Disturbance
Disturbances caused by an incorrect setting:
• Increased knife wear when the pressure is too great
• Problems in cutting the thread
Setting the cutting pressure
The shape of the thread-pulling knife automatically creates the required
cutting pressure as soon as both cutting edges are on top of one another.
To set the cutting pressure:
1. Open the throat plate slide ( p. 20)
2. Disassemble the throat plate ( p. 21).
3. Disassemble the feed dog ( p. 22).

knife (3).
