Needle
Deflector
8)
The needle
deflector
is
located in the shuttle hook
area.
lt
actually deflects the
needle
to
protect
the
point
of the
hook. The needle will
brush against the deflector
moving the
needle slightly to the
left
of the
point
of the hook. lt also keeps the needle straight,
assuring that the loop made by the thread is
consistent.
Presser
Feet Timing
9)
Both
Presser
Feet
should
rise
to the
same
height
as they alternate walking.
The
procedure
to
assure
that
your
presser
feet
are walking correctly
is
to turn the
hand
wheel
towards
you
until the
point
of the
needle is
even
with
the
plate
or
feed dog. At
this time
both
presser
feet
should
be down. The needle, and both
presser
feet
should
meet
at the
plate
or
feed
dog at the same time. lf this is not the case, then loosen
the
adjusting
screw and
make
the
adjustment. The adjusting screw
is located
on the
far
right
side
on the back of the
machine.
lt
is
an
Allen Head
screw.
Presser Feet Height
10)The
presser
feet height is
determined by what
you
are
sewing. For the most
part,
the
height is
set at medium to high. This will allow most applications to feed
(whether
thick
or thin) without
getting
caught
on
the feet and impeding the motion of the
feed
system.
lf
you
are manufacturing one item, like belts, where the thickness is constant, then
you
would set the height
to accommodate the
belts
thickness.
This adjustment is in
the
back
of the machine, and
is
sometimes
referred
to as the "banana slide" adjustment.
Hook Timing
11)To set the timing for the
hook,
first
remove
the needle
plate
and
in
some cases, the
feed
dog. This will
allow
you
maximum vision.
Set
the
stitch
length to zero. Put a new needle
in
the
machine. Raise
the
presser
feet
to the up
position.
Turn
the hand
wheel
towards
you
untilthe needle is in the lowest
position.
Continue to turn the
hand wheel
untilthe
needle comes up 3f L6"
,
this
measurement
is
critical.
At
this
time,
the
point
of the
hook
should
be
even
with
the
needle
and approximately
U8"
above the eye of the
needle,
and in the
scarf
of
the
needle as well.
To adjust
the shuttle
hook, remove
the
round
cover
plate
on
the front
of the
machine
located in
the lower right hand
side.
After
removing
the cover
plate,
look inside the
