Adjust so that the upper thread trimmer lever opens

Remedy
As viewed from the direction of the face plate, attach
the needle so that the groove of the needle faces
frontward.
1. Adjust the needle bar height to "1" on the gauge.
2. Adjust the needle and rotary hook timing to "2" on
the gauge.
Adjust the gap between the needle and the rotary hook
tip to 0.01 - 0.08 mm. (Adjust to as large as possible
without causing skipped stitches to occur.)
* Move the needle bar to the left and right with your
finger, and check that the tip of the rotary hook does
not strike the needle.
Adjust the forward/back position of the needle plate so
that the needle is in the center of the needle hole.
Bisect
Polish with buff.
Check the chamfered side
finishing
(Needle plate cross section)
Refer to "11-16. Needle strikes upper thread trimmer".
Install the cutter so that the clearance between the
needle bar and the cutter is 0.3 mm.
* The cutter release section of the needle bar should be
at a right angle to the cutter.
