NOTE:
The thread may break due to heat under some sewing
conditions. If this happens, reduce the sewing speed, or
use the liquid cooling tank (option).
Adjust the thread tension to the weakest possible ten-
sion by turning the thread tension nut q until the bob-
bin case will not drop by its own weight while the
thread end coming out of the bobbin case is held.
Turn the tension nut q(main tension) to adjust the
tension as appropriate for the material being sewn.
Furthermore, turn the thread nut w(sub-tension) to ad-
just the remaining length of upper thread to 35 - 40
mm, when the thread take-up lever is not used.
