28 Husqvarna service manual 104 72 30-26
7 The gap between the hook and the needle
Requirements
Set the machine for straight stitching.
Insert a new needle 90.
Lay the back of the machine on the table.
Turn the handwheel until the tip of the hook gets
behind the needle (see fig.).
Press the hook against the driver.
The gap between the needle and the tip of
the hook should be as little as possible.
Comments
To enable the thread loop to go between
the hook and the driver a certain axial
play must be possible.
Contact between needle and hook can
therefore result and cause a sound, which can
be heard when the machine is running without thread.
This contact damages neither the hook nor
the needle, as long as a needle with a groove
according to system 705 H is used.
Adjustment
The position of the needle is adjusted by moving
the sewing head in the feeding direction.
Loosen the nut (A).
Shift the sewing head by turning the lower
adjustment nut (B) until the required position is reached.
Hold the adjustment nut in position and tighten
the locking nut.
Check the setting.
