‐4 10 13.Walking Foot Height Adjustment ! To  adjust  the  height  of  the  walking  foot:     1.    Loosen  the  nut  (6)  and  move  the  lever  (7)  Up  to   Decrease  the  walking  foot  height  (B).   ! 2.    Move  the  lever  (7)  Down  in  slotted  bracket  (8)  to   Increase  the  walking  foot  height  (A).     4.Tighten  the  nut  (6)  after  completing  the  adjustment.   ! ! ! Fig    13-­‐1 14. Adjusting The Needle-To-Shuttle Relationship   ! ! ! ! Normal  timing  adjustment  of  the  shuttle  hook.   1.    Turn  the  hand  wheel  counter-­‐clockwise  until  the   oscillating  shuttle  hook  is  positioned  to  the  fullest   most  left  position  of  its  travel  with  the  needle  at  the   “Bottom-­‐Dead-­‐Center”  of  its  travel  (fully  down.)   2.    The  point  of  the  oscillating  shuttle  hook  (B)  should   then  be  equal  to  1  mm  with  the  end  of  the  steel   shuttle  hook  race  (C).   ! Fig  14-­‐1   To Adjust The Position Of The Oscillating Shuttle Hook. 1.    Open  the  front  inspection  plate  cover;  located  under   the  reverse  lever  on  the  front  of  the  Cowboy  machines   casting.   2.    Insert  a  metric  Allen  wrench  into  the  adjusting  screws   (2)(Fig.  14-­‐2)  and  loosen  the  2  screws  slightly.     3.    Fully  loosen  the  2  Allen  screws  and  rotate  the  shuttle   hook  either  clockwise  or  counter-­‐clockwise  to  align  the   shuttle  hook  correctly  as  shown  in  Fig.  14-­‐1.   4.  Remember  to  cirmly  tighten  the  allen  screws  (2)  (Fig.  14-­‐2)  when  you  have  accomplished  the   adjustment.   ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! 11 ! ! ! ! CHANGING  SPEED   ! 1. 2. 3. 4. ! 5. 6. DC Servo Motor Instructions Hold  the  down  arrow  on  the  front  of  the  motor  body  for  a  few  seconds,  “S.0”  will   display  in  the  LED  readout.   Tap  the  up  arrow  until  the  LED  indicator  reads  “S.3”.   Tap  the  down  arrow  again  briecly.   Tap  the  up  arrow  to  increase  speed  or  the  down  arrow  to  decrease  speed.  The  speed   of  the  motor  and  rpm  X  100,  is  what  shows  on  the  screen.    For  example,  when  the   LED  indicator  shows  10,  the  motor  speed  will  be  1000.  When  the  LED  indicator   shows  36,  the  motor  speed  will  be  3600.   The  indicator  will  return  to  the  home  position  after  a  few  seconds  with  the  new   adjustments.   The  more  the  foot  pedal  is  depressed  the  greater  the  speed.      Release  the  foot  pedal  to   immediately  stop  the  motor.   ! MOTOR  ROTATION  DIRECTION       ! The  motor  is  preset  at  the  factory  in  the  correct  rotation.     ! With  normal  operations  the  motor  direction  will  never  have  to  be  changed.   ! Do  not  attempt  to  change  motor  direction  without  contacting  your  dealer.       To  reset  it:   1. With  the  motor  stopped,  press  the  down  arrow  for  several  seconds  until  the  the  LED   shows  “S.0”.   2. Press  the  up  arrows  2x;  When  the  LED  is  “S.2”  press  the  down  arrow  till  the  LED   shows  “r.E”  or  “r.P”.   3. If  you  want  to  change  the  direction  press  the  up  arrow  or  the  down  arrow  to  switch   between  the  E  and  P  (E  means  reversed  direction,  P  means  normal  direction).  Five   seconds  later  the  set  pattern  will  automatically  be  saved.     ! ! ! ! ! ! 12 Trouble Shooting Problem 1. The Thread breaks or tends to fray and then break. Cause Fix 1. A burr, cut, roughness, or other imperfection was created on the needle plate, shuttle, shuttle race or presser foot by a broken or damaged needle. 2. Need thread tension excessively tight. 3. Poor quality or incorrect thread size. 4. Machine is out of synchronization. 5. Excessive needle heat build-up. 1. Clean off and remove the flaw with a fine India stone or other abrasive. 2. Loosen the upper thread tension. 3. Always use a good quality pre-lubricated left twist sewing thread. 4. Check and if necessary re-time the machine. 5. Add an additional silicone thread lubrication system to your machine. 6. Replace your needle. 2. Skipped Stitches 1. The needle is too far away from the shuttle hook point. 2. The shuttle hook timing is set too fast or too slow in relationship to the needle. 3. The leather or fabric “jumps” up with the needle (flagging). 4.
