Needle guard and needle guard plate
16.2 Setting the needle guard plate
The needle guard plate is supposed to prevent the needle from being de-
flected when the loop is taken up on machines without a thread cutter.
Proper setting
When the hook tip moves to the left and reaches the needle, it must not
be possible to press the needle against the direction of sewing.
