1 Position of the movable knife and the stationary knife    

■ 

Position of the movable knife 

Set the (a 1) part of the movable knife A parallel to 
the (g 1) part of the stationary holder G. 
Set the distance from point of movable knife A and 
the center of left screw H at approximately 
73.5mm. 

 
 

 
 

■ 

Relation between the stationary knife and the 

movable knife. 
Adjust the engagement between blade (a 3) for 
trimming looper thread and stationary knife to be 
0.5mm when movable knife is at the extreme right. 
So that the point of blade (a 2) for cutting needle 
thread pass the corner (b 1) of stationary knife B. 
The adjustment is made by loosening screw C. 
Note that the looper thread clamp spring is 
simultaneously loosened.
