When the straight stitch is selected, the needle should be positioned in the center of the needle plate hole.
When the needle drop position is set at "0.0" and "9.0", the clearance between the side of the needle and the needle
hole should be 0.2 mm or more.
1. Attach the #14 needle. Turn the power switch ON and
select straight stitch #1.
2. Check the clearance between the needle and the side
of the needle hole when the needle drop position is set
at "0.0" and "9.0" respectively.
3. If the clearance is less than 0.2 mm, adjust it as
follows.
Loosen the hexagonal socket screw (use an Allen
wrench of 2 mm width across flats).
4. Turn the eccentric pin to get 0.2 mm or more clearance.
The direction of eccentric pin should be as shown.
Tighten the hexagonal socket screw.
Attach the straight needle plate and check if the needle
