The thread regulator may only be adjusted with the sewing machine
switched off.
The thread regulator 1 controls the quantity of needle thread required
for stitch formation.
The thread regulator must be precisely adjusted for an optimum result.
At the correct setting the needle-thread loop must slide at low tension
over the thickest point of the hook.

Adjustment information:
If the maximum quantity of thread is required the thread-tensioning
spring 3 must be pulled upwards about 0.5 mm from its lower limit

maximum hook diameter.
