 2.Selectthestraightstitch.Selecttherightneedlepositionbyusingthezigzagwidthadjustingdial.
(The needle entry point is shifted to the rightmost side.)
 3.Now,turnthehandwheelbyhandtobringtheneedlebartoitslowestdeadpoint.
 4.Turnthehandwheelfurthertograduallylifttheneedlebaruntilpoint

where the needle center is aligned
withthetipofbladepointofthehookisreached.
 5.Atthistime,checktobesurethatthedistance
D
fromthetipofbladepointofthehooktotheupperend
oftheneedleeyeis3.1to3.3mm.Ifthisdistanceisnotcorrectlyprovided,carryoutthefollowingadjust-
ment.
Adjustmentprocedure
 1.Loosenthesetscrewinthehookdrivinggearwhichisnotvisiblefromundersideofthesewingmachine
whentheneedlecenteralignswiththetipofbladepointofthehook.
2. Select the straight stitch and the right needle position. Move the hook driving gear in the rotational direc-
tiontoadjustdistance
D
of3.1to3.3mmisprovidedbetweenthetipofbladepointofthehookandthe
upperendoftheneedleeyewhentheneedlebarisliftedby1.6mmfromthelowestdeadpointbyturning
thehandwheelbyhand.
  Atthistime,thebacklashbetweenthehookdrivinggearandthegearonthehooksidemaychangede-
pendingonthelocationofthehookdrivinggearonthehookdrivingshaft.Adjustmentshould,therefore,
becarriedoutwiththevisiblesetscrewtemporarilytightened,whilecarefullyobservingthehookdriving
gearinboththerotationaldirectionandaxialdirection.Adjustthebacklashto0.2to0.7mmontheperiph-
ery of the rotating hook.
 3.Afterconrmingthetimingbetweentheneedleandhookiscorrectlyadjusted,securelytightenbothset-
screws.
