Stop-Finger Adjustment - Janome QMP16SU Manual

Stop-Finger Adjustment

Tool required: 2.5 mm handle hex tool
Check
The engagement of the stop-finger and throat
of the bobbin case support basket must have a
clearance of 0.8 mm to 1.0 mm. This clearance
ensures that adequate space exists for thread
escapement during the sewing process.
 NOTE: If set with too much needle
clearance, the basket will be noisy
and can also more easily slip out of
adjustment. If set too tight, the thread
will get stuck around the stop-finger and
may jam the machine.
If an adjustment is necessary
1. Loosen screw A and adjust the stop-finger so
the proper clearance is achieved as shown at
the right.
 IMPORTANT: Ensure that the stop-finger
stays up tight against the machined edge
at the left of the stop-finger as shown.
 NOTE: The machined edge helps support
the stop-finger from twisting to the
side, allowing the basket to spin out
of position, be hit by the needle and
damaged.
2. Tighten screw A.
