and loosen the nut of the needle bar rocking rod

needle bar rocking rod arm to the needle throwing
rod fixing base and fix it with the nut .
2. For needle entry adjustments, the position of needle
entry can be adjusted by vertically moving the set-
screw of the needle bar rock fixing base. Since

that time, confirm that the engraved marker dot of
the bottom shaft is positioned where this shaft
seems to be tightened smoothly. In this state, mount
the removed first setscrew on the third setscrew and
fasten it based on the engraved marker dot . Then
tighten the second setscrew.
