3. When replacing an old shoe, make sure that the replacement shoe properly fits the pin without
binding and without excessive looseness. In the event that the pin has worn and does not fit the
new shoe properly, it should be replaced at the same time as the shoe-pin. After replacing the
shoe, shoe pin spring into shoe eccentric barrel, retighten screws (item “B” Figure 8), and
check to insure that the center of the shoe is lined up with the center of the rib. Also insure that
the shoe clears both sides of the opening of the presser foot.
4. In and out position of shoe should now be checked. For light fabrics, shoe should be as close
to needle as possible. For heavy fabrics with seam, shoe should be set back as far as possible
from needle. To move shoe in and out turn eccentric barrel (item “I” Figure 8). After the correct
location is established, be sure to tighten screws, (item “B” Figure 8).
4A. An additional shoe adjustment is also possible. The height of the shoe can now be controlled,
(item “H” in Figure 8). This is a tapered pin and position can be adjusted so that the shoe,
whenever required, can be controlled as far as elevation is concerned. By moving the tapered
pin in or out the shoe can be kept from pressing down on some fabrics which require little, if any
shoe pressure. By having this control, it sometimes will aid in penetration of difficult fabrics. The
normal position of the shoe, when set properly on most fabrics, is that the shoe will show movement
on the penetration cycle on one ply of fabric.
D. REPLACING THE CHAIN OFF PIN
1. After considerable service, it may become necessary to replace the chain off pin,
(Item “D” in Figure 7).
2. Remove the chain off pin attaching screw and remove the chain off pin, clean out any lint or
dirt that may have accumulated. Attach the new chain off pin, using the screw previously
removed. Insure that the chain off pin is against the side and forward edge of the slot in the
presser foot, and then tighten the screw.
