NOTE !!!
As you rotate the machine for timing purposes , always move
forward . If you pass the setting point , simply turn the machine
trough the cycle , back to the point you require .
LOOPER CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT .
To verify this adjustment , you have to look at the machine from the side.
The aim of this adjustment is that the point of the looper passes behind
the needle , as close to the “needle scarf “ as possible , without touching
it . The needle scarf is the hollowed-out section of the needle on the
un-grooved side just above the hole , see Fig : 11 .
If an adjustment is necessary , please proceed as follows :
1. Rotate the machine until the looper is
directly behind the needle . Do not forget
to always rotate the pulley of the machine
as the arrow indicates .
2. Loosen the socket cap screw (SC54038)
on the looper holder .
3. Move the looper holder (11301) on the
looper shaft (11303) until the looper is
positioned as closely as possible to the
needle without actually touching it .
You should be able to pass a sheet of
paper between the back of the needle
and the looper edge .
4. When this is complete , tighten the socket
cap screw on the looper holder .
5. Rotate the machine trough a complete cycle to be sure that the
looper clears the needle both on the up stroke and the back
stroke of the cycle .
When you have made or verified all of the adjustments , you can
replace the guards , covers , and parts removed when you began .
6. Replace the needle bar guard (11101) .
