9. Adjusng the Presser Bar Height (Internal Adjustment)
Tools: 3mm Handle hex tool, 0.5mm feeler gauge
Important: Make sure the hoping foot adaptor was
set correctly in the previous secon before doing this
step.
Check
When the needle bar is in its lowest posion, the
hopping foot should be no higher than 0.5mm above
the needle plate. It is permissible for the hopping foot
ring to lightly touch the needle plate.
1. Turn the handwheel unl the needle bar is at its
lowest posion.
2. Place the 0.5mm feeler gauge (part# QM40133)
under the hopping foot with the printed edge up.
3. Loosen screw C through the machine front cover
access hole.
4. Wiggle the presser bar up or down to the desired
posion.
5. Tighten screw C while pushing down lightly on the
tool blade toward the table while ghtening. This
ensures that the hopping-block mechanism contacts
the appropriate liing lever and eccentric inside the
machine.
6. Conrm the ring of the foot is centered on the
needle when the screw is ghtened.
Warning: if the jam nut is not properly ghtened the
hopping foot may become loose and be hit by the
needle causing serious machine problems.
