8 Setting the feed dog
The position and the movement of the feed dog and needle bar have to be
coordinated such that the needle pierces exactly in the center of the nee-
dle hole of the feed dog.
Order
First, check the following setting:
• Needle bar linkage ( p. 43)
8.1 Setting the feed dog position
Proper setting
The feed dog is exactly in the center of the throat plate cut-out, both side-
ways and in the sewing direction.
If the stitch length is 0, the needle pierces exactly in the center of the nee-
dle hole.
Various settings can be made depending on how far the position of the
feed dog differs from the correct setting:
• For minimal deviations, it suffices to move the feed dog on the carrier
( p. 36).
• If this is not sufficient, move the entire feed dog carrier on the sliding
shaft ( p. 36).
WARNING
Risk of injury from moving parts!
Crushing possible.
Switch off the machine before you set the feed dog
position.
