Needle Plate Microswitch
1.
Reattach the needle plate by hooking
the metal tabs on the left of the needle
plate under the springs that are
attached to the thread cutter.
2.
The top of the surface of the silver,
micro switch bracket and bottom
surface of the needle plate should be
11-11.5mm. If an adjustment needs to
be made, loosen the two 2mm hex
screws and move the bracket up or
down accordingly.
3.
Note that there are small tabs on both the zigzag (left) and straight stitch (right) needle
plates. The posts on these tabs are in different spots so it lets the machine know which
needle plate is set on the machine. If the microswitch is not positioned properly, the
machine will get a false reading and prompt you with an “attach needle plate” error,
usually when it is sewing at its fastest speed.
