height may be required when certain materials and threads are used.
1. Remove the throat plate. Turn the left hand crank until the right hand stop wheel releases.
2. Bring needle bar A down to its lowest point of the stroke by turning right hand stop wheel counter-
clockwise. Set needle bar height to 7/32" by loosening screws B and moving needle bar up or down as
necessary. Once the adjustment has been made, re-tighten screws B.
NOTE: After screws are tightened, make sure there is no play between nuts C and gimble D.
3. Bring needle bar up to its highest point, re-install the throat plate and insert a needle. Lower needle bar,
checking position of the needle to gimp hole in throat plate. Needle should pass just to the right of the
gimp hole on the right hand stroke of the needle bar. If adjustment is required, refer to stitch bite adjust-
ment on page 1-50.
