4. Adjust the needle distance by sliding the hook
axially on the hook shaft toward the needle until
the hook barely touches (lightly brushes) inside
the needle scarf. Note: It is better for the hook to
barely touch the needle than to be too far away
from the needle. Too much needle distance may
cause skipped stitches and other stitching problems.
Too little distance, where the needle is rubbing hard
on the needle guard, may cause noise and or hook
(needle guard) wear.
6. Lightly tighten the first screw with the 2 mm ball
end L hex tool tool, while providing resistance
against the adjustment, by holding the hook in
place with your other hand. Carefully rotate the
hook on the hook-shaft to set the loop lift. Carefully
snug and then tighten the first screw.
7. If timing and needle positions are still good
remove the clamp .
8. While holding the basket in the down position
and from turning, rotate the hand wheel until the
second hook screw is accessible. Carefully snug,
then tighten the second screw. If you push on the
tool while tightening, the hook may move, throwing
the settings off.
9. Tighten both screws tight with the 2 mm handle
hex tool tool.
10. Reset the loop lift clamp and gauge again to check
that loop lift and needle distance are still correct.
(Figure 13.1)
Important Note: If loop lift, needle distance and
needle height are not adjusted accurately, the
machine may skip stitches, shred thread or not sew.
In other words, it will have issues.
