ADJUSTING THE THREAD CONTROLLER SPRING
Normally,the thread controllerspring(CD, Fig. 24)shouldhold slack of the up-
per thread until the needle reaches to the goods, and it should pause while rais-
ing of the needle and passing of the upper thread through the bobbin case.
I) For more controller action on the thread:
Loosen the stop screw (@, Fig. 24),move the stop (@, Fig. 24) to the right
(For less action, move it to the left). Tighten the screw.
II) To adjust the tension of the spring:
Loosen the serrated nut (@, Fig. 24) and the screw (@, Fig. 24).
Turn the tension stud (@, Fig. 24)slightly to the left to strengthen the tens-
ion (to lighten the tension, turn to the right) with a screw driver. Tighten
the screw and nut upon completion of adjustment.
