MACHINE OVERVIEW
REMOVING DRIVE BARS OR NEEDLES
In order to remove the drive bar or needle from the Clip-on Armature, gently pull the bar up from the front of
the armature between the armature pin and machine vise. Do not attempt to pry off the bar from the rear or the
machine or by using additional tools as this could cause damage to the Armature Clip.
Next, loosen the adjustable tensioner by turning the knob clockwise, and gently remove the needle bar from the
front of the machine by pulling it under the tensioner O-ring.
REPLACING THE TENSIONER O-RING
In order to change the tensioner O-ring, begin by turning the Tensioner Knob clockwise until the Tensioner Base
is freed from the Tensioner Knob.
Carefully remove the Tensioner Base ensuring the spring contained within the base’s threads is kept in place.
Next, gently remove the O-ring from the O-ring clip of the tensioner base, and insert a new O-ring into the O-ring
clip. Once the O-ring is in place, insert the O-ring and Tensioner Base into the machine with the O-ring pointing
towards the vise of the machine until the threading of the Tensioner Base is coupled with the Tensioner Knob. It is
important that the O-ring is inserted facing the proper direction as an O-ring aligned closer toward the armature
of the machine will not enable proper machine function.
Once inserted, tighten the Tensioner Knob counter clockwise in order to secure the new tensioner O-ring and base
into place.
