1. Loosen the set screw w and move the wiper arm support e up or down to adjust so that the clearance
between the top of the thread wiper and the needle point q is 2 ± 0.5 mm when the thread wiper is aligned
with the center of the needle.
* Before carrying out this adjustment, check that the needle bar is lowered 5 to 5.5 mm from the needle up
stop position when the sewing machine stops.
2. Loosen the screw r and move the thread guide connecting plate t up or down so that the thread wiper is
approximately 20 mm from the needle when it is at the standby position.

10. STANDARD ADJUSTMENTS
The needle up stop position is adjusted so that the
index mark w on the machine pulley q is inside the
mark r on the belt cover e.
If adjustment is necessary, loosen the screw t at the
"U" mark of the machine pulley q and adjust the po-
sition of the machine pulley q. The machine pulley q
stops later if it is turned clockwise, and it stops earlier
if it is turned counterclockwise.
NOTE:
The screw y at the "D" mark is an adjusting screw for
the needle down detection function and is adjusted to
match the feed timing, so it should not be loosened.
The screw u is a screw for detecting the machine stop
position, and should not be loosened.
* If the index mark w is not inside the mark r when
the sewing machine is started, error code "E-50"
will be displayed. Turn the machine pulley to move
the index mark w to the correct position and then
start the sewing machine.
