Setting the stitch length adjusting wheels
Service Manual 867 Version 02.0 - 04/2015 31
12, 9, or 6 mm can be selected as the maximum stitch length. In doing so, 
the appropriate throat plate has to be selected for the respective maximum 
stitch length. The throat plate cut-out must be large enough that the feed-
dog does not hit against the edges of the throat plate at the front and rear 
dead center.
Proper setting
Turn the upper stitch length adjusting wheel clockwise as far as it will go.
 The upper stitch length adjusting wheel can only be turned up to the 
maximum stitch length set.

the edges.

stitch length set.
