E. REPLACING THE FEEDER
1. In the event that the machine develops difficulty by failing to properly feed the work, a worn feeder
is frequently found to be the cause. After considerable service, especially with certain hard fabrics,
the feeder teeth have a tendency to become dull, and the feeder should be replaced. In order to
remove the old feeder, remove the front feeder attaching screw (item “B” in Figure 9) and loosen
the rear feeder attaching screw (item “C” in Figure 9). The old feeder may then be slid out of place.
Insert the new feeder under the rear screw and replace the front screw.
2. Before tightening the attaching screws check to see that the feeder is set to the proper depth.
Referring to Figure 10 this should be approximately 1/32” (.795m below and parallel to the bottom
of the presserfoot for all light and medium weight fabrics. For heavy fabrics, the setting should be
approximately 1/16” (1.59mm) below and parallel to the bottom of the presserfoot. These dimensions
are intend as guides and may be modified as required by the specific fabrics. Once the proper
depth is established, rotate the handwheel slowly in a direction away from the operator and check
to insure that the feeder clears the looper (see Figure 9, Point “H”) and also clears both sides of
the feeder slot in the presserfoot. Firmly tighten fee attaching screws (Figure 9, Items “B” & “C”)
before resuming sewing.
