I am not sure which axis you are talking about, and also not sure if all Deckel machines are the same. But on all of the ones that I have seen (including my own) the X and Y bellows are secured with snap fasteners, like those used on clothing. So you should be able to just press/snap the bellows back into place.

The later Activ machines are the same in that regard as the older models... snap fasteners. Sometimes difficult to get to with enough pressure by fingers alone, but a flashlight (oops, I mean "torch") to line up snaps with fasteners, plus half inch or so diameter short wood (so as not to damage the fabric) dowel, and tack hammer will do the trick.
