Setting the needle guards
21. Setting the rear needle guard
When the looper point of the lower overedge looper 2 is exactly at the center line of either needle “R1” or
needle “R2” when moving to the right, the needles should have a clearance of 0 - 0.05 mm to the needle
guard 18 (fig. 39).
Check:
● Turn the handwheel in the normal direction until the looper point, when moving to the right, is precisely
behind either needle “R1” or “R2”.
● Check the distance.
Setting:
● Turn the handwheel in the normal direction until the looper point, when moving to the right, is precisely
behind either needle “R1” or “R2”.
● Slightly loosen the screws 19.
● Push the rear needle guard 18 so that the clearance, as seen in fig. 39, is set.
● Tighten the screws 19.
Test:
● As described under “Requirement”.
