CONDITION CAUSE HOW TO FIX REFERENCE 6. NOISY 1. BACKLASH BETWEEN SEE MECHANICAL P.15 OPERATION ROTARY HOOK GEAR AND ADJUSTMENT "NEEDLE LOWER SHAFT GEAR IS TOO CLEARANCE TO ROTARY HOOK". GREAT. 2. TOO MUCH UPPER SHAFT PLAY REDUCE THE UPPER SHAFT PLAY 3.
SERVICE ACCESS FACE COVER 1. Open the face cover (A). 2. Remove the screws (B). 3. Take the face cover (A) off. TOP COVER (TO REMOVE) 1. Remove screws (C) and (D). 2. Raise the carrying handle (E), lift the top cover (F), and separate the carrying handle stays (G) from each pin (H) by pushing them from both sides.
SERVICE ACCESS BASE 1. Remove 4 screws (A). 2. Remove the base (B). BED COVER 1. Remove 2 screws (D). 2. Remove the bed cover (E). * When you replace the bed cover, set the drop lever (F) in the left position.
SERVICE ACCESS FRONT COVER (TO REMOVE) 1. Remove the top cover, belt cover and base (See pageS 4, 5 and 6). 2. Set the pattern selector dial at stitch No. 18 (Triple lock straight stitch). When you turn the pattern selector dial, you can see the position of screw (D). 3.
SERVICE ACCESS TOP TENSION TO CHECK: When polyester sewing thread size 50 (white) is passed as shown in the figure below and pulled upwards (A), the tension should be 75 to 90 g with the thread tension dial set at “3”. ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE: 1.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT PRESSER BAR HEIGHT AND ALIGNMENT TO CHECK: 1. Raise the presser foot lever (B). 2. The distance between the zigzag foot (A) and the needle plate (C) should be 6.0 If this is not the case, adjust as follows. ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE: 1.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT STRAIGHT STITCHING TO CHECK: 1. Set the stitch width dial at “0” and the stitch selector at stitch No. 3 (Simple zigzag). 2. Turn the hand wheel by hand. 3. The needle should not swing side to side at this setting. ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE: 1.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT NEEDLE SWING TO CHECK: If the needle bar moves sidewise while the needle is in the fabric in zigzag stitching (The needle should start swinging when 2 to 3mm above the needle plate in right outflow), adjust as follows: ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE: 1.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT NEEDLE POSITION TO CHECK: 1. Set the machine as follows: * Stitch selector at stitch No. 7 * Stitch width control at 6.5 2. Turn the hand wheel toward you until the needle comes to center position (D). 3.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT DISTRIBUTION OF NEEDLE SWING TO CHECK: 1. Set the stitch width control to “0 “and the stitch selector at stitch No. 3 (simple zigzag). 2. Raise the needle to its highest position. 3. Place the darning plate on the needle plate. 4.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT ZIGZAG STOPPER If the needle tip hits with the needle plate (D) when the needle swings to the right at the maximum zigzag width, adjust as follows. (when the needle drop position in the needle plate hole deviates toward the right of the hole, refer to “DISTRIBUTION OF NEEDLE SWING”.) 1.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT NEEDLE CLEARANCE TO ROTARY HOOK TO CHECK: 1. Set the stitch selector at stitch No. 3 (simple zigzag) 2. Remove the set screw (A) of the needle plate, and detach the needle plate (B) and bobbin holder (C). 3.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT BACKLASH (LOWER SHAFT GEAR) TO CHECK: 1. Remove screw (A) to remove the needle plate (B) and bobbin holder (C). 2. Turn the hand wheel slowly toward you until the tip of the rotary hook (D) comes within the width of the feed dog (E). 3.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT NEEDLE BAR HEIGHT When the tip of the rotary hook exactly meets the right of the needle (E) in ascending travel of the needle bar from its lowest position at the left needle drop position with the pa1tern selector dial at stitch No.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT NEEDLE TO ROTARY HOOK TIMING With the needle bar swing to the left at the maximum zigzag width, the amount of ascending travel of the needle bar from its lower position (H) to the position where the tip of the rotary hook (F) exactly meets the right side of the needle should be 3.15 to 3.45mm (G).
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT FEED DOG HEIGHT When the presser foot (D) is lowered with the pressure dial set (I) at ” 3, “the highest position of the feed dog (E) should be 0.75 to 0.85mm above the top surface (F) of the needle plate. 1.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT STRETCH STITCH BALANCE When the stitch No. 18 is sewed with the stretch stitch adjusting knob (E) at the setting mark (F), the stitch should be formed as shown in the figure below (A=B). If forward feeding and backward feeding is not balanced, make adjustment in the following procedure.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT BUTTONHOLE STITCH BALANCE TO CHECK: 1. Set the machine as follows: Stitch selector at “BH” Stitch length dial at “blue zone” Stitch width dial at 6.5 2. Attach the automatic buttonhole foot (R). 3. Sew a buttonhole and check the stitch balance between the right side and left side of buttonhole.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT ZERO FEEDING TO CHECK: 1. Select pattern No. 1 (straight stitch), and set the stitch length control (D) at “0”. 2. Place a piece of paper on the needle plate. 3. Check if the paper moves forward or backward when you turn the hand wheel toward you.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT BUTTONHOLE FUNCTION (1) A buttonhole sewn with the automatic buttonhole foot will be 3mm longer than the actual button. The length can be adjusted as follows: ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE: 1. Lower the feed dog and attach foot (R), then lower the presser bar. 2.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT BUTTONHOLE FUNCTION (2) If the bar tack on the buttonhole is sewn too early (F), or if bar tack is sewn too late (G), adjust as follows: ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE: 1. Remove the belt cover (See page 5). 2. Loosen set screw (A). 3.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT MOTOR BELT TENSION TO CHECK: 1. If the motor belt tension is too tight or too loose, it may cause belt noise. Also, a too tight belt tension can cause the machine to run slow and will overload the motor.
PART REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT THREADER PLATE When the hook of the threader plate (F) is damaged, change or adjust the part as follows. TO CHANGE THE THREADER PLATE: 1. Raise the needle to its highest position, and lower the threader knob (D) to its lowest position.
