9-3. Adjusting the needle clearance
Turn the machine pulley to align the tip of the rotary hook with the needle center line. Then loosen the set screw q
and turn the eccentric shaft w to adjust so that the clearance between the needle and the rotary hook is 0.01 - 0.08
mm.
9-4. Adjusting the driver needle gurard
Turn the machine pulley to align the tip of the rotary hook with the needle center line. Then loosen the set screw w
and turn the eccentric shaft e to adjust so that the driver needle guard q contacts the needle. If the needle contact
pressure is too great, skipped stitches may occur. On the other hand, if the driver needle guard q is not touching the
needle, the tip of the inner rotary hook will obstruct the needle, resulting in an excessively high amount of friction.
9-5. Adjusting the shuttle race thread guide
The needle groove of the shuttle race thread guide q should be aligned with the center of the needle plate hole, and
the needle center and the angled section A should be aligned.
NOTE
If the shuttle race thread guide is in the wrong position, thread breakages, soiled thread or catching of the
thread may occur.
