Needle bar height, play of needle to hook tip, loop stroke

Rule:

When the handwheel pointer indicates “205” degrees (2.5-mm loop
stroke), the hook tip should stand at the needle axis at the stitch length
0. Length (A) = 1.5 mm, clearance gap (B) = 0.02 to 0.1 mm.

Turn the handwheel in the loop stroke position (2.5 mm) with the
indicator pointing to 205.

Loosen screws (1). Turn the hook tip (2) on the needle axis.

Loosen screw (3). Position the needle bar with the needle to the
dimension (A). Tighten screw (3).

Loosen two screws (4) and screw (5). Move the hook column (6)
from the needle.

Tighten screws (4) gently. With the help of screw (7), move the
hook column (6) to the clearance distance (B). Tighten screws (4)
and (5).

Verify that the hook tip (2) is in the area of the needle axis.
Tighten screws (1).
