The knee plate (D, Fig. 3) may be moved up or
down to suit the operator after loosening the set
screw (E). It may be swung to the right or left
after loosening the set screw in the hub (B).
The stop (C) should be set so that the knee lifter
cannot raise the presser bar any higher than it is
raised by the hand lifter (A, Fig. 2), in order to pre-
vent strain on the tension relea.se mechanism. Thc
rear stop (F, Fig. 3) should permit a little loose
motion of the knee lever after the presser foot has
been lowered to the throat plate.
