Tum the pulley to move the needle bar to the lowest position. Then remove the rubber cap (2), loosen the screw (3) and
then move the needle bar
up
or
down to adjust so that the second reference line from the bottom
of
the needle bar
(reference
line A) is aligned with the lower edge
of
the needle bar bush
(1
).
•
If
using a DP x 5 needle, use the highest reference line (reference line a).

Tum the pulley to align the tip
of
the rotary hook with the needle center line. Then loosen the
set
screw (2) and tum the
eccentric shaft (3) to adjust so that the driver
needle guard (1) contacts the needle.
Note:
If
the needle contact pressure is too great, skipped stitches
may
occur.
On
the other hand,
if
the driver needle guard (1) is
not
touching the needle, the tip
of
the inner rotary hook will obstruct the needle, resulting in an excessively high amount
of
friction.
