To Adjust The Upper Shaft Shield Plate Position - Janome Memory Craft 9000 Service Manual

TO ADJUST THE UPPER SHAFT SHIELD PLATE POSITION

NOTE: When the machine is set for zigzag stitching, the needle should start to swing 7.0 to
8.2 mm above the surface of the needle plate.
1. Remove the top cover unit.
2. Turn on the power switch. Then select zigzag pattern #8 (see page 8).
3. Turn the hand wheel toward you slowly with your hand until the needle starts to swing.
(A) If higher than 8.2 mm, loosen the setscrew and turn the upper shaft shield plate in
direction A.
(B) If lower than 7.0 mm, loosen the setscrew and turn the upper shaft shield plate in
direction B.
4. Push the upper shaft shield plate as far as possible to the left. (It should not touch the
upper shaft sensor.) Then tighten the setscrew.
5. Turn the hand wheel toward you, and check the start point of needle swing. Attach the top
cover unit (see page 3).
