10. WORK BEING DRAWN INTO
SHEARS:
A) Cord drawing hard or sticking. Trace cause
and remedy it.
B) In order to be doubly sure that the upper
thread breaks properly, provision has bee
made, in case the tension and forward motion
of the machine fail, for the upper thread to be
placed in the groove of the Throat Plate as
well as the under thread, with the result that
the Thread Hook 10.4204 when pulling
off the slack of the under thread, will put
sufficient tension on the upper thread to break
it. The Throat Plate slot at entry should be
beveled smooth from the bottom side so
that the corner of the Throat Plate will not
hinder the entrance of the upper thread into
the channel. Care should be exercised not
to make the channel wider from the top side
except slightly rounding the corners,
otherwise the cord will interfere.
