Caution Risk of Injury!
Set the needle plate only in the "Safe Stop" position or with the
machine turned off.
Rule and Control
The needle entry point of the needle in the stitch hole of the needle
plate should occur one-sidedly at the edge 1.
The needle plate must be set as far up as possible.
This prevents the material from being pressed too far down at the entry
point of the needle.
During the sewing sequence there must still be a slight clearance to
the needle plate at the following points:
Under the material / the closed upper cloth clamps.
–
The material must be able to move unhindered over the needle
plate.
Under the shears of the looper thread and gimp trimmers.
–
Under the lower cloth clamps.
–
Above the needle thread knife.
–
The needle thread knife must move as close as possible without
touching under the needle plate.
Correction
Set the height of the needle plate at the stop screw 2 in the needle
–
plate guide.
Through the stop screw the setting remains after a renewed
insertion of the needle plate.
