Buttonhole adjustment (continued):
Adjusting the buttonhole turns for nice round turns.
1. Before you take anything apart here, I want you to pay close attention to the spring that is wrapped around the
bracket and the rod unit just below it. See pictures (1).
2. Make sure the needle position dial is set in the “Center” position. Observe the gap between the parts in figure b.
3. Set the needle position dial to “R”, or on the “red – right position for buttonholes”. As soon as the needle position is
set to the right position, these two brackets just touch. No gap should be visible. This is what controls the turns of
the buttonhole. If adjustment is necessary, loosen the screw in figure c, and adjust until you achieve a nice rounded
turn. Most machines should make a fairly nice turn at this point, but fine tuning may be necessary due to other parts
being just slightly worn, or slightly out of adjustment, but fall within the specs of adjustment.
Observe the position of this spring, and how it wraps around the rod
ust below it. Very important to put back like it came apart.
Loosen screw (a), and gently lift the bracket off. Watch that spring
as the unit comes apart.
