1.0 mm
Access hole
Tools required: (#3 Flat screwdriver)
Note: This adjustment must be completed with the front
frame cover on. Important note: Shown with cover off for
illustration purposes only!
Check: The needle height must be set so that when viewed
from behind as shown, and with the hook point flush with
the right side of the needle, the bottom of the hook point
should be 1.0 mm above the top of the needle eye, as
shown in Figure 14.1 .
If a correction is necessary:
• Lower the needle bar to its lowest position.
• Insert a screwdriver through the access hole
(Figure 14.2).
• Hold the needle bar with your other hand to provide
resistance against the adjustment, so the needle bar will
not fall down out of the driver.
• Loosen the screw slightly so that the needle bar can be
wiggled up or down to the correct position.
• Ensure that the needle-bar thread guide is straight
towards the front of the machine (the position where
the user stands to use the front handle bar) (Figure
14.3).
• If correction is necessary, slightly loosen the needle bar
driver screw while holding the needle bar with the other
hand. Rotate radially until the hole is at front and re-
tighten the driver screw firmly.
