12. Broken needles
¡
Is the material being pushed or pulled with excessive force during
sewing?
¡
Does the needle pass the center of the needle hole in the feed dog?
Check the needle down position. If the needle does not drop into the
middle of the needle hole in the feed dog, adjust the position of the
feed dog.
If the needle bar has been turned, turn it again to set it to the cor-
rect position.
Caution
¡
It is extremely dangerous to leave any pieces of broken needle
sticking in the material. If the needle breaks, search for all pieces
until the whole of the needle is found again.
¡
Furthermore, we recommend that thorough steps be taken to ac-
count for such needles to comply with product liability regula-
tions.
