Adjusting The Walking Foot And The Presser Foot - JUKI DSC-245 Instruction Manual

16.ADJUSTING THE WALKING FOOT AND THE PRESSER FOOT

WARNING :
Turn OFF the power before starting the work so as to prevent accidents caused by abrupt start of the
sewing machine.
● Adjusting the longitudinal position of the needle bar frame
1. Tum the feed regulator dial to maximum.
2. Turning the handwheel slowly to this side,loosen and adjust screw ❶ in the rear arm of the feed bar frame so that the
feed does not contact with the front and back of the slot of the throat plate at the time of normal/reverse stitch motion.
3. Next,tum the feed regulator dial clockwise,set the feed pitch at "0" and loosen screw ❷ in the rear arm of the needle bar frame.
4. Turning the handwheel,move the needle bar frame so that the needle enters the center of needle hole,and tighten the screw.
● Alternate vertical motions of the walking foot
and the presser foot
1. The alternate vertical strokes of the walking
foot and the presser foot are normally equal.
2. Depending on the type of material,however,the
vertical strokes of the presser foot and walking
foot should be changed.
3. For instance,when sewing slippery material or sewing
many overlapping sections,a better result may be ob-
tained by adjusting the vertical stroke of the walking
foot larger than that of the presser foot.
1) Remove the walking foot cover (front),and turn
the handwheel by hand until the thread take-up
reaches its lowest point.
2) Lower hand lifter ❶ .
3）Loosen screw ❷ .
4）As you move top feed crank ❸ to the left (in-
direction A ),the vertical stroke of the presser
foot decreases D),whereas the vertical stroke
of the walking foot increases E.
5）On the contrary,as you move the top feed crank
to the right (in direction B),the vertical stroke
of the walking foot becomes closer C to that of
the presser foot when the walking foot sole is in
contact with the throat plate surface.
6）After adjustment,securely tighten screw ❷ .
7）Reinstall the walking foot cover (front).
● Height of the walking foot and the presser foot
When sewing elastic material or overlapping sections,a better
result may be obtained by changing the height of the presser
foot and walking foot.
1) Loosen nut ❶ .
2) When you move the cam rod boss toward A within the
slot,the height is increased.
3) When you move it toward B,the height is decreased.
4) After adjustment,securely tighten nut ❶ .
