The standard angle for the feed dog q is for the top of the
0594M
needle plate and the top of the feed dog q to be parallel
when the feed dog q is at its maximum height above the
needle plate.(with the ⁄ mark on the feed bracket shaft w
aligned with the mark on the feed rocker bracket arm e).
1. Turn the machine pulley to move the feed dog q to its
highest position above the needle plate.
2. Tilt back the machine head.
3. Loosen the two set screws r.
4. Turn the feed bracket shaft w in the direction of the
arrow within a range of 90° with respect to the stan-
dard position.
• Tilting the feed dog q so that the front is lowered
tends to prevent puckering(gathering). (Figure A)
• Tilting the feed dog q so that the front is raised tends
to prevent material from slipping (uneven material
feeding). (Figure B)
5. Securely tighten the set screws r.
* When the angle of the feed dog q is adjusted, the
height and forward/back position of the feed dog q will
also change and will need to be readjusted.
