Making sure catcher 1 is in starting position, loosen screws 2 slightly.
Maintain position and adjust position of bracket 3 so that lip of trapper spring 4 is set as
close as possible to inner wall of thread catcher 1 and is flush with front edge of catcher
(see right Fig.).
In this position, tighten screws 2.
Adjust bracket 3 vertically so that there is a clearance of 0.1 mm between thread trapper
spring 4 and underside of thread catcher 1 (see lower left Fig.).
Check this adjustment according to the requirement.
On two-needle machines, make adjustment twice.
