with knob 8. Step 1 is the weakest setting
Basic rule: the restraining power and the
tension discs are to be set to a medium

If edge loops occur, this can be due to the fact
that the restraining power is set too weak to
suff i ciently pull the yarn back at the end of the
knitting row. If this is the case, set the restra1ning
power to a higher setting
Note. if you set the restraining power to a higher
setting, then you must also adjust tension d1scs
4 to a higher setting Otherwise the tension arm
pulls too much yarn from the cone
The yam breakage safety device is the
protruding part behind the adjusting dial for
the restraining power.
When the tensioning arm suddenly swings to the
back because the yarn is torn, the tens1on arm
touches the yarn breakage safety
immediately shutting off the motor
