TEXI Tronic 5 operation manual
24. Setting thread guide
1. During sewing of thick materials, the thread guide
[1] should be shifted to the left (direction A) in order
to increase the length of thread pulled by the thread
take-up.
2. During sewing of light materials, the thread guide [1]
should be shifted to the right (direction B) in order to
decrease the length of thread pulled by the thread
take-up.
3. Normally, the thread guide [1] is set so that the
marker line [C] is leveled with the center of the
screw.
25. Adjusting of needle stop position
1. Needle position after thread cutting
After stopping the machine and cutting the thread, the needle should be set to its highest location. Then the dis-
tance between the upper surface of the needle plate and the needle point is equal to:
- for medium materials in a range from 1—20 mm (red point A on the back guard is leveled with red point B on the
pulley);
- for heavy materials in a range from 10—14 mm (red point A is level with red point E on the upper wheel).
2. In order to change the needle position, two screws [1] should be loosened, and then the needle can be placed in
the long recess.
1) If the screw is moved in direction C, the needle bar stops at its highest point;
2) If the screw is moved in direction D, the needle bar stops at its lowest point;
Attention: The screw should be loosened, not unscrewed.
