11-8) CORRECT POSITION OF NEEDLE
① Make sure to check the position of the needle - it may change during machine delivery or leveling. First check
if the needle is bent. Then turn the main shaft lever to set the shaft at around 130°. Position the needle at the
lower dead stop and check if the needle is at the center of the needle hole on the plate.
② If the needle is not in the correct position, unscrew the brackets (two screws) to adjust the head and the needle
(see [Fig.11-17]).
