7-9-2.2 Mutual relation among the movable and stationary knife
edge
1) Rotate the movable knife (No.1) by hand when it is
engaged with the stationary knife (No.2), there is 0.3mm
space between the movable and stationary knife edges.
This is standard condition.
2) If this space is too wide, it causes a thread tail from the
needle to be pulled out after the automatic thread
trimming. And if it is too narrow, it causes the failure of the
trimming.
For avoiding these incidents, please adjust this space
precisely.
3) For this adjustment, suitably move the knife bracket or
the knife mounting unit mentioned at above 7-9-2.1.
