ADJUSTING THE NEEDLE STOP POSITION   

 

Adjust the motor so that the needle bar stops at the 
top of its stroke.    Then start the machine and check 
to see if the needle bar stops at the top of its stroke. 
Loosen screws A on the position detector. 
Align mark P on the pulley with the alignment mark 
on the cover.    Then tighten screws A. 
Check to make sure again the needle bar stops at 
the top of its stroke.

ADJUSTING THE SPEED CONTROLLER AND AIR PRESSURE   

 

Speed controller A controls the speed when the 
thread trimming knife holder protrudes. 
Speed controller B controls the speed when the 
thread trimming knife holder retracts. 
If screw A is too loosened, the knife holder will 
protrude too fast and then the position of the knife 
holder will become unstable, causing cutting errors. 
If screw B is too loosened, the knife holder will 
retract too fast and then the looper thread may not 
be held properly (the speed controllers are 
factory-set).

 

 

 

 

< Note > 

Set the regulator at 4~5kg/cm

To decrease the pressure, turn the adjusting knob 

clockwise.  Excessive pressure will give a shock to 

movable parts and cause damage and trouble. 

< Note > 

Do not connect the relay cord to the motor until the 

stop position of the needle is adjusted. 

Check to see if the thread trimmer knife is fully 

retracted.  Adjust the motor so that the machine 

pulley turns clockwise.
