4.8.2 Setting the looper thread take-up
The looper thread take-up adjusts the looper thread quantity
to the relevant set stitch length so that the stitch pull is optimal
for every length and also for stitch condensing.
The looper thread take-up can be adjusted continuously on a scale
from 0 to 5. The larger the value, the greater the released thread
quantity and the more elastic the seam.

Proper setting
The correct setting is dependent on the stitch length and the seam
type ( p. 30).
In particular for extreme settings (e. g. highly elastic seams), it
must be ensured that the looper thread quantity is not too large.
To set the looper thread take-up:
1. Switch off the machine.
2. Tilt the machine head.
3. Loosen the screws (4).
