When the looper moves around the needles, the point of
the looper on 2-needle and 3-needle machines barely
touches the right needle and the clearance between the
point of the looper and the left needle is approximately
0.2mm.
< Note >
To sew under good conditions, adjust the looper orbit after
changing the
movement by moving the timing mark slightly to X or Y.
To change the looper's orbit,
1. Loosen screw B on eccentric A.
2. Shift the timing mark by moving eccentric A front
or back.
The timing mark is factory-set for standard.
Do not change the orbit extremely.
■ T he timing mark is at the standard position.
The 3 o'clock end of the orbit is at a slightly up
position.
■To advance the timing of the looper to the needle
Shift the timing mark to X. Skip stitching may occur when the looper moves to the right.
A thread chain is not produced smoothly.
■To delay the timing of the looper to the needle Shift the timing mark to Y.
Skip stitching may occur when the looper moves to the left.
The needle extremely touches the back of the looper, causing needle breakage.

The clearance between the point of the left needle and
the back side of the looper when the looper moves to
the right from the extreme left end of its travel should
be 0.05 -0.1mm. The clearance between the point of
the right needle and the back side of the looper should
be 0.2~0.3mm. The amount of the looper front-to-back
movement is factory-set properly for needle counts
9~11.
If you use needle counts 12~14, adjust the amount as
required (see below).
1. Remove rear bed cover A.
2. Loosen the nut on the looper front-to-back rod pin.
To decrease the amount, move the rod pin to X.
To increase the amount, move the rod pin to Y.
The amount range is from 2.3 to 3.1mm.
The amount is factory-set at 2.7 to 2.8mm.
Adjust according to the needle count.
If the amount is excessively decreased, the needle will
rub against the back of the looper, causing needle
breakage. If the amount is excessively increased, the
clearance between the needle and the back of the
looper will increase and then skip stitching may occur
when the looper moves to the left.
