foot.

1. Move the needle bar q to its lowest position. (Check that the needle is in the center of the needle hole. If adjust-

ment is necessary, make the adjustment while referring to "4-1. Adjusting the needle zigzag home position sensor

position".)

2. Remove the rubber cap w from the face plate, and then loosen the set screw e of the needle bar clamp.

3. Insert the “1” part of the gauge r between the needle plate t and the lower edge of the needle bar q, and move

the needle bar q so that it touches the gauge r.

* Different gauges are used for each of the three sub-classes -2, -3 and -5, so make sure that the gauge being

used matches the specifications and application for the sewing machine being adjusted.

4. Tighten the set screw e.

5. Install the rubber cap w.

* Check that the knife flank of the needle bar is at a right angle to the knife. If the installation positions are not

correct, the needle bar and knife may touch when the needle zigzags, which may result in noise or cause the

needle to break.
