Adjustment Points
1. If the timing belt tension is too loose, the belt may jump while sewing on denim and other thicker fabrics or
overlapping fabric. And then the feed timing or the timing of the needle and rotary hook may prevent sewing.
2. If the motor belt tension is too tight, the torque becomes too much, causing the motor to rotate slower and
generate an irregular noise.
3. If the motor belt tension is too loose, the belt may jump while sewing on denim and other thicker fabrics or
overlapping fabrics. And then the upper shaft may not rotate smoothly, or may not rotate.
