3.1 Hook and the hook post
3.1.1 Description
The hook (1) is mounted on the shaft (2) and is driven by the gear
(3) from the shaft (4).
The shaft of the hook (2) is mounted on the top in a sliding bearing
and, on the bottom, in a needle bearing.
The hook is provided with a lever (6) which is tilted when removing
the bobbin (7). The protecting sheet (8) protects against the
collision of the needle with the hook point. The bobbin case opener
(9) is driven by the eccentric (10) on the shaft (2).
The lubricating tube (11), on which a lubricating wick is fastened
in the tube (12), feeds oil for lubricating the sliding bearing (5) of
the eccentric (10) and the hook path.
The screws (13) serve for taking up the clearance of the gear. The
screws (14) fasten the post to the bedplate.
The lubricating felt (15) is connected by the wick (16) with the
main lubricating system and serves for lubricating the gear (3).
3.1.2 Height setting of the hook
The designated distance „A“ should be 6.1 mm.
Caution! Danger of injury!
Switch off the main switch ! Before starting the setting
operation, wait until the motor stops!
- Loosen both screws (2).
- By turning the screws (3 and 4), set the required distance„A“.
After having set it, tighten carefully the screws.
- By axial shifting of the gear wheel (5), set the axial clearance
in such a way that this clearance is the least possible, but
sufficient for turning easily the hook.
- Tighten carefully the screws (2). Caution ! One of these screws
must bear on the flat of the shaft 6).
3.1.3 Setting the distance of the hook from
the needle
The hook point (1) is set up to the maximum distance of 0.1
mm from the bottom of the needle recess (2). For the sewing
categories 1 and 2, the needle size 90 is set, for the sewing
categories 3 and 4, it is the needle size 160.
Caution! Danger of injury!
Switch off the main switch ! Before starting the setting
operation, wait until the motor stops!
- Shift the plate (3).
- Loosen only one screw (4).
- Loosen the screws (5) and tighten them only slightly.
- Shift the hook post (6) at the determined distance between the
needle and the hook point.
- Tighten carefully the screw (4) (be sure not to damage the
threads!)
- Tighten duly the screws (5).
- Check up the setting using a narrow strip of thin paper and
proceed to the eventual correction of setting.
