(thick needle if possible).
Replace the needle with a proper one.
SCHMETZ UY180GVS is recommended.

• When setting the needle bar rather in a
lower position, be careful of the needle
thread lock between needle and inner
hook needle guard at the lower dead
point of the needle bar.
• When setting the needle bar rather in a
higher position, be careful of the contact
between the blade point of hook and the
belly section of needle.
Make small the clearance between needle
and the blade point (Make it near to “0”.)
Especially, in case of thick materials, use
the designated hook with needle guard.
Refer to the item “Stitch gathering at
overlapped section”.
Decrease the tension.
Correct to the proper tension. (0.2N is
recommended.)
Correct to the proper stroke. (8 mm is
recommended.)
Correct to the proper stroke at the position
of arm thread guide A. (Position of marker
line is standard, and when moving
counterclockwise, stroke of thread take-up
lever is increased.)
Adjust the tension to such an extent that
thread does not move roughly between
thread tensions No. 1 and No. 2.
(However, when the tension of thread
tension No. 1 is excessively high, thread
trimming performance is affected. Do not
excessively increase the tension.)
