13.1 Setting the thread tensioning spring

The thread tensioning spring (2) tensions the needle thread before the
needle penetrates into the material, so that the thread cannot get under
the needle and be impaled by it.
If the overall thickness of the material is very thin or very thick, the setting
of the spring travel must be adjusted to suit.
Thin material: normal spring travel (basic position: horizontal)
Thick material: long spring travel (basic position: vertically downwards)
Standard setting
• The home position of the thread tensioning spring (2) is horizontal.
• On the home position the spring is turned through 90°.
