Loosen the screw (1), raise the presser bar lifter and loosen the setscrew (2), move the lifting presser
foot up or down as may be required so as to get the correct height and tighten screws.

If the height of the lifting presser foot changes, the momentums of the lifting and vibrating presser foot
vary, thus the height of the vibrating presser foot must be adjusted. Lower the presser bar lifter, holding the
vibrating presser foot and loosen the screw (3) and move the presser foot up or down as may be required.
After setting the position, tighten the screw.
