[5] Vertical Position of the Temple Cover
(1) Loosen a bolt 3.
(2) Make the top face A of the temple cover 1 flush with
the top face B of the temple cover 2.
(3) Tighten the bolt 3 to fix the temple cover.
Never operate the loom during the above work.
Otherwise, your hand may be caught between the
reed and temple cover 1.
[6] Adjustment of Fell Plate Position
(1) Loosen a bolt 2 that fixes a fell plate 1.
(2) Set the height of a fell plate 1
(height differs by fabric).
[Tentative adjustment]
Set the height of the fell plate 1 so that it will be 6
mm vertically from the face A of a fell plate
bracket 3. At this time, check that the lower face
of the temple cover 4 and the top face of the fell
plate 1 are at the same height.
[Fine adjustment]
Set the upper jaw of reed 5 and the fabric surface
6 so that they will have a clearance of 1 mm in the
plain weaving state.
(3) Determine the left- and right-hand positions so that
the fell plate 1 will be 3 to 4 mm inside the cover
than a face B of the temple cover 4 on both the left-
hand and right-hand sides of the loom.
(4) Fix the fell plate 1 by tightening the bolt 2.
