5-6-6. Pretension tension
1.
Raise the work clamp
q
and open the main tension disc
w
.
The thread take-up spring
e
should not operate when the thread is pulled in the direction of the arrow.
2.
Set the thread tension for the thread breakage detector pretension
r
to approx. 5 g.
Weaken the thread tension for the
machine head pretension
t
as much as possible.
Standard for balance of thread tension
Adjust the thread tensions so that the total tension for the pretensions
r
and
t
is lower than the tension for the
thread take -up spring.
NOTE
If misoperation of the thread breakage detector continues, repeat the adjustment procedure above.
(Such misoperation is most likely to occur when synthetic fiber yarns are used.)
