Willcox & Gibbs W562 User Manual

ADJUSTING NEEDLE AND LOOPER
When the looper point is behind the left needle
centerline, it should be 1.2—1.5mm above the
top of the left needle eye, and the clearance
from the needle should be 0.1—0.2mm.
When the left needle comes down and its point
is flush with the top of the looper blade, the
distance between the looper eye center and the
left needle centerline should be 5.0—6.0mm.
Adjust in the following manner.
NEEDLE HEIGHT SETTING
The standard setting is as shown in Table 5.
The needle height is the distance (a) between
the left needle point and the needle plate
surface when the needle bar is in the highest
position.
Raise the needle bar to the highest position
and adjust the height as shown in Table 5.
To adjust, remove Cap Screw O, loosen Screw
0, and move the needle bar up or down.
—Note:
• After this adjustment, make sure that each
needle passes through the center of the needle
hole in the needle plate and that the gap (b)
is even. Fig. 36.
• When the needle bar is in its highest position,
the mark ® on the handwheel should meet
the mark (S).
