3.10.2 Replacing the indented belt To observe: in machines with Mini-stop first remove the driving toothed belt as instructed in par. 3.12. When replacing the indented belt, the mutual position of the pulleys (4 and 5) should be maintained. Caution! Danger of injury! Switch off the main switch! Before starting the setting operation, wait until the motor stops! - Remove the handwheel, the belt guard and the V-belt.

4.7 Setting the retaining spring of the hook thread The retaining spring (1) holds the hook thread after having performed the trimming. It is to be set in such a way that the force necessary for pulling out the thread from the retaining spring (1) is approximately equal to the force necessary for pulling out the thread from the hook.

5. Material trimming For the knives “D” and „F“, the mutual orientation of the eccentrics (2, 3) should be such, so that their counterweights are in alignment (this refers to the largest possible stroke of the knife = 2,4 mm). Caution Danger of injury! Switch off the main switch! Before starting the setting operation, wait until the motor stops!

For a precise setting, a magnifying glass is to be used. For correct function of the trimming device, for a long service life of the knife and of the insert, it is necessary that the knife and the cutting edge of the insert are parallel and that there is no clearance between them and that the knife is not excessively pushed against the throat plate insert.
Page 31
For setting the parallelism (crossing) of the knife and the throat plate insert cutting edge there serves the wedge (1). Caution! Danger of injury! Switch off the main switch! Before starting the setting operation, wait until the motor stops! - Loosen slightly the screws (2) to loosen the trimming knife. - Loosen the screw (3).

6.3 Setting the electromagnet current The time response of the current of electromag. has 2 phases: - initial switching on (0,2 ÷ 0,5 s) - the maximum force - maintaining (when keying) It is necessary to set max. 40 % of keying (see instructions for use of the stopmotor).
8. Connecting the electric elements on the machine head The connection of the electric elements (electromagnets, backtacking, presser foot lifting, thread trimming, loosening of the tensioner and push-buttons) is made by means of a switchboard (1) fixed with its supporting plate (2) on the rear side of the head by means of two distance screws (3) (In the Fig., these electric elements are disconnected).
