A
hook
shaft
cam
system
is
utilized
for the
thread
trimmer
drive.
Therefore,
during
the
adjustment
of
sewing machine, if the sewing machine is rotated one turn with the thread trimmer solenoid in the
operating
state (the
roller
of
cam
follower
crank
(2)
is
engaged
with
the threadtrimmer
cam),
the
movable
knife
makes
contact
with
the
needle,
resulting
in
damage.
Be
sure
to
bring
the
solenoid
into
the
operating
state
only
during
a
normal
thread
trimming
cycle
(Needle
DOWN
position
to
UP
position).
