Corrective measure
• Check and replace the needle.
• Use DO x 558 needle.
• Adjust the clearance at the time of inside needle or
outside needle.
• Check and adjust the clearance.
• Adjust the center of the needle.
• Adjust the timing with the stitch bite width used.
• Adjust the timing to open/close the spreader by the
stitch bite width used.
• Remove the cloth waste from the spreader. Replace the
spreader with a new one.

position of thread take-up thread guide
.
•

• Decrease the sewing speed of eyelet section.
Correct the presser foot or replace it with a new one.
•
Lift the installing position of thread take-up thread guide
.
• Decrease the needle thread tension. Lower the installing
position of thread take-up thread guide
.
•
Adjust the feeding amount of needle thread.
•
Check and adjust the timing between the needle and the looper.
• Check and adjust the opening amount of the spreader.
• Replace the gimp. Check the thread path of gimp.
• Adjust the sewing conditions to obtain an appropriate
thread tension.
• Check and adjust the clearance.

Cause
• The needle is bent. There is a scratchon the
needle. The needle is incorrectly attached.
• Kind of needle is wrong.
• The clearance between the needle and the

•
The clearance between the needle and the needle
guard is too large or the needle and the needle
guard come in excessive contact with each other.
• The clearance between the needle and the
looper varies according to the turning angle (0˚,
90˚ and 180˚).
•
Improper adjustment of the timing between the
needle and the looper
•
Improper adjustment of the timing to open/close
the spreader The spreader comes in contact with
the needle.
•
Motion to open/close the spreader is not smooth.
• The clearance between the presser foot and the
needle entry point is too large.
• Thread tension is not proper.
• The blade point of looper has worn out.
•
Improper adjustment of the height of the needle bar
• The looper or the spreader not suitable for the
stitch bite width is used.
• Improper adjustment of the clearance between
the needle and the looper
•
Improper adjustment of the timing to open/close
the spreader The spreader comes in contact with
the needle.
•
The needle does not fit the kind of throat plate
(needle size used).
• Thread which is difficult to make loops is used.
(Hard-to-slide thread or the like)
• The needle is bent at the thick section of the
material and stitch skipping occurs.
•
In case of the cut-before knife, the inside needle is
bent at the cutting section and stitch skipping occurs.
• The length of remaining needle thread at the
start of sewing is too short.
• The left-hand spreader is installed incorrectly.
• The timing of the right-hand looper is too early.
• The clearance between the presser foot and the
needle entry point is too large.
•
The looper is bent. There are scratches on the looper.
•
Feeding amount of the needle thread is insufficient.
• Looper thread clamp/looper thread presser is
weak and the looper thread comes off at the
start of sew
ing.
• The clearance between the presser foot and the
needle entry point is too llarge.
• The cloth is flopping.
•
Needle thread loop is too large and falls.
As a result, it is not caught by the looper.
• Needle thread loop cannot be made.
As a result, the looper cannot catch the thread
•
The feeding amount of needle thread is insufficient.
• The timing of the right-hand looper is too late.
• The opening amount of the right-hand spreader
is insufficient.
•
The gimp is too hard.
• The needle thread tension is too high.
• The needle comes in contact with the blade point
of the looper.
•
The thread paths in the needle, loopers,
spreaders, throat plate, etc. have become worn
out or conta
in scratches.
• The thread is too thick or too thin for the needle.
