knife to the needle bar is larger than
the specified value, the distance
from the front bar-tacking and the
knife hole is increased and the rear
bar-tacking may be cut.

the knife installing base comes in
contact with the jaw section of the
machine arm and a big noise
occurs.

If the distance is excessively large,
the knife may come out under the
presser when the presser is lifted.
