when the reverse stitch is made with the straight stitch.

4-15 Vertical position of the threader hook
1. Attach a household needle HA X 1 #11.
2. Turn the hand wheel to bring the needle bar near the highest point of its stroke,
loosen the setscrew in the threader hook holder and adjust the threader hook holder
in the vertical direction.
When the hook is low Move the threader hook holder in the upper direction.
When the hook is high Move the threader hook holder in the lower direction.
3. Bring the threader lever to the lowest point of its stroke and check that the clearance
provided between the upper end of the threader hook and the upper end of the
needle eyelet is 0 to 0.1 mm. (When this dimension is not 0 to 0.1 mm, there is a
case where the threading cannot be peformed according to the needle size.)
4. Checking the position in terms of the needle eyelet, perform the adjustment.
When the hook goes in and out the needle eyelet, the needle should not be bent by
the hook.
When the hook shifts in the lateral direction, perform the correction of the bend of
the hook using the tip of a small screwdriver or the like, or replace the threader hook
holder with a new one.
* The hook has to enter the needle eyelet of needle #11 to #16.
