1) Move the moving knife ❶ by hand to its forward
travel end.
2) Loosen setscrews ❷ in the counter knife and move
the counter knife ❸ to the right or left to adjust the

oped from the position where the top end of the
moving knife is spaced 5 to 6 mm from the top end

When the moving knife moves to its back-
ward travel end, the top end of the moving
knife aligns with the top end of the counter
knife. At this time, the moving knife pro-
duces a play of 0.5 to 1 mm in the moving
direction.
Make the knife pressure as low as possible
to such an extent that both needle and bob-
bin threads can be trimmed.

Adjust the amount of the alternating vertical movement
of the walking foot and the presser foot using dial ❶ .
Turn the dial clockwise to increase the amount of the
alternating vertical movement of the walking foot and
the presser foot, or counterclockwise to decrease it.
