the set screw (3) and turn the adjusting stud (4) to adjust so that the driver (2) is touching the needle.

If the driver (2) crosses the needle more than necessary, it will cause problems with the thread tension.
Furthermore, if it does not cross the needle at all, the tip of the rotary hook will interfere with the needle and skipped
stitches may occur.
