SETTING

THE

LOWER

KNIFE

Replace

lower

knife

holder

assembly.

Lower

knife

(A,

Fig.

13)

should

be

set

with

cutting

edge

flush

with

throat

plate

surface.

Adjustments

are

made

with

hexagonal

head

screw

which

holds

lower

knife.

Lower

knife

is

spring

pressed

against

upper

knife,

so

no

lateral

adjustment

is

necessary

when

width

of

trim

is

changed.

Lower

knife

may

be

secured

in

any

position

by

tighten-

ing

screw

and

locking

nut

(C)

against

support

bracket.

Because

13)

in

position,

setting

nut

in

its

most

clockwise

position

against

upper

knife.

At

bottom

of

its

should

extend

not

1E:3

s

than

1/64

inch

below

The

chain

guard

(G)

should

be

from

the

cutting

edge.

After

upper

knife

has

been

set

for

screw

(H)

should

be

tightened

to

lock

This

will

simplify

knife

is

replaced.

SETTING

THE

STITCH

LENGTH

The

main

and

differential

feed

controls

are

in-

dependent

of

each

other.

The

right

knurled

knob

marked

"l\IAIN"

is

for

adjusting

the

main

stitch

length.

The

left

hand

knurled

knob

marked

"DIFF"

is

for

adjusting

the

differential

stitch

length.

The

forward

letter

marking

"L"

indicates

the

longest

stitch

length,

while

the

most

rearward

letter

marking

"S"

indicates

the

shortest

stitch

length.

Therefore,

moving

the

indicator

pointers

of

the

main

and

differential

controls

rearward

shortens

the

stitch

length.

To

obtain

the

proper

stitch

length,

Fig.

12

set

the

main

and

differential

feed

dogs

to

have

the

same

feed

travel.

AdJust

accord-

ingly

until

the

desired

stitch

length

is

obtained.

NOTE:

See

Page

After

stitch

length

is

set

and

reverse

differential

feed

is

desired,

turn

the

differential

knob

to

a

shorter

stitch

length

until

the

desired

s

earn

is

obtained.

If

differential

feed

is

desired,

turn

the

differential

knob

to

a

longer

stitch

length

until

the

desired

seam

is

ob-

tained.

As

a

precaution,

after

setting

the-

stitch

length,

check

the

travel

of

the

feed

dogs

to

make

sure

that

there

is

clearance

between

the

throat

plate

slots

and

the

main

and

PRESSER

FOOT

Assemble

the

presser

foot

to

presser

arm.

With

needle

in

high

position,

swing

presser

arm

into

sewing

position

and

set

the

presser

foot

to

align

needle

holes

(front

and

back)

and

flat

on

throat

plate.

The

front

edge

of

needle

hole

in

presser

foot

must

be

aligned

with

front

edge

ofneedle

hole

in

throat

plate.

It

is

also

important

that

the

bottom

of

the

presser

foot

be

flat

on

the

throat

plate.

If

necessary,

presser

foot

can

be

realigned

with

throat

plate

slots

by

shifting

the

foot

lifter

lever

shaft

(H,

Fig.

14).

To

move

the

shaft,

loosen

collar

screws

(B,

Fig.

14)

and

clamp

screw

(G)

and

then

shift

the

foot

lifter

lever

shaft

to

the

left

or

right

as

required.

Re-

tighten

collar

screws

and

clamp

screw.

The

foot

lifter

lever

arm

(A,

Fig.

14)

and

the

collar

(B)

secure

the

shaft.

Be

sure

the

presser

arm

does

not

bind

and

rise

when

unlocked.

Adjust

lifter

lever

stop

screw

(C)

so

that

presser

foot

can

be

raised

no

higher

than

upper

looper

will

permit;

then

lock

the

nut

(D).

There

should

be

from

1I

16

to

1I8

inch

free

motion

of

foot

lifter

lever

before

the

presser

foot

begins

to

rise.

This

adjustment

should

be

made

with

screw

(E)

and

locked

with

nut

(F).

Re-assemble

the

chip

guard,

fabric

guard

and

cloth

plate.

To

assemble

chip

guard,

turn

handwheel

until

upper

knife

assembly

reaches

its

highest

position.

STARTING

TO

OPERATE

Be

sure

machine

is

threaded

according

to

threading

diagram

(Fig.

1).

With

thread

tensions

light,

set

looper

thread

eyelets

(N

and

R)

about

horizontal

and

in

the

middle

of

their

front

to

back

locations.

Operate

machine

slowly,

without

presser

foot

in

place,

to

make

sure

that

chain

forms

and

moves

off

the

tongue

freely.

Swing

presser

foot

into

position,

insert

material

and

sew

slowly.

NEEDLE

THREAD

CONTROL

While

sewing

on

material,

check

needle

thread

control

as

follows:

Usually

all

needle

thread

is

drawn

on

needle

downstroke.

At

top

of

needle

stroke,

thread

should

be

just

tight

enough

to

feed

chain

off

stitch

tongue.

Stitch

tends

to

pull

down

slightly

if

excessive

thread

is

pulled

on

the

upstroke.

With

needle

at

bottom

of

stroke,

posi-

tion

needle

thread

eyelet

(AD,

Fig.

1)

so

that

needle

thread

cam

pull-off

(AE)

just

contacts

needle

thread.

It

is

desirable

to

adjust

the

needle

thread

pull-off

eyelet

well-forward

(toward

the

operator)

to

delay,

slightly,

the

tightening

of

the

needle

thread.
