between the surface of needle plate and bottom of presser foot should be 0.75 to 0.95 mm.
To adjust:

2. Set the stitch length dial at Ò 3 Ó and the differential feed dial at Ò 1.0 Ó .
3. Lower the presser foot and raise the feed dogs to their highest position by turning the handwheel.
4. Loosen the screws A, B and C.
5. Insert the screwdriver in the slit of the eccentric pin.
Adjust the main feed dog by turning the pin then tighten the setscrew A.

eccentric position is at the rear side.)
6. Push the sub feed dog upward and adjust the distance between the surface of needle plate and
bottom of presser foot, then tighten the setscrews B and C.
7. Check the clearance between the feed dog and the slot of the needle plate when the stitch length
is set at 5 and differential feed is set at maximum.
(If the direction of the eccentric adjustment is incorrect, the needle plate and feed dog may hit or
rub each other.)
