10-4. Adjusting the auxiliary tension
The auxiliary tension is adjusted by turning the tension nut
(1).
10-5. Adjusting the rotor
The standard position for the rotor (1) at the sewing machine
stopping position is the position where the <1.5> scale
indicator should be aligned with the index mark (2).
1.
Loosen the screw (3), and turn the rotor (1) to adjust the
position.
2.
Tighten the screw (3).
The higher the scale setting, the greater is the amount of
thread take-up.
!
If the thread end hangs out at the first stitch buttonhole,
reduce the rotor (1) setting. (Fig.A)
!
If the thread end hangs out at the second stitch buttonhole,
increase the rotor (1) setting. (Fig.B)0
10-6. Adjusting the presser arm pressure
Adjust the pressure to be as weak as possible so that the
material does not slip when it is pulled gently.
1.
Loosen the nut (1), and then turn the nut (2) to adjust the
pressure.
2.
Tighten the nut (1).
