Norma Jean Sewing Machine Cabinet

The Air Lift has 3 positions for your sewing machine: storage, flatbed and freearm. The flatbed
position is the second position on the Air Lift and is the position most sewers will sew in. The tip
of the needle on your sewing machine should be level with the edge of the cabinet for proper
positioning in the flatbed position as seen in the below picture. If your needle is sitting too far down
in the cabinet or too far above the edge of the cabinet you will need to adjust your Air Lift.
Follow these simply instructions for adjustment of your Air Lift:
1. Place your sewing machine on the platform inside the cabinet.
2. Place the Air lift mechanism in the top position or freearm position.
3. Tuck your head under the cabinet looking at the Air Lift Mechanism.
4. You will notice the Air Lift has 3 black square boxes on it. The middle black square box has a
scale behind it.
5. Go to the middle black square box and loosen the 2 silver hex nuts using an 8 mm wrench.
6. Move the platform where your sewing machine is sitting down to the desired flatbed position.
Remember the tip of the needle should be level with the edge of the cabinet.
7. Once you have the desired position look under the cabinet at the scale to see what mark the
scale is at.
8. Move the platform back to the top position or freearm position.
9. Move the black square box to the correct number on the scale and re-tighten down the hex
nuts using an 8 mm wrench.
*The adjustment may take 2 or 3 times before it is right.
If the platform returns to its original flatbed position you have not tightened the hex nuts down tight
enough.
