17. ADJUSTING THE STITCH LENGTH Turn standard feed adjusting dial 1 or 2P feed ad- justing dial 3 counterclockwise or clockwise so that the number corresponding to the desired number is brought to the top of the dial until the marking spot is reached.
19. THREAD TAKE-UP SPRING (1) When you want to change the stroke of the spring : Loosen screw 2 in the stopper, and move stopper 3 to the right or left to change stroke of thread take-up spring 1 . Move the stopper to the right to increase the stroke of the thread take-up spring, or the left to decrease it.
22. NEEDLE-TO-HOOK RELATION WARNING : Turn OFF the power before starting the work so as to prevent accidents caused by abrupt start of the sewing machine. 0.02 - 0.1 mm Adjust the standard feed adjusting dial to "0". Loosen hook driving shaft set collar clamping screw 3 , and turn the handwheel counterclockwise to make the needle bar ascend by 2.0 mm from the lowest position of its stroke.
24. ADJUSTING THE BOBBIN CASE OPENING LEVER WARNING : Turn OFF the power before starting the work so as to prevent accidents caused by abrupt start of the sewing machine. Turn the handwheel to move bobbin case opening lever 1 in the direction of the arrow A , and loosen screw 2 .
(2) Moving knife (Adjusting the vertical position) Loosen moving knife drive arm clamping screw 1 and moving knife shaft thrust collar setscrew 2 and tighten them again after adjusting the vertical direction of moving knife 3 . When tightening moving knife drive arm clamping screw 1 , perform the items (6), (7), (8) and (9) that are mentioned later.
(3) Counter knife (Adjusting the vertical position) Loosen counter knife base clamping screw 1 , adjust it to the position where the upper end of the blade section of counter knife 2 aligns with the top surface of moving knife 3 , and tighten the screw again.
(5)-1. Counter knife (Adjusting the travel amount) (Positioning of the counter knife base stopper) Turn the handwheel to bring counter knife to the lower dead point of the thread take-up lever, and loosen knife base stopper setscrews 1 and counter knife driving arm clamping screw 2 . When the top end of counter knife 3 is spaced 37.8 ±...
(5)-2. Counter knife (Adjusting the lateral position) Loosen counter knife setscrews 1 . Set the stitch dial at "0," and set the thread take- up lever at the lower dead point. Manually actuate the solenoid valve to put the thread trimming cylinder into the state where it projects.
(6) Adjusting the knife pressure Set the thread take-up lever at the lower dead point. Manually actuate the solenoid valve to put the thread trimming cylinder into the state where it projects. (Press the manual switch of solenoid valve "(11) No.
