Adjustment Fig. 1 - 05a Activate lifting movement ● Lifting movement is activated if connection part 8 is swiveled in as shon in fi gures 1 - 05a, and screws 9 (M6 x 16) and 10 (M5 x 16) have been attached. Deactivate lifting movement ●...
Adjustment Height of the bottom feed dog .05.06 Requirement When the stitch length is set at " 0" and the needle bar is positioned at b.d.c. (balance wheel position 180°), the bottom feed dog should be positioned 0.5 mm horizontally above the top edge of the needle plate.
Adjustment Feeding stroke difference .05.07 Requirement With the maximum stitch length set, when the balance wheel is turned the feeding stro- kes of the needle and the bottom feed dog should be the same. Fig. 1 - 07 ● With connecting rod 1 (nut 2) increase ("+") or reduce (-) the needle feed stroke in accordance with the requirement.
Adjustment Preliminary adjustment of the needle height .05.08 Requirement When the needle bar is positioned at t.d.c. (balance wheel position 0°), the clearance between the needle point and the needle plate should be 22 mm. Fig. 1 - 08 ● Without turning it, re-position needle bar 1 (screw 2) in accordance with the requirement.
Adjustment Needle rise, hook clearance and needle height .05.09 Requirement With the stitch length set at "4.5" and in the needle rise position (see table) The hook point 5 should be positioned at "needle centre" with a hook-to-needle clea- rance of 0.05 – 0.10 mm. The top of the needle eye should be positioned 0.8 mm below hook point 5.
Adjustment Top feed stroke .05.10 Requirement With adjustment wheel 1 set at "5", the top feed dog 7 and presser foot 4 should each rise by 5.0 mm. Fig. 1 - 10 ● Remove the bottom feed dog and set adjustment wheel 1 at "5".
Adjustment Top-feed lifting motion .05.11 Requirement The top feed dog should just have reached the needle plate when the presser foot lift is set at 5 mm and the needle descending from above is 2 mm above the needle plate. Fig.
Adjustment Adjusting the potentiometer for speed reduction .05.12 (only on the 2235 PREMIUM) ● Press "P" on the control panel, while simultaneously switching the machine on. ● Enter the code 3112 via the numbered keys and confi rm by pressing "E". ●...
