SEWING

THREAD LOOP SIZE The proper size of the thread loop for average sewing_ conditions is just big enough for the looper to go into. Too large a loop may result in the loop turning over towards the front and the looper missing the loop causing skip– ping.

To adjust: Loosen set screw (A) and raise or lower loop wire (B) as re– quired. Raising the looper wire in– creases loop size. Lowering the loop

wire decreases loop size. NEEDLES TO THROAT PLATE

Throat plate should be positioned so ··that the needles enter the needle holes with clearance on both sides of the hole and a slight clearance at the rear. To adjust: With Clamp Table in its rear position, Clamp Safety Switch set to NOP~, de– press Pedal halfway to open Folding Brushes and set Selector Switch to ELEC. This will leave Folding Brushes open, _allowing for recoval of the Patch Guide. Manually operate sewing* and observe Needles in .the Throat Plate holes. If adjustment is required loosen screws (K) and tap the Throat Plate into the required position. Tighten all screws and replace Patch Guide. *In order to operate sewing manually, first remove wire from Normal Open pole of Patch Safety Switch and con– nect it to Normal Closed pole of same switch. Now, by pressing the knee switch, the Drive Shaft will be re– leased, permitting manual sewing oper– ation. IMPORTANT: Be sure to retui;-n wire af– ter adjustments are made and before re– turning to normal operation.
