● Turn the handwheel in the normal direction until the needle is positioned as in fig. 34.
● Slightly loosen the screws 15 on the drive eccentric (fig. 35).
● Move the drive eccentric until the markings 16 and 17 are exactly opposite one another.
● Tighten the screws 15.
Test:

Note:
Should the loops of the two thread chainstitch needle not be correctly formed, the drive eccentric must be
