1.Move solenoid arm q in the direction of the arrow with your finger. Loosen three bolts e and adjust thread hook w for smooth movements.

2.If there is a difference in motion between needle bars No. 1 and No. 9 (No. 12 for BES-1262BC), loosen four screws r and make an adjustment by moving thread presser base t in the direction of the arrow.

Make sure that no interference will occur when pressure foot y is raised by the solenoid.

3.Move finger guard plate u up and down, and align the top of finger guard i with the tips of the needles.

4.After the above steps are complete, check thread hook w for smooth movements.

If the thread hook does not move smoothly, apply grease (Grease Tank BR2 (black)) to the gray part of thread guide solenoid base !0and check its movements.

Note) • Care should be taken if the finger guard is inclined. If the finger guard in such a state is pushed exces- sively toward the needle at the time of color change, it may interfere with the presser foot.

Then make an adjustment in the crosswise direction by sliding bolt o of finger guard i.
