6 Adjusting the movable knife up and down    

There should be a clearance of 0.2mm between movable knife and the top surface of 
looper. 
The adjustment is made by loosening nut X and moving stationary knife holder (W). 
After the above adjustment, make sure the movable and stationary knife holders move 
smoothly.    Do not adjust this clearance by changing the height of the looper. 
Otherwise it 
may cause skip 
stitching.

After all the adjustments are made, check the following 
before threading to start the machine. 

■ 

Movable knife A should enter needle thread loops B. 

Cutting edge C for the looper thread should pass looper 
thread D. 

 
 
 
 
 
 

■ 

When the movable knife is returning home, the needle 

threads and looper thread are pulled to the right by 
cutting edges E and F and cut by the stationary knife.

The looper thread clamp spring holds the looper thread 
after it is cut.    To adjust the pressure of thread clamp 
spring H, turn adjusting screw G.    To increase the 
pressure, turn it clockwise.    To decrease the pressure, 
turn it counterclockwise.    The machine is supplied with a 
spun thread (#60).    The pressure of the thread clamp 
spring is factory-set at approximately 90g. 
Adjust the pressure for other threads.
