Basket rotated 180 degrees down,
facilitating needle distance adjustment
If correcon of loop li or needle distance is
necessary, then the basket must rst be rotated
down: with the bobbin case basket in the normal
posion, the basket needle guard may deect the
needle and this makes it dicult to accurately adjust
the needle distance between the hook point and the
back of the needle scarf. With the basket rotated
down one can adjust the needle distance more
accurately. Figures 12.1, 12.2 and 12.3.
Important Note: Aer moving the stop-nger the
basket can rotate and be hit by the needle; you need
to hold the basket in place when turning the hand
wheel to prevent the needle from hing the basket.
Rotang basket down:
1. Loosen the stop-nger screw with the 2.5 mm
handle hex tool tool.
2. Slide the stop-nger out of the basket groove, unl
the basket can be rotated. You may need to remove
the stop-nger. In this case, don’t worry about
reinstalling it unl aer you are nished with the
ming adjustments.
3. Rotate the basket 180 degrees unl large cutout is
up towards needle as shown in Figure 12.3. You will
now need to hold the basket in that posion when
turning the handwheel to prevent the needle from
hing it.
4. Snug the stop nger screw to hold the stop nger
out of the way.
5. Adjust needle distance (and loop li) as directed in
the next secon.
