16
To Set: the Needle Bar at the Correct Meight
See that the needle Is pushed up Into the needle bar as far
as It will go, then remove the face plate.
The needle bar,
vAilch is In the machine
when shipped from the
factory, has two timing
marks near its upper
end. Rotate the bal
ance wheel until the
needle bar moves down
to its lowest position.
The UPPER TIMING MARK
on the needle bar
should then be centered
with the lower end of
the needle bar bushing,
as shown at (D) in Fig.
SO. In case the needle
bar is not set at the
correct height, loosen
screw (E,Fig.20) and
move the needle bar up
or down until the UPPER
TIMIN3 MARK is centered
with the lower end of
the needle bar bushing,
as shown at (D,Fig.20),
then securely tighten
screw (E).
In the event that
the setting of the
needle bar bushing has
been disturbed, thus making it impossible to set the needle bar
for correct height by centering the upper timing mark with the
lower end of the needle bar bushing, turn the balance wheel to
bring the hook point to the center of the needle, loosen screw
(E) and move the needle bar up or down to bring the top of the
needle eye 1/32 inch below the point of the hook, then securely
tighten screw (E). Loosen the needle bar bushing set screw at
the top of the machine arm and, while the hook point is at the
center of the needle and 1/32 inch above the top of the needle
eye, move the needle bar bushing up or down to bring its lower
end exactly even with the LOWER TIMING MARK on the needle bar,
then securely tighten the needle bar bushing set screw.
