(5) Installation positions of the spreaders and the timing to open/
close the spreaders
●
Position of left spreader
height
The clearance A provided between left spreader
and the top surface of the left looper is as small as a
piece of looper thread to be used.
●
Position of right spreader
height
The clearance provided between right spreader
and the top surface of the right looper is 0 to 0.1 mm.
1. Adjust the clearance by reforming the spreader. Place the top end of the spreader on the wooden
board or the like and gradually bend it by hand since using pliers or the like will cause the
spreader to break.
2. If the clearance provided between the spreader and the looper is excessively small or large,
stitch skipping or needle breakage will result.
