SYNCHRONIZING LOOPER AND NEEDLE MOTIONS Synchronization is the most important adjustment involving the needle and looper motion relation, because it maintains the needle-looper relation at both the needle loop taking time, as well as when the needle enters the looper triangle. This adjustment is best made using synchronization gauge set TT34.

NEEDLE BAR HEIGHT Turn handwheel to position point of looper (A, Fig. 8) 1/64" (0.4mm) past the left side of needle (B). At this time the top of the eye of the needle (B) should be even with the under side of the looper (A). To make adjustment, loosen screw (C Fig.
Page 10
Fig 11 REAR NEEDLE GUARD FOR STYLE 56100MB Rotate handwheel in operating direction to position looper point at the right hand side of needle. At this time the needle guard (A, Fig 12) should be at its extreme end of forward travel. Set the guard front to back to just touch the needle.

THREADING Draw looper and needle threads into the machine and start operating on a piece of fabric. Refer to threading diagram (Fig. 1) for manner of threading this machine. LOOPER THREAD CAST-OFF WIRE Looper thread cast-off wire (A, Fig. 13) located on the take- up shield (B) controls the amount of slack thread in the system and can be moved to any position.
Page 12
SETTING NEEDLE THREAD GUIDE AND FRAME EYELET Turn handwheel in operating direction until the needle bar reaches its lowest position. Set needle thread take-up wire (B, Fig. 15) so that its thread contact surface is even with the center of the needle bar thread eyelet (C). Lower this setting for a smaller needle thread loop, raise for a larger loop.
