7. After completing the adjustment, thoroughly oil the feed lever and eccentric, particularly in the
area indicated by “D” in Figure 5; and replace the side cover.
I. REPLACING THE NEEDLE
1. U.S. needles are designed and manufactured specifically to meet the precise sewing requirements
of the U.S. BLIND STITCH MACHINES. Because of the importance of a properly designed needle
in achieving consistent high quality stitching, it is extremely important that only GENUINE U.S.
NEEDLES be used at all times.
2. When it becomes necessary to replace worn or damaged needles, the following procedure
should be followed:
a. Turn the penetration dial to the right (“Less”) three or four numbers to insure that the rib is
lowered sufficiently to clear the needle.
b. Loosen the needle clamp screw (item “C” in Figure 1), slide the clamp rearward sufficiently
to release the old needle, and remove and discard it. Insert the new needle and push it up into the
groove of the needle lever as far as it will go. Make sure that the flat on the shank of the needle
faces rearward and the needle is properly seated in the groove. Tighten the needle clamp screw
and turn the handwheel slowly making sure that the needle passes lightly over the needle guide on
the presser foot and clears the looper. Readjust the needle penetration as described in a previous
section, prior to resuming operation.
