Thread tension
À
ne tuning
Thread tension is automatically set when selecting a stitch type with the Auto Tension Dial (ATD), but it may have to
be
À
ne tuned with the
À
ne tuning levers depending on:
• Type and thickness of the fabric
• Needle size
• Size, type and
À
bre content of the thread
2-thread overlock
When the lower looper thread lies on the underside of the
fabric
Move the lower looper thread tension
À
ne tuning lever
(yellow) toward a higher position.
Or, move the needle thread tension
À
ne tuning lever (blue
or green) toward a lower position.
When the needle thread tension is too loose
Move the needle thread tension
À
ne tuning lever (blue or
green) toward a higher position.
Or, move the lower looper thread tension
À
ne tuning lever
(yellow) toward a lower position.
2-thread overlock, wrap
When the lower looper thread tension is too tight or needle
thread tension is too loose
Move the lower looper thread tension
À
ne tuning lever
(yellow) toward a lower position.
Or, move the needle thread tension
À
ne tuning lever (blue
or green) toward a higher position.
When the lower looper thread tension is too loose

À
ne tuning lever
(yellow) toward a higher position.
3-thread
Á
atlock stitch
When the lower looper thread tension is too loose
