Thread breakage
Possible causes:
- Sharp edges or grooves in the needle guide, thread take-up lever,
looper
or needle’s eye after the machine has been used for a long time.
- Looper or loop stroke incorrectly adjusted or has been moved, the
thread loops are not always caught.
- Thread tension is too high
- Thread thickness does not correspond to the needle thickness
(thread too thick)
Solutions:
- Replace or repolish the damaged parts
- Correct the looper setting and/or loop stroke
- Correct the thread tension, check the thread movement.
- Choose a suitable thread thickness
Always observe: Thread movement, thread, needle plate with
corresponding plunger and cloth retainer, tested
needles and thread tension must correspond to the
sewing material being processed!
