Adjusting the Needle Bar Height
Tools required: (#2 or #3 Flat-slot screwdriver x 150mm)
Check:
This adjustment must be completed with the front frame
cover on. Important note: shown with cover off for
illustration purposes only!
The needle height must be set so that when viewed from
behind as shown, the hook point is flush with right side of
the needle. The bottom of the hook point should be 1.0mm
above the top of the needle eye. (See figure 41).
If a correction is necessary:
•
Lower the needle bar to its highest position.
•
Insert a screw driver through the access hole.
(See figure 42.)
•
Loosen the screw slightly so that the needle bar
can be wiggled up or down to the correct position.
Note: Under NO circumstance should the needle bar clamp
screw be completely loosened. Failure to observe this
caution can result in the uncoupling of the needle bar from
the needle bar driver. If this happens, do not run the
machine. Remove the front frame cover, reassemble the
needle bar to the needle bar driver and readjust.
