The outlet of air wiper C should be positioned 
approximately 10mm to the right of the right needle.   
Adjustment is made by loosening screw A. 
The outlet should be 2~3mm below the eye of the 
needle.    Adjustment is made by loosening screw B. 
The time when the air wiper is blowing is factory-set 
at 2 sec.    Adjustment can be made by changing the 
settings on the motor.  Read the instruction 
manual for the motor carefully for more information.   
The amount of the air should be sufficient to remove 
the needle thread from the fabric. 
Adjustment is made by turning speed control D as 
required (the amount of the air on FX4412P/UTC is 
fixed).
