24.1. Adjusting the Wide-Angle Driver
This procedure may need to be performed if the Wide-Angle Driver was purchased
separately from your machine, the driver has been dropped or mishandled, if the initial installation of the
driver shows the adjustment to be o, or if prompted by technical support.
The Wide-Angle Driver may need to be adjusted to custom-t each machine. A driver that is not properly
adjusted to the machine it is used on will result in a negative impact on sew-out quality, machine productivity,
and reliability.
The following tools will be used:
· Screwdriver, Hex Drive, Ball End, 4mm
· Hex Set, 7 Pieces, Metric Long – 6mm and 2mm
Testing for Appropriate Adjustment
1. Install the driver using the instructions for Installing the Wide-Angle Driver.
2. Position the driver so that the bearing block is aligned to the front of the support shaft and the driver
ring is centered with the hole in the needle plate. Reference the ring’s frame location tab.
3. Place a business card of medium to heavy stock (or equivalent) between the needle plate and the
driver ring. A single business card should be able to slide between them with little resistance. A gap of
two business cards is acceptable.
4. If the gap is too small or too large, the driver will need to be adjusted using the steps below.
