14. Adjusng the Needle Height
Tools required: (#3 Flat screwdriver)
Note: This adjustment must be completed with the front
frame cover on. Important note: Shown with cover o for
illustraon purposes only!
Check: The needle height must be set so that when viewed
from behind as shown, and with the hook point ush with
the right side of the needle, the boom of the hook point
should be 1.0 mm above the top of the needle eye, as
shown in Figure 14.1.
If a correcon is necessary:
• Lower the needle bar to its lowest posion.
• Insert a screwdriver through the access hole
(Figure 14.2).
• Hold the needle bar with your other hand to provide
resistance against the adjustment, so the needle bar will
not fall down out of the driver.
• Loosen the screw slightly so that the needle bar can be
wiggled up or down to the correct posion.
• Ensure that the needle-bar thread guide is straight
towards the front of the machine (the posion where
the user stands to use the front handle bar) (Figure
14.3).
• If correcon is necessary, slightly loosen the needle bar
driver screw while holding the needle bar with the other
hand. Rotate radially unl the hole is at front and re-
ghten the driver screw rmly.
