1. Adjusting the stitch length
Rotate the stitch length adjusting knob clockwise to cut
the wire short.
Rotate counterclockwise to cut it long.
The length changes by about 0.8 mm/0.03 inch with
each rotation.
2. Adjusting the left and right leg length
Adjust the left and right legs to the same length using the
balance adjustment wheel.
When this wheel is rotated upward, the L side leg
becomes longer.
When this wheel is rotated downward, the L side leg
becomes shorter.
3. Straightening the wire
Straight wire enables more stable stitching operations.
Remove the leaf spring and remove the former.
Feed the wire with the adjusting handle.
Rotating the wire straightener clockwise warps the wire
downward and rotating it counterclockwise warps it
upward.
Adjust until the wire runs out straight.
After adjustment, pull the wire back inside with the handle,
and then return the former to its original position.
