11-3) ADJUSTING UPPER THREAD HOLDING UNIT

1) Checking the assembly of upper thread holding lever and upper thread holder plate
① Stroke of the upper thread holder driver plate in the upper thread holder base should be 1mm from the base
when the upper thread holding solenoid is on.
② If the space is shorter than 1mm, adjust the position of the upper thread holding solenoid up and down so
that the stroke of the plate is 1mm.
③ If the solenoid is not adjusted with the above measure, you must adjust the position of the upper thread
holding lever.
④ To adjust the upper thread holding lever, remove the arm protection plate from the arm. Adjust the upper
thread holding solenoid over the center, and unscrew the lever. Support the arm protection plate with a flat
plate so the lever touches the flat plate. Fasten the screw of the upper thread holding lever. Make sure that
the upper thread holding lever is touching the axis of the upper thread holding solenoid.
⑤ Check if the lever moves smoothly left and right when you manually operate it.
⑥ Install the arm protection plate and go through ① and ② to complete.
[CAUTION]
If the upper thread holding unit does not function well, check if the upper thread holder driver plate of the unit
moves smoothly when you manually move it. If not, adjust the position of the upper thread holding base.
