To prevent the point of the hook from dividing the strands of the thread,
it should run as close to the needle (within the scarf) as possible.

Turn the machine pulley over toward you until the point of the sewing
hook is at the center of thb needle. loosen the two screws (R, Fig. 20)
holding the hook saddle underneath the bed of the machine and move
the hook saddle to the right or left, as moy be required, until the point
of the hook is as close to the needle as possible without striking it, then
securely tighten the two screws (R).
The
needle guard (Y, Fig. 22), which is attached to the side of the
sewing hook, should be sprung until it prevents the needle from striking the
hook in case the needle is denected towards the hook.
