per orbit    

When the looper moves around the needles, the 
point of the looper barely touches the needle. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

■ 

To change the looper's orbit, loosen screw B on 

eccentric A and shift the timing mark by moving 
eccentric A front or back. 
The timing mark is factory-set for standard. 
Do not change the orbit extremely. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The timing mark is at point E : standard 

 

When the timing mark is at point C, The clearance 
between the point of the looper and the left needle 
when the looper moves to the left decreases. 
The clearance when the looper moves to the right 
increases.    Then the point of the looper touches the 
right needle.  Skip stitching may occur when the 
looper moves to the right. A thread chain is not 
produced smoothly. 

 

When the timing mark is at point D, The clearance 
between the point of the looper and the left needle 
increases.  Skip stitching may occur when the 
looper moves to the left.  The needle extremely 
touches the back of the looper, causing needle 
breakage. 

 

 

 

 

 

< Note > 

To sew under good conditions, after changing the 

amount of the looper front-to-back movement adjust 

the looper orbit by moving the timing mark slightly 

to C or D.
