Singer 72W19 - Hook (Sewing) Adjustments; Checking Hook Timing; Adjusting Hook Saddle

HOOK (SEWING) ADJUSTMENTS
To See if the Hooks are in Correct Time. Remove the slides
and throat plate and turn the balance wheel toward you until
the needle bar has passed its lowest position and risen so that
the lower mark on it is even with the underside of the needle bar
bushing. If in correct time, the point of each hook will be at the
center of each needle and inch above the eye; if not, loosen the
screws in the bevel gear on the shaft under the hook and turn
the gear forward or backward slightly until the hook is in time
as instructed above, then retighten the screws.
Be sure that the needle guard on the hook washer (see Fig.
11) does not deflect the needle. If the hook is too far from or
too near the needle, loosen hook saddle screws (bb, see Fig. 2)
just enough to permit the saddle to be driven with light blows
to the position desired, then retighten the screws.
