⑵ Needle height
When the end tip of the looper passes the left needle center, it must pass the needle groove at 0.5~1.0 mm off from the
upper part. In other words, the height of the needle is set by the looper.
Using a driver, unfasten the screw① of the needle bar holder through a hole in the face plate and adjust the needle bar up
and down to get the right needle height.
