Adjustment Procedure
1) Positions of Counter Knife and Clamp Spring
1. Loosen the set screws of the counter knife
2. Bring the top end of the counter knife
the counter knife base .
3. Adjust so that the distance between the end of the counter knife base
counter knife reaches 17.5
4. Fasten the set screws of the counter knife
Clamp Spring Position
1. Loosen the set screws of the clamp spring
2. Bring the end of the clamp spring
counter knife base .
3. While the end of the clamp spring comes in contact with the staged section of the counter knife
base, slide the end of the clamp spring and adjust so that the distance between the clamp
spring and the counter knife reaches 4.1 ± 0.1 mm.
4. Fasten the set screws of the clamp spring
(Caution) When the positions of the counter knife
moved, re-adjust the counter knife base
2) Counter Knife Base Position
1. Loosen the set screws of the counter knife base
2. Move the counter knife base
gauge supplied with the machine.
3. Fasten the set screws of the counter knife base
(Caution) When the counter knife base
3) Knife Pressure
1. Adjust, when the moving knife
attaching position of the moving knife so that the moving knife
the counter knife at the position that is 6 to 7 mm away from the top of the moving knife
At this time, perform aforementioned adjustment after loosening the set screws
ing knife .
4) Moving Knife Driving Arms A, B and C
1. Loosen the moving knife driving arms A
the top end of the counter knife
the case that a bobbin thread clamp failure occurs when using a thick thread, agree the top end
of the counter knife with the top end of the moving knife
2. Put the plunger stopper of the thread trimmer solenoid
and fasten the clamping screws of the moving knife driving arms B
3. Adjust so that a clearance of 0.2 mm is provided between the thread trimmer cam
thread trimmer cam roller
of its stroke (for both the right-hand and left-hand sides).
4. Fasten the clamping screw of the moving knife driving arm A .
[Item to be confirmed]
Turn the hand-wheel by hand to make the sewing machine perform thread trimming and align the top end
of the moving knife with the top end of the counter knife
trimming mechanism. At this time, confirm that a clearance of 0.05 to 0.15 mm is provided between the
plunger stopper of the thread trimmer solenoid

Results of Improper Adjustment
o If the distance (17.5 mm) from the top end of the
counter knife base to the top end of the counter
knife is larger than the specified value:
• The length of bobbin thread to be clamped will
be shortened, resulting in stitch skipping.
• The bobbin can not be inserted or removed.
o If the distance (17.5 mm) from the top end of the
counter knife base to the top end of the counter
knife is smaller than the specified value:
• Thread trimming failure may be caused.
o If the distance (4 mm) from the counter knife to the
clamp spring is larger than the specified value:
• Bobbin thread clamping failure may be caused.
• Stitch skipping may be caused at the sewing start.
o If the distance (4 mm) from the counter knife to the
clamp spring is smaller than the specified value:
• The clamp spring may clamp the needle thread.
This means that the material may not be taken
out from the sewing position with ease. As a re-
sult, the bobbin thread clamped may be removed
together with the material.
• The clamp spring may interfere with the rear
end of the moving knife , resulting in deforma-
tion of the clamp spring.
o If the distance (1 mm) from the throat plate to the
counter knife is larger than the specified value:
• The knife pressure may increase, resulting in
motor stop.
o If the distance (1 mm) from the throat plate and the
counter knife is smaller than the specified value:
• The knife pressure may decrease, resulting in
thread trimming failure.
o If the distance (33 mm) from the bed slide plate
end surface to the top end of the counter knife is
larger than the specified value:
• The length of bobbin thread to be clamped will
be shortened, resulting in stitch skipping.
o If the distance (33 mm) from the bed slide plate
end surface to the top end of the counter knife is
smaller than the specified value:
• Thread trimming failure may result.
o If the knife pressure is too high:
• The counter knife blade and the moving knife
blade may break.
o If the knife pressure is too low:
• Thread trimming failure may result.
o If the distance from the top end of the counter knife
to the top end of the moving knife is larger than the
specified value:
• The moving knife may overrun after trimming
the thread, resulting in clamping failure.
o If the distance from the top end of the counter knife
to the top end of the moving knife is smaller than
the specified value:
• The main body of the thread trimmer solenoid
may come in contact with the plunger stopper
at the time of thread trimming.
