What causes incorrect work clamp lift amount on Brother KE-430C?
An incorrect work clamp lift amount or button clamp lift amount can be caused by: * Incorrect position of the work clamp arm lever plate (button clamp holder hook assembly); adjust the work clamp (button clamp) lift amount. * Incorrect position of the work clamp arm lever; adjust the work clamp (button clamp) lift amount.
What to do if my Brother KE-430C skips stitches?
Skipped stitches can occur for several reasons: 1. The clearance between the needle and rotary hook tip might be too great; adjust the needle clearance. 2. The needle and rotary hook timing could be incorrect; adjust the needle bar lift amount. 3. The driver might be contacting the needle too much (except KE-484C); adjust the driver needle guard. 4. The needle could be bent; replace it. 5. The needle might be installed incorrectly; install it correctly. 6. The needle thread might be too short; adjust the thread take-up lever stroke.
How to fix Brother KE-430C when needle breaks?
A needle can break for the following reasons: * The needle is touching the rotary hook; adjust the needle clearance. * The needle is bent; replace the needle. * The needle is too thin; use the correct needle for the material. * The needle is striking the button; refer to “6. CHECKING THE SEWING PATTERN” in the Instruction Manual.
Why is the thread coming unthreaded on my Brother Sewing Machine?
The thread may come unthreaded due to: * Stitches being skipped at the sewing start; refer to “Skipped stitches occur”. * Uneven needle thread; adjust the sub-tension. * The needle thread being too short; adjust the thread take-up lever stroke.
Why is my Brother KE-430C Sewing Machine lower thread breaking?
The lower thread may break because: * The lower thread tension is too strong, so adjust the lower thread tension. * The corners of the needle hole plate or bobbin case are damaged; file smooth or replace the affected part.
What to do if Brother Sewing Machine thread is jamming?
Thread jamming can occur if: * The thread take-up spring tension and height are incorrect; adjust them. * The needle and rotary hook timing are incorrect; adjust the needle bar lift amount. * The shuttle race thread guide is not separating the threads; adjust its position.
What to do if inner clamping device does not operate in Brother Sewing Machine?
If the inner clamping device does not operate, adjust the work clamp pressure so that the inner clamping device operates.
What to do if Brother KE-430C Sewing Machine work clamp does not close?
If the work clamp does not close, check whether the stop lever is engaged with the stop position adjusting plate or not, and adjust the position of the presser closing roller.
What to do if the Brother KE-430C work clamp does not rise?
If the work clamp or button clamp does not rise, it could be due to: * Sluggish work clamp operation; grease the sliding part of the work clamp. * The work clamp (Button clamp) lift amount being too great; adjust the work clamp (button clamp) lift amount. * Too much friction between the work clamp plate and work clamp arm lever plate; grease them. * The work clamp contacting the thread wiper; adjust the position of the thread wiper.
How to fix Brother KE-430C when upper thread is not trimmed?
If the upper thread is not being trimmed, it could be due to: * A blunt movable knife; replace it. * A blunt fixed knife; sharpen or replace it. * The movable knife not picking up the thread; adjust the position of the shuttle race thread guide. * Skipped stitches at the sewing end preventing the movable knife from picking up the thread; refer to “Skipped stitches occur”. * An incorrect movable knife position; adjust it. * Sub-tension being too weak; turn the sub-tension nut to adjust the tension.
