5. STANDARD ADJUSTMENT (MACHINE HEAD)

5-4. Shuttle driver needle contact adjustment

Turn the pulley and align the shuttle hook point with the needle center. Loosen set screw w and turn the eccen-

tric connecting link stud e so that the needle meets the driver q. Note that excessive needle to driver contact

will result in skipped stitches. Also, if the needle does not sufficiently contact the shuttle driver, the shuttle hook

point will interrupt the needle, resulting in abnormal abrasion.

NOTE: Check that the needle is protruding from above the needle plate.

1. Turn the drive shaft w w of the lower shaft module q clockwise until the point of the shuttle hook of the

lower shaft module q is almost at the correct timing position.

2. Turn the upper shaft pulley to raise the needle bar from its lowest position until the lowest reference

line on the needle bar is aligned with the bottom edge of the needle bar bracket (needle bar timing

position).

3. Turn the drive shaft w of the lower shaft module q, and then loosen the set screw r and turn the

eccentric connecting link stud t to adjust so that the driver e needle contact touches the needle

when the point of the shuttle hook of the lower shaft module q is aligned with the center of the

needle.

Excessive contact between the needle and the driver e will result in skipped stitches.

NOTE

If the needle does not sufficiently contact the driver,e the point of the shuttle hook will interrupt the

needle, resulting in abnormal abrasion.

Because the upper shaft and lower shaft operate independently of each other, you should check that

the needle does not interfere with the shuttle hook or the driver e when the needle moves inside

the shuttle hook of the lower shaft module.

Also check that the needle does not interfere with the shuttle hook or the driver e in the same way

when the lower shaft module is rotating. Interference can result in broken or bent needles.
