The adequate height from the upper side of needle plate to the end of feed dog is from 1.0mm to 1.2mm when the feed dog is in the highest point with the stitch is put to the maximum level.
■ In case of running the auxiliary presser foot and the upper feed presser foot at different heights Adjusting the auxiliary presser foot - Loosen the presser bar pressure adjustment screw① and the bracket fixing screw②. - Adjust vertically the bracket fixing screw② so that the auxiliary presser foot④ goes up by 8mm from the upper side of the needle plate when the presser bar lifter③...
15) Adjusting feed cam The timing of the feed dog and the needle is determined by moving vertically the feed cam④. First, turn the pulley with hands to fix the needle bar to the highest point. The standard position will be when the center of the No. 1 fixing bolt② of the presser foot vertical move cam①...
