Machine positions
CAUTION!
Injury hazard!
Entanglement hazard for clothing or hair and danger of
finger injuries and needle punctures! When checking the
positions while the machine is turned on, keep your
fingers and hands away from moving parts.
Machine with or without thread trimmer:
The machine requires a needle position and, depending on the sewing mode,
possibly a reference position.
Reference position:
The reference position must be set so that the tip of the needle closes
against the right (inner) edge of the needle slide plate facing towards the
inward stitch.
Needle position when stopped, inside and outside of the stitch
Adjust the needle position so that when the machine is at a standstill, the
hook of the thread blade can reliably catch the thread loop above the
gripper without touching it.
In conclusion, check this by manually actuating the thread trimmer.
Notes for sewing drives with more than needle positions:
The needle position given above is suitable for sewing at position 2.
It is very important to set position 1 in accordance with the operating
instructions pertaining to the chosen mode of sewing.
