Setting the pre-tensioner
When main tensioner (3) and additional tensioner (4) are open, a
small amount of residual tension of the needle thread is required.
This residual tension is generated by the pre-tensioner (2).
The pre-tensioner (2) also affects the length of the cut needle
thread end and, thus, the length of the initial thread for the new
seam.
To set the pre-tensioner:
1.
Turn the pre-tensioner adjusting wheel (2) until the front side
is flush with the bolt (1).
• Shorter initial thread: Turn the adjusting wheel (2) clock-
wise
• Longer initial thread: Turn the adjusting wheel (2) counter-
clockwise

(4) - Additional tensioner
