Section 13: Adjustment of the Loop Lift and Needle
Distance (Continued)
Loop lift and needle height both set correctly
Needle guard
Hook screws
Page 34
 NOTE: If the needle bar has been removed
or changed, the needle bar height will need
to be at least roughly set first, or it will not
be possible to set needle distance correctly,
because the hook point will not align with the
needle scarf .
If a correction is needed:
• If still in place from the check, remove the clamp.
• The basket must be rotated down in order to make
setting the needle distance possible.
See previous page for information and pictures on
rotating the basket down .
 NOTE: Once the basket has been turned down
it must be held while turning the hand wheel
to prevent it from turning and colliding with
the needle .
 NOTE: When the hook screws have been
loosened, the adjustments of the loop lift and
needle distance are possible since the hook
can be moved radially as well as axially.
 NOTE: Some hooks are tighter than others on
the hook-shaft. You may be tempted to pry on
the hook mechanism. If you pry on the hook
it may become damaged, irreparable and
unusable .
• Loosen the two screws on the hook base. 2 mm
handle Allen. Replace the clamp and reset with
the 2.2 mm feeler gauge as described on page
32, making sure to turn the hand wheel in the
direction of motion.
• Set the hook to the correct position by sliding the
hook axially (needle distance) on its shaft, as well
as radially (loop lift), setting the hook point relative
to the needle, as described on the next page.
