3. Adjustment of the sideways movement
Requirement:
At zigzag stitch setting the sideways movement of the needle must take place with the needle at a
position higher than the maximum fabric thickness.
The needle sideways movement must begin when the needle point is leaving the needle plate.
It must be completed before the needle enters the fabric again, approx. 7 mm above the needle plate
(fig. 3).
Check:
● Set stitch control knob to the widest zigzag stitch (fig. 3b).
● Remove the presser foot shoe.
● Turn the handwheel in sewing direction until the needle rises to the right and the needle point
is positioned exactly on the surface of the needle plate.
● You can check the start of the sideways movement of the needle by simultaneously touching the back
side of the needle bar frame and the machine head with the index finger of your left hand while turning
the handwheel very slowly with your right hand.
Adjustment:
● Remove the presser foot holder completely.
● Fold up the carrying handle.
● Turn out both arm cover retaining screws and remove arm cover.
● Loosen both face cover retaining screws and remove face cover.
● Loosen screws 8 with a 2 mm Allen key (fig. 3c).
● Turn the handwheel in sewing direction until the needle rises to the right and the needle point is exactly
on the surface of the needle plate (fig. 3a).
● Turn worm 9 to the front, making sure it rests on the left side of the set collar, until feeler finger 2 is
exactly at the starting point of the rising cam 1 (fig. 3d).
● Tighten one of both screws 8.
● If no screw is accessible in this position, turn back both the worm 9 and the handwheel together until
one of the screws is accessible.
Test:
● Test the needle sideways movement as described in the section “Check”.
● Tighten screws 8 (fig. 3c).
