6. Adjustment of the pressure of the work clamp unit

The pressure of the work clamp unit should be minimized as 
long  as  the  material  does  not  warp  during  sewing.  Loosen 
adjusting screw 

 and turn adjusting screw 

 to obtain the 

aforementioned pressure.

WARNING :

Turn OFF the power before starting the work so as to prevent accidents caused by abrupt start of the 
sewing machine.

8. Adjustment of the wiper spring

Wiper spring 

 retains the needle thread after thread trimming 

in  between  wiper 

  and  the  wiper  spring.  Correct  properly 

the tension of wiper spring 

 so that the tension at that time 

becomes  0.2  to  0.3N  (a  little  higher  tension  than  that  of  the 
bobbin thread coming out of the bobbin case).

(Caution)
 

If the retaining of the needle thread is excessive, 
the thread may protrude from the upper side of the 
button.

7. Adjustment of the wiper

WARNING :

Turn OFF the power before starting the work so as to prevent accidents caused by abrupt start of the 
sewing machine.

WARNING :

Turn OFF the power before starting the work so as to prevent accidents caused by abrupt start of the 
sewing machine.

1)  Loosen screw 

 to adjust so that a clearance of 2.5 mm 

or more is provided between the wiper and the needle.

2)  Loosen screw 

 to adjust so that a distance of 15 to 17 

mm  is  provided  between  the  end  face  of  the  wiper  and 
the  center  of  the  needle. After  the  adjustment,  securely 
tighten the screw.

(Caution) 
 

The  position  of  the  needle  is  when  the  sewing 
machine has stopped after the sewing finished.

2.5 mm

15 – 17 mm
