When test mode "5" is selected, turn the balance wheel so that the needle meets the rotary hook point. At this time,
the clearance between the upper end of the needle eye and the bottom of the rotary hook point should be 1.0-1.4
mm.
ADJUSTMENT
1. Select test mode "5".
2. Turn the balance wheel so that the needle meets the rotary hook point.

4. Move the needle bar vertically to adjust the clearance to between 1.0-1.4 mm.
5. Tighten the screw of the needle bar block assembly.
NOTE: The needle bar clamp should be parallel to the side of the needle plate. If the needle bar is loose when
you adjust the needle bar height, it may result in sewing troubles.
