1. Loosen the two screws (3) and shift the entire solenoid setting plate (4) up or down to adjust so that the thread wiper (2) is

15 mm in front of the needle center when the plunger (1) of the thread wiper solenoid is driven to the full stroke.

2. Loosen the screw (5) and adjust the position of the thread wiper (2) so that the distance from the thread wiper to the tip of

the needle is approximately 2 mm and the tip of the thread wiper (2) is approximately 3 mm from the center of the needle

when the thread wiper (2) passes below the needle during operation.

NOTE:

Check that the thread wiper (2) does not touch the finger guard (6).
