(6) Sample showing the appropriate amount of oil supplied to the face plate parts
1) The state given in the gure shows the appropri-
ate amount of oil (oil splashes). It is necessary to
nely adjust the amount of oil in accordance with
the sewing processes. However, do not exces-
sively increase/decrease the amount of oil in the
hook. (If the amount of oil is too small, the face
plate parts will be hot or seize. If the amount of oil
is too much, the sewing product may be stained
with oil.)
2) Check the oil amount (oil splashes) three times
(with three sheets of paper).
Use the specied needle for the machine. Use the
proper needle in accordance with the thickness of
thread used and the kinds of the materials.
1) Turn the handwheel until the needle bar reaches
the highest point of its stroke.
2) Loosen screw ❷, and hold needle ❶ with its
indented part A facing exactly to the right in
direction B.
3) Insert the needle fully into the hole in the needle
bar in the direction of the arrow until the end of
hole is reached.
4) Securely tighten screw ❷.
5) Check that long groove C of the needle is facing
exactly to the left in direction D.
When polyester lament thread is used,
if the indented part of the needle is tilted
toward operator's side, the loop of thread
becomes unstable. As a result, hangnail
of thread or thread breakage may occur.
For the thread that such phenomenon
is likely to occur, it is effective to attach
the needle with its indented part slightly
slanting on the rear side.
