Upper tension (20) A = Setting mark. The normal tension setting is in the light-coloured range between 3 and 5, depending on the work. The higher the num ber, the tighter the tension. Lower tension B = Regulating screw. Turn it left for a looser tension, or right for a tighter tension. C = Correct thread tension. D = Upper tension too loose or lower tension too tight. E = Lower tension too loose or upper tension too tight. 4 The correct 'ower tension Let the bobbin case with a full bobbin hang down freely by the thread. It must not slTde down by its own weight, but should gradually move downwards wher you jerk your hand upwards lightly. Once the lower tension has been set cor rectly, adjust the upper tension only. 4 / \_\ 1 I 4 4 )
