Thread breakage due to the heated
needle.
™
This occurs on synthetic fi ber thread.
Apply silicon oil lubricant (refer to “11. AT-
TACHING THE NEEDLE”) or reduce the
sewing speed.
4
Thread tension is too high.
™
Lessen the thread tension.
Refer to “8. THREAD TENSION”.
5
Thread path of needle, looper, throat
plate or needle guard is bruised.
™
Make them smooth by means of oilstone or
buffi ng.
6
Excessive thread is remained and
hooked again.
™

™
Verify the clearance between the looper and
the needle.
Refer to “17. NEEDLE-TO-LOOPER RELA-
TION”.
™
Check the timing of the looper and the needle.
Refer to “17. NEEDLE-TO-LOOPER RELA-
TION”.
™
Re-adjust the frame thread eyelet.
Refer to “21. POSITION OF THE FRAME
THREAD EYELET”.

Check the position and the timing of the needle
guard.
Refer to “18. MATCHING THE MOTION OF
