2. Using the screwdriver, turn the disc on the setting slot (5) such that 8 Nm 
is reached for the torque:
• To increase the force: Turn in the + direction

WARNING
Risk of injury
Crushing injuries from moving parts. 
Switch off the sewing machine before checking and 
setting the safety snap-on coupling.
ATTENTION
Machine damage due to incorrect torque
If you change the torque, it could be that the coupling will not disengage 
although this would be required. This could cause machine damage, 
e.g. in the event of the thread jamming.
Do not change the factory setting and make sure that the torque 
remains at 8 Nm.
