Pfaff 360 User Manual

Loosen the set screw in the presser bar guide collar (Fig. 18-2), and push up
the presser bar slightly so that gauge 8760-104, recess down, can be placed
between the gauge foot and the needle plate. Now lower the presser bar until
the
gauge foot touches the surface of the gauge just lightly (Fig. 91), and tighten
the set screw in the presser bar guide collar. lower the presser bar lifter so
that the gauge is held in place by the gauge foot. Tilt the machine back, and
turn the balance wheel to bring the feed dog to its highest position. Now check
whether the feed teeth corntact the underside of the recessed portion of the
gauge. If adjustment is required, loosen the binding screw and slightly raise or
lower the feed lifting shaft front crank. Return the machine to its normal posi-
tion, raise the presser bar, remove the gauge, and tighten the binding screw.
With
Pfaff 360 machines, the height of the feed dog is adjusted in the same
manner. To get at the feed lifting shaft front crank, remove the needle plate.
In order to adjust the lateral position of the presser foot, l oosen the set screw
in the presser bar guide collar, and cautiously lower the needle bar . Check to
see that the thick top portion of the gauge needle shaft passes through the
needle hole in the gauge foot, without being deflected. This is the most impor-
tant requirement that has to be met in adjusting the lat eral position of the
presser foot.
In addition, it is desirable to set the gauge foot so that its left
edge runs parallel to the edge of the feed slo t. After the adjustment, tighten
the
set screw in the presser bar guide co llar for good.
