Rule and control
The thread trimmer lever 2 should have a distance of 18.5 mm to the
front edge of the throat plate 3.
There must be 0.5 mm of clearance between the needle hole 4 and
counter-knife 1.
The counter-knife 1 should be aligned in such a way that both threads
are safely cut in the middle of the cutting area and with the lowest
possible pressure.
A low cutting pressure ensures a low wear and tear on the knives.
