Turn the machine pulley to align the tip of the rotary hook with the center of the needle, and then loosen the set screw (2)
and turn the eccentric shaft (3) to adjust so that the driver needle guard (1) is touching the needle.
NOTE:
If it crosses the needle more than necessary, it will place a load on the needle, or it may cause poor thread tension.
Furthermore, if it does not cross the needle at all, the tip of the rotary hook will interfere with the needle and skipped
stitches may occur.
