When the needle moves down, the clearance of the
spreader point to the front of the needle should be
1.8 to 2.0 mm (17). With some Kevlar threads this
clearance may have to be closer, 1.5 to 1.0 mm, to
prevent the looper thread from slipping off of the
spreader before the needle enters the triangle.
When using the tighter clearances turn the Hand
wheel to make sure that the spreader point, when
moving to the left, does not hit the needle and that
it doesn’t pick up the needle thread as it passes
over the looper, when moving to the right.
The clearance of the spreader point to the needle
(17) is made by loosening the screw (18) on the
spreader holder and moving the spreader forward
or backward as needed.
The height of the teeth of the feed dog (19) should
be set to ½ of a tooth out of the throat plate at the
feed dog’s highest position.
