NOTE
: if the motor shaft is in the wrong
place, you may need to power up the
machine and cycle the cutter by pressing
the thread cutter button a few times until
the thread cutter hook can be fixed onto
the round part of the shaft. After the hook
is adjusted vertically and rotational as
explained above, use a . 050” / 1.27mm hex
tool to tighten the set screw.
To test the thread cutter
•
Plug in the thread cutter and press the thread
cutter button on the Main screen. If you’ve
configured a handlebar button to perform a
thread cut, you can also press that button.
Â
IMPORTANT
: The thread must be pulled tight for the thread cutter hook and cutter to work
properly. In other words if one pulls away from the needle plate and then moves back towards
the needle plate before cutting the thread, the thread will be too loose. The cutter blade will
simply push the thread and not cut it.
