9-3. Adjusting the needle clearance
Turn the machine pulley to align the tip of the shuttle hook with the needle center line. Then loosen the set screw (1)
and turn the eccentric shaft (2) to adjust so th at the clearance between the needle and the shuttl e hook is 0.01 - 0.08 mm.
9-4. Adjusting the driver needle guard
Turn the machine pulley to align the tip of the shuttle hook with the needle center line. Then loosen the set screw (2)
and turn the eccentric shaft (3) to adjust so that the driver needle guard (1) cont acts the needle. If the needle contact
pressure is too great, skipped stitches may occur. On the other hand, if the driver needle guard (1) is not touching the
needle, the tip of the inner shuttle hook will obstruct the needle, resulting in an excessively high amount of friction.
9-5. Adjusti ng the shuttle race thread guide
The needle groove of the shuttle race thread guide (1) should be aligne d with the center of the needle plate hole, and the
needle center and section A should be aligned.
Note
If the shuttle race thread guide is in the wrong position, thread breakages, soiled thread or catching of the thread may occur.
