Turn on the main switch. Set the machine at the
maximum stitch width for zig-zag. Remove the
sole from the holder and place it on the stitch
plate. Slowly turn the handwheel until the needle

should be able to pass just over the highest
part of the sole.

Loosen the screw 7/44 in the screen and turn
the screen until the correct needle clearance is
obtained. The clearance will increase if the
screen is turned towards the working direction
of the arm shaft.
