1. Loosen the screw (5), and adjust the cutter Y direction using cutter holder DL (6) so that the clearance between
the needle bar (4) and the cutter (1) is 0.3 mm.
Note: When replacing the cutter, be careful not to allow the cutter to touch the needle bar because of any play
in the cutter installation position.
