9-3. Adjusting the needle clearance 0.01 - 0.08mm 9. Standard adjutsments Turn the machine pulley to align the tip of the rotary hook with the needle center line. Then loosen the set screw 0 and turn the eccentric shaft 0 to adjust so that the clearance between the needle and the rotary hook is 0.01 - 0.08 mm. 9-4. Adjusting the driver needle gurard 6 Turn the machine pulley to align the tip of the rotary hook with the needle center line. Then loosen the set screw 0 and turn the eccentric shaft 0 to adjust so that the driver needle guard 0 contacts the needle. If the needle contact pressure is too great, skipped stitches may occur. On the other hand, if the driver needle guard 0 is not touching the needle, the tip of the inner rotary hook will obstruct the needle, resulting in an excessively high amount of friction. 9-5. Adjusting the shuttle race thread guide O O O The needle groove of the shuttle race thread guide 0 should be aligned with the center of the needle plate hole, and the needle center and the angled section ® should be aligned. NOTE If the shuttle race thread guide is in the wrong position, thread breakages, soiled thread or catching of the thread may occur. BAS-341E • 342E 33
