snaps into place. The configured stitch length corresponds to the number
engraved in the handwheel as it comes to a standstill in the highest position.

desired stitch length noticeably snaps into place.

Adjusting the upper transporter
The transporter can be adjusted in its intrusion depth to the needle plate by
loosening the two fastening screws. If the stitch length is adjusted across
a greater range e.g., from 8 to 5, then the transporter should be readjusted.
Adjustments might also be required when changing to sewing materials that are
thicker or otherwise different in quality.
Here, observe the instructions given in the mechanic's manual.
