4 To install the tape guide    

Install tape guide shaft A as close to the needle as possible, 
but the machine must sew the fabric smoothly. 
To adjust the tape guide, loosen screw B and turn eccentric 
collar C clockwise or counterclockwise. 
The eccentric collar serves as a stopper, so install the 
eccentric collar properly so that it does not touch the needle 
holder and spreader thread guide, etc.

To adjust the feeding amount of the lace / elastic, loosen 
wing nut A and turn adjusting screw C while checking the 
readings on lever B.    To increase the amount, turn screw C 
clockwise.  To decrease the amount, turn screw C 
counterclockwise.  Adjustable from 0.9 to 2.3mm.  Adjust 
according to the fabric and/or elastic to be used.    Adjust the 
pressure of the elastic feed small roller (see 11-6) 
simultaneously. 
To increase the amount a little more, loosen two eccentric 
set screws from hole D.    Turn the handwheel all the way to 
MAX with the wrench inserted until the handwheel stops 
and then tighten the set screws.  This increases the 
adjustable range from 1.4 to 3.6mm.

 the performance of the elastic feeder

 the performance of the elastic feeder

 the performance of the elastic feeder    

If the elastic feeder does not work well, it will not feed elastic uniformly, causing various 
kinds of trouble such as burned elastic, jammed elastic, needle breakage, uneven sewing.   
Check the following. 

1.  Adjust small roller A so that it can turn easily. 

If it does not, the tape cannot be fed neatly. 

2.  The roller link and its shaft should move smoothly. 
3.  The small roller spring pressure should be as light as possible, yet be sufficient to 

follow the roller speed. 

 

 

 

 

< Note > 

Decrease the pressure for stretchable lace elastic. 

Increase the pressure for non-stretchable lace elastic.
