7-2. Adjusting the sensitivity of the thread breakage sensor

the photo sensor (2).

illuminates.
3. Turn the control (3) to the left <b> until the LED (4)
switches off.

close the cover (1).
NOTE:
• Thread breakages may be difficult to detect depending
on the thickness of the thread and the type of material
being sewn. In such cases, turn the control (3) to adjust
the sensitivity, or change the number of stitches for
judgment of an upper thread breakage.
* Contact the place of purchase for information on
changing the number of stitches for judgment of an
upper thread breakage.
• If foreign objects get into the photo sensor (2), it will not
be possible to detect thread breakages. Clean inside
the photo sensor (2) to keep it free from dust and other
foreign particles.
• If applying silicone to the thread, apply the silicone
between the thread breakage detector and the thread
take-up. If silicone is applied to the thread before it
passes through the photo sensor (2), the sensor
window inside the photo sensor (2) will become dirty,

and detection errors or other problems with operation
may occur.
