Note: The stitch width can be increased by adjust- ing the knife (page 25). - The left needle stitch width can be in- creased from 5.7mm (7/32inch) to 7.2mm (9/32inch). - The right needle stitch width can be increased from 3.5mm (9/64inch) to 5.0mm (13/64inch). 14. HOW TO ADJUST THREAD TENSION * The thread tension dials on this machine are a oneturn system. * As the number increases on the dial the thread tension becomes tighter. 0 = lowest tension 9 = highest tension * Be sure the machine is correctly threaded otherwise proper thread tension cannot be obtained. * When making adjustments to balance the tensions, it is recommended that 1) Adjustments be made in no greater than half a number at a time. 2) Sew a test sample after each adjustment. 5.7mm (7/32") I 2 5.7mm (7/32") C 3.5mm (9/64") 1 2 2 3 3 Current Setting is 114.

HOW
TO
ADJUST
THREAD
TENSION
*
The
thread
tension
dials
on
this
machine
are
a
one
-
turn
system.
*
As
the
number
increases
on
the
dial
the
thread
tension
becomes
tighter.
0
=
lowest
tension
9
=
highest
tension
*
Be
sure
the
machine
is
correctly
threaded
other-
wise
proper
thread
tension
cannot
be
obtained.
*
When
making
adjustments
to
balance
the
tensions,
it
is
recommended
that
1)
Adjustments
be
made
in
no
greater
than
half
a
number
at
a
time.
2)
Sew
a
test
sample
after
each
adjustment.
