Adjustment of yarn tension
1. To avoid loops, adjust restoring force on rotary knob (1) so that tension
arm (1) has just enough force to pull up loose thread from yarn carrier.
2. Thread the thread into the yarn carrier and fasten it.
3. Adjust yarn brake (4) so that the tension arm does not pull the thread off
the bobbin and the yarn brake has just enough force to hold the thread.
4. Adjust knot detectors for large knots (2) and for small knots (3)
depending on yarn thickness and knots so, that they are triggered by an
undesirable knot size.
Depending upon the type of fabric and the yarn
characteristics it is possible that you may have to change the
adjustments many times before you find the optimal
adjustment.
These adjustments are the easiest to undertake while the
machine is knitting.
Make sure that the braking and restoring force on all
elements is set at the lowest possible.
