The looper is set correctly if, as it moves to the left behind the needle, its
point (A, Fig. 8) clears the rear of needle (B) by .002 inch (.051mm).
If adjustment is necessary, loosen lock screw (G, Fig. 7) and turn stop screw
(H) as required. Turning stop screw clockwise sets the looper to the rear
and turning it counterclockwise acts the reverse. Holding looper to the
front while making this adjustment may prove helpful. Tighten lock screw
when setting is obtained and recheck the adjustment.
Insert the other needles and loopers. Other than applying pressure on the
looper at the front or back Fig. 8 of the blade, so as to get the proper in-
line-of-feed setting, the same looper to needle relationship should exist
without any further adjustment while clamping the looper in the looper
rocker.
The height of the needle is correct when the top of its eye is 1/64 to 1/32 inch (.4 - .8mm) below the
underside of the looper, when the looper point flush with the left side of the needle as shown in Fig. 5. If
adjustment is necessary, loosen screw (B, Fig. 3) and move needle bar (A) up or down as required and
retighen screw. Care should be taken not to disturb alignment of needle bar when moving the needle
bar either up or down. The descending needles must be deflected alike on the back of the loopers.
Rotate handwheel in operating direction to position looper point at the
right hand side of needle. At this time the needle guard (C, Fig. 9) should
be at its extreme end of forward travel. Set the guard front to back to just
touch the needles, up to .002" (.05mm) deflection is permissible on one or
two needles. Guard should be set as low as possible, yet have its vertical
face approach approximately 3/64 +/- 1/64 inch (1.2mm +/- .4mm) above
the needle point. To move needle guard forward or backward, loosen the
screw (F), move needle guard as required, and retighten screw. To raise
or lower needle guard, loosen screw (F), and turn screw (G) clockwise to
lower needle guard or counterclockwise to raise it. Retighten screw (F)
after guard is properly set.
