The thread regulator (1) regulates the amount of needle thread
required for forming the stitch. An optimum sewing result is pos-
sible only when the thread regulator is exactly adjusted.
With the correct setting the needle thread loop must slide over the
thickest part of the hook at low tension.
1. Loosen the screw (3).
2. Adjust the position of the thread regulator (1).
Thread regulator to the left = larger amount of needle thread
Thread regulator to the right = smaller amount of needle thread
3. Tighten the screw (3).
