Caution: Danger of injury !
Adjust thread clamp and thread deflector only with the machine
switched off.
Standard checking
The deflector 2 is mounted above the stationary knife 3. It avoids that
the gimp and looper thread ends get between knife 3 and the back of
the thread catcher 1. They are guided into the thread catcher or next to
it instead.
If this is not the case, the knife can be pushed aside and does not cut.
The cutting pressure must only be as high as it is necessary for a safe
thread trimming.
The thread catcher must pass the thread clamps 7 as close as
possible, but must not touch them.
Correction
