M. Chain Looper Tension (Brown)
Thread the chain looper tension for either 5-Thread
stitch or after selecting any stitch in program 10.
Example:
•
5-Thread stitch (Yellow):
Thread the chain looper tension and set it to N.
•
3-Thread Wide and Overlock 3 (Blank):
Do not thread chain looper.
Needles
The machine is supplied with Schmetz brand EL x 705
needles. This is an industrial type needle that ensures
proper stitch formation at high speeds. The scarf (dent
on needle back) is important because it allows the
looper to come near the needle to catch the thread and
form a stitch. EL x 705 needles are available in two
sizes – 80/12 and 90/14.
It is possible to use conventional sewing machine
needles – 130/705H – for special threads and fabrics.
Common stitch problems can often be traced directly to
the needle.

Needle is dull or has burrs. (Change needles
frequently; even new needles can have
imperfections.)
