TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM CAUSE REMEDY REFERENCE 1. Skipping 1. Needle is not inserted Insert the needle properly. stitches properly. 2. Needle is bent or worn. Change the needle. 3. Incorrectly threaded. Rethread. 4. Needle or thread are Use the recommended sewing inappropriate for fabric being needle and thread.

PROBLEM CAUSE REMEDY REFERENCE 6. Noisy 1. Backlash between shuttle hook See mechanical adjustment P. 13 operation gear and lower shaft gear is “Clearance between needle and too great. shuttle race (NO. 2).” 2. Lower shaft gear is loose. Eliminate the looseness. 3.
SERVICE ACCESS (1) FRONT COVER Dial Front cover TO REMOVE 1. Remove the face cover (see page 4). 2. Remove the dials. 3. Loosen the setscrew (A), (B), and (C), and then, remove the front cover by removing the setscrews (D), (E), (F), (G), (H), (I), and (J). Note: Unhook the tab (K) from the rear cover when removing the front cover.
SERVICE ACCESS (4) REAR COVER Rear cover TO REMOVE 1. Remove the face cover and front cover (see pages 4 to 5). 2. Loosen the setscrews (A), (B), and (C), and remove setscrews (D), (E), and (F). 3. Pull up the spool pins. Remove the machine socket. Remove the rear cover clearing the presser foot lifter from the slit on the cover.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT TOP TENSION TO CHECK: The standard upper thread tension should be 65 to 95 grams-force when pulling the thread (cotton thread #50) in the direction of (B) with setting the tension dial at "3". (make sure the foot should be lowered.) If the tension is out of the standard range, adjust it as follows: ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE: 1.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT BOBBIN TENSION TO CHECK: Set the bobbin in the bobbin case and pass the thread (cotton #50) through the tension spring. The bobbin thread tension should be 32 to 38 grams-force when pulling the thread in the direction of (B). If the tension is out of the range, adjust it as follows: ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE: 1.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT PRESSER BAR HEIGHT AND ALIGNMENT TO CHECK: 1. Raise the presser foot lifter (A). 2. The distance between the presser foot (D) and the needle plate (E) should be 6.0 mm. ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE: 1. Remove the face cover (see page 4). Remove the setscrews (B) and the face plate set plate. 2.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT NEEDLE SWING TO CHECK: Adjust the needle swing according to the following procedure, If the needle bar starts moving sideways while the needle is in the fabric when sewing the zigzag pattern (with the maximum zigzag width). ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE: 1.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT NEEDLE DROP TO CHECK: When the needle swings in the maximum zigzag width, the distance between both ends of the needle hole on the needle plate and the needle drop positions should be equal. If not, adjust as follows: ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE: 1.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT CLEARANCE BETWEEN NEEDLE AND SHUTTLE RACE (ADJUSTMENT METHOD NO. 1) TO CHECK: The clearance between the needle and shuttle race should be –0.05 to +0.10 mm. If not, adjust as follows: ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE: 1. Remove the face cover (see page 4). 2.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT CLEARANCE BETWEEN NEEDLE AND SHUTTLE RACE (ADJUSTMENT METHOD NO. 2) TO CHECK: Use this adjustment method NO. 2 if the clearance cannot be adjusted by the method NO.1. The clearance between the needle and shuttle race should be –0.05 to +0.10 mm. ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE: 1.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT FEED DOG HEIGHT TO CHECK: 1. Lower the presser foot. 2. Turn the handwheel toward you to bring the feed dog to its highest position. The height of the feed dog from the needle plate should be 0.75 to 0.90 mm. If it is not in the range, adjust as follows.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT NEEDLE BAR HEIGHT TO CHECK: When the tip of shuttle hook meets the left side of the needle in ascending travel of the needle from its left and lowest position. ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE: 1. Remove the face cover (see page 4). 2.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT NEEDLE TIMING TO SHUTTLE TO CHECK: The height of the needle point from its lowest point of travel should be in the range of 1.45 to 1.95 mm when the tip of the shuttle hook just meets the left side of the needle at the left needle position. ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE: 1.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT BUTTONHOLE FEED BALANCE TO CHECK: When sewing buttonhole, the stitches on each side of buttonhole should be the same stitch density. The range of 9 to 12 stitches in the right side row "backward feeding" against 10 stitches in the left side row "forward feeding"...
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT FEED BALANCE ON STRETCH STITCH TO CHECK: If the stretch stitch patterns are distorted with setting the stitch length dial at " S.S. ". If there is a difference between forward feeding and backward feeding during stretch stitch patterns, make an adjustment as follows: ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE: 1.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT BUTTONHOLE FUNCTION The standard buttonhole size is 3 mm longer than the actual button size when sewing with the automatic buttonhole foot. Adjusted as follows: ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE: 1. Attach the buttonhole foot (R). 2. Pull down the BH lever. Turn the adjusting screw (D) until the BH lever knob slightly touches the end of the stopper.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT DISENGAGEMENT OF CAM FOLLOWER TO CHECK: If the clearance between the cam follower and the top convex of the zigzag cam is not enough, the pattern selector dial is blocked or will not select the correct pattern. ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE: 1.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT MOTOR BELT TENSION TO CHECK: 1. If the motor belt tension is too tight or too loose, it can cause a belt noise: If the tension is too tight, it can cause the machine to run slowly and the motor to overload; if the tension is too loose; it can cause the belt to jump. 2.
WIRING 1. Remove the rear cover (see page 6). 2. Remove the setscrews (A), (B) and machine socket cover. 3. Follow the above procedure in reverse. Machine socket cover Machine socket unit 120V 240V Motor cord Cord from printed Cord from printed Motor cord circuit board C (LED) circuit board C (LED)
