1 Home position of the knives (at the extreme right end of their stroke)

Home position of the knives (at the extreme right end of their stroke)

Home position of the knives (at the extreme right end of their stroke)

Home position of the knives (at the extreme right end of their stroke)    

The home position of each knife varies according 
to the gauge. 
Adjust distance A by referring to the illustration 
and the table below. 
Then fasten collar B (see 3-1). 

 

Gauge Distance 

4.8-10-10-10 46.6mm 
5.0-13-13-13 45.6mm 

9.5-9.5-9.5 47.1mm 
8.5-8.5-8.5 46.1mm 
6.4-6.4-6.4 43.9mm 

 
 

4444----2 Upper knife at the extreme left end of its stroke

2 Upper knife at the extreme left end of its stroke

2 Upper knife at the extreme left end of its stroke

2 Upper knife at the extreme left end of its stroke    

Lower knife carrier A and upper knife carrier B 
move to the left simultaneously. 
Upper knife carrier B stops when reaching 
positioning stopper C. 

4444----3 Position of each lower knife

3 Position of each lower knife

3 Position of each lower knife

3 Position of each lower knife    

The lower knives should be parallel with each 
other.  Adjustment is made by loosening screws 
D.  Each distance between the points of the 
lower knives should be 6.5mm (see 4-6). 

4444----4 Position of the points of the lower knives

4 Position of the points of the lower knives

4 Position of the points of the lower knives

4 Position of the points of the lower knives    

When the loopers are at the extreme left end of their travel, move lower knives E to the 
left and then make sure the points of lower knives E are 0.7mm above the blades of the 
loopers. 

 

 

 

< Note > 
When operating the thread trimmer by hand, bring the needle to the top of its stroke.
