Mechanical Adjustment

MODEL: AirThread 2000D

To adjust the looper threader (air) (1)

When threading the upper looper or the lower looper with a standard thread #60, a thread of 30 mm or longer should come out 
from the hole of the looper. 
For threading with the looper threader (air), see the instruction manual.

To check:

NOTE: 

For checking the looper threader, do not use threads thicker 

than #60, loosely twisted threads, special threads, moist or wet 

threads. If the thread end is fluffed, trim it. 

When you thread the looper with the looper threader (air), the 

thread may be stained with grease or oil. Do not use it again.

Do not remove the thread pulling it from the threading hole.

1.   Open the looper cover.

2.  Thread the upper looper and the lower looper with the 

looper threader (air).

    If the thread does not come out from the hole of the looper 

or the thread of less than 30 mm comes out of the hole of 

the looper, remove both threads.

3.  Set the looper threader switch lever to “SEWING”.

4.  With the looper threader (air), thread the looper of which 

thread does not come out from the hole correctly in the  

step 2.  

 

(a) If the thread of 100 mm or longer comes out: 

         Defect in the looper  

 

(b) If the thread of less than 100 mm comes out: 

         Defect in the looper threader

5.  Case (a)

5-1 There can be lint or objects stuck in the pipe of the looper. 

Insert the looper threading wire into the mouth of the looper 

connecting pipe to the tip of the looper to clean the pipe. 

(Refer to page 53 in the instruction manual.)

5-2 Repeat the procedure from step 2.

5-3 If the problem is not solved yet, the slide pipe and the 

looper connecting pipe may not be coaxial or straight.

6.  Remove the top cover, the face plate, the belt cover, the 

base plate, the looper cover and the front cover. Open the 

side cover.

* To adjust:

・ 

Set the looper threader switch lever to “THREADING” 

position.

   Turn the handwheel toward you slowly until it clicks.

・ 

The slide pipe comes to the left and it is engaged with the 

mouth of the looper connecting pige. Return the looper 

threader switch lever to “SEWING” position to disengage 

the slide pipe to the right.

・ 

Set the looper threader switch lever to “THREADING” 

position and “SEWING” position slowly to check if the slide 

pipe and the looper connecting pipe are getting coaxial and 

straight.

NOTE: 

The mouth of the looper connecting pipe is conical. If the slide 

pipe and the looper connecting pipe are not coaxial or straight, 

the slide pipe will be delicately moving to the coaxial position. 

[Upper looper]

・ 

Adjust the position of the upper looper connecting pipe 

supporter after adjusting the position of the looper take-up 

lever.

・ 

Loosen the setscrews A (2 pcs.) of the upper looper 

connecting pipe supporter slightly.

   Adjust the position of the upper looper connecting pipe 

supporter to the opposition direction to which the slide pipe 

moves at engagement.

・ 

Tighten the setscrews A (2 pcs.).

・ 

Thread the upper looper with the looper threader and check 

the length of the thread coming out from the hole of the 

upper looper tip.
