The needle position adjustment is the most important
of all adjustments in the machine. Needle position
provides the foundation for which all other settings
are made .
Once the needle position has been completed, great
care must be maintained to keep this setting. It is
important that the sewing machine be transported
carefully, so as to not allow bumping or dropping.
Check:
• Use a new System 134/Size 100 needle. Check the
needle for straightness on a flat surface such as the
needle plate . The needle must be centered in the
stitch hole of the needle plate as shown in
(Figure
10.1.) 2 mm and 3 mm handle hex tool
Check with needle eye flush with the needle plate,
not with the needle in the lowest position.
Adjustment for Y axis:
Cover Off
Note that adjustment is done with the front frame
cover off.
If a correction is necessary:
• Loosen first screws D and G
(Figure 10.2)
• Loosen screw A and screw B
(Figure 10.2)
While pushing the head frame back into the main
casting, gently slide the head frame left or right to
correct as necessary .
• Tighten screws A and B in
Figure 10.2
.
Note: If needle position changes, repeat the process.
Do not tighten screw D or G at this time.
