Adjusting The Stitch Length; Puller Feed Adjustment (Machines With Puller) - Brother DA-9280 Manual

8. THREAD TENSION

8-3. Adjusting the stitch length

Turn off the power switch before adjusting the stitch length.
However, the motor will keep turning even after the power is switched off as a result of the motor's inertia. Wait until the
motor stops fully before starting work.
The machine may operate if the treadle is depressed by mistake, which could result in injury.

2. While pressing the feed adjustment button (2), turn the
machine pulley (3) toward you slowly.
* The feed adjustment button (2) will move further inward.
3. While still pressing the feed adjustment button (2), keep
turning the machine pulley (3) until the desired numeral
appears in the center of the pulley cover windows (4).
* The higher the value of the numeral, the larger the stitch
length becomes.

may become broken.
