3. Centering of Needle Bar for Zigzag stitch
Remove the presser foot.
Install Cam "03" (Zigzag) in the ELNAGRAPH.
Install a size 110/18 needle. (Must be straight!)
Set stitch width knob at "4" and Centering Dial at center
position.
Turn flywheel towards you until the needle reaches its lowest
positions to the left and the right.
Check whether the distance between the needle and the
ends of the slot in needle plate are equal on both sides.
If these distances are not equal on both sides, proceed as
follows:
Open the front cover.
Loosen the cradle spring screw far enough that the cradle at
its extreme left position does not hit the head of the cradle
spring screw.
NOTE: The cradle spring screw must be unscrewed enough to not limit the travel of the cradle during the
adjustment!
Open the Supermatic cover.
Loosen the set screw on top of the cradle lever.
Adjust by turning the cradle lever stud.
Tighten the set screw after this adjustment.
Confirm the Needle is now centered in the slot.
Replace the 110/18 needle, with a straight size 60/8 needle. This needle must pass through the hole in the
needle plate without touching the rear edge when deflected to the left and to the right.
