16.3 Setting the cutting pressure
The shape of the thread-pulling knife automatically creates the required
cutting pressure as soon as the thread-pulling knife and counter-blade
make contact.
Correct setting
In the rest position, the lower thread clamp makes contact with the thread-
pulling knife without any pressure being applied. Two threads with the
greatest strength for sewing can be neatly cut simultaneously.
Faults caused by an incorrect setting
•
Increased knife wear when the pressure is too great
•
Problems when sewing on if the hook thread clamp is too high
•
Problems in cutting the thread
