The distance from the top surface of the needle
plate to the bottom surface of the spreader should
be 7~8mm. When the point of the thread carrying
notch passes the left needle, the clearance between
the point of the carrying notch and the left needle
should be 0.5~1mm. With the spreader at the
extreme left end of its travel, the distance from the
center of the left needle to the point of the thread
carrying notch should be 5~6.5mm.
Adjustments are made by loosening screws A and
B.

On W8042 and W8042-1
On these types of machines the needles are shifted
front to back, so the threads are pushed backward
by the auxiliary guide.
With the spreader at the extreme left end of its
travel, install the spreader correctly as shown in
the illustration. Adjustment is made by loosening
screws C.

Set the clearance between spreader thread eyelet B
and spreader A at 0.5~0.8mm.
With the spreader at the extreme right end of its
travel, align point (a) of the spreader thread
carrying notch with the center of the slot on the
spreader thread eyelet. With the needle bar at the
bottom of its stroke, set the clearance between
spreader thread eyelet B and spreader thread
eyelet C at 1mm and align the eye of spreader
thread eyelet C with the center line of the slot on
spreader thread eyelet B.
Adjustments are made by loosening four screws D
and screw E and moving each spreader thread
eyelet up or down, or left or right.
