origin position.
8. When STOP button is pressed when the position is moved to
the thread holding position, the position moves from the thread
holding position to the open amount at the start of opening
(value set with K21 , initial value : 8). Then it can be checked
that how much the bobbin thread trimmer opens when it starts
opening at the start of sewing. Every time STOP button is

values are memorized in EEPROM of the machine head and
the bobbin thread trimmer adjustment mode is completed.
When the set value at each position is
changed, it becomes as follows.

When the value is decreased,
opening amount is increased.
When the value is increased, it is
decreased. When the trimmer is
opened, be careful that the trimmer
is not caught in the needle hole.
When the opening amount is
excessively small, bobbin thread
may not be trimmed.

overlapping of upper/lower knives
of trimmer is increased and when it
is decreased, the overlapping is
decreased. When the value is
excessively increased, thread
holding after trimming bobbin
thread cannot be prerformed.
When the value is excessively
decreased, the trimmer cannot be
fully closed and thread is not
trimmed.
™ Thread holding position
(Initial value : “0” pulse)
Thread holding position at the start
of sewing can be adjusted.
When the set value is changed, the
trimmer may interfere with needle.
