be-
comes -2. (It is possible to adjust within the range
of -2 to +2.)
Maximum feed amount is regulated to ±2 according to the gauge delivered (feed dog :
22581508). Adjustment can be performed up to the range of maximum +5 to -4 by replacing the
gauge (feed dog : 22540009).

ally observing the nished seam.
