4.7.3 Setting the needle thread regulator
The needle thread regulator regulates the amount of needle thread 
required for forming the stitch. An optimum sewing result is pos-
sible only when the needle thread regulator is exactly adjusted.
Proper setting
With the proper setting the needle thread loop must slide over the 
thi
ckest part of the hook at low tension.
When the largest thread quantity is requi
red then the thread 
tension spring (3) must be pulled approx. 0.5 mm down from its 
upper end position. This occurs when the needle thread loop 
matches the maximum hook diameter.
