Needle Plate - Duerkopp Adler 558 Service Instructions Manual

30. Needle Plate

1
The penetration of the needle into the needle hole of the needle plate
should occur one-sided on edge 2.
The clearance the needle to edge 2 should be 0,1 to 0.2 mm.
The needle plate must be set as high as possible.
This avoids the material being pressed too far down during stitching of
the needle.
Caution Risk of Injury !

–
Set the height of the needle plate at the stop screw in the needle
plate guide 1.
Through the stop screw the setting remains intact during renewed
insertion of the needle plate.
ATTENTION !

Under the material and the closed upper cloth clamps.
The material must be able to move unhindered over the needle
plate.
–
Under the scissors of the underthread and gimp trimmer.
–
Under the lower cloth clamps.
–
Over the upper thread knife.
