Needle-to-Hook Timing
(2 of 2)
4.
When the needle gauge is in its
lowest position, it should touch the
middle of the red line of the gauge. If
the needle gauge hits before or after the
line on the gauge, an adjustment needs
to be made.
5.
Locate the two 2.5mm (tool size)
hexagon screws holding the timing gear
to the lower shaft.
6.
Using a 2.5mm hex screwdriver,
loosen both screws. While holding the
hand wheel, use your screwdriver as
leverage to adjust hook timing and
tighten the first screw.
Do not slide the
gear on the shaft while making this
adjustment.
7.
Make sure the tip of the shuttle hook
is touching the flat spot of the radial
gauge and recheck timing. If the
adjustment is correct, tighten the
second hex screw on the timing gear.
