1. General Observation of the Front Frame Cover, Mast and Hand Wheel
The following observations, accompanied by neces-
sary adjustments, will ensure trouble-free thread
passage. Failure at any of these points will signifi -
cantly affect thread tension.
Check:
1. The thread mast should be adjusted so that the
eyelet loops are centered directly over the spool pins.
(Figures 1.1 a & 1.1 b)
If a correction is necessary:
Loosen the jam nut, reposition and tighten the jam
nut.

Check:
2. Make sure that a gap of 1.0 mm to 1.5 mm ex-
ists between the frame and the hand wheel. (Note:
The hand wheel screw is inside the front cover and
cannot be seen from the outside of the machine,
therefore it can only be adjusted with the front cover
removed.)
(Figure 1.2)
If a correction is necessary:
(Usually this would only be necessary if the hand
wheel is rubbing, has an extreme gap or is loose.)
Remove the front cover (see Section 2), loosen the
hand-wheel set screw, position the hand wheel and
re-tighten the set screw.
