2. Turn the pulley by hand, and set the needle bar at the highest point.
3. Loosen the set screw (socket FT 4 x 4).

the needle thread block with the socket set screw (FT, M4X4).
*Key point
• Slant the needle thread block slightly to the left (approximately 1 degree) and attach it.
• Adjust so that the upper edge of the threading hook and the upper edge of the needle hole are at the same
height.
NOTE
• If the needle thread block is slanted to far to the left, the hook will not operate, and threading cannot be done
(Fig. 1).
• If the needle thread block is slanted too far to the right, the needle bar supporter assy. and the needle thread
block will come into contact and be damaged (Fig. 2).
