GC6-6 and Model GC6-7 are as follows: are convenient. The feed mechanism of model GC6-6 is constructed by the top feed of walking presser foot and bottom feed of feed dog. 2. Main specifications...
3. Installation and preparation 3.1 Installation 119.5 3.1.1 Location of the machine To ensure a smooth running, the machine Should be located on rigid and flat floor.The insert of rubber mat between machine stand and floor is recommended for further reducing the running noise and vibration.
3.1.5 Installing the motor(Fig.4) Align machin balance wheel belt groove A with motor pulley belt groove B by moving the motor C leftward or rightward. Be sure the belt is not touch with table. i n c o r r e c t Cor rec t 3.1.6 Connecting the clutch lever to the pedal (Fig.5) 1) The optimum tilt angle of pedal A with...
3.1.8 Installing the thread unwiner (Fig.7) Locate thread unwinder at the right front of the table, note that spool rest may not obstruct when machine head is turned backward, then tightern wood screw C. 3.2 Preparation 3.2.1 Cleaning the machine Before delivery , the machine parts are coated with rust preventive grease, which may be hardened and contaminated by dust during storage...

Oil Hole A up to PartF. G. H. I. J(See Fig9). Oil Hole B up to PartC. D. E(See Fig10)through 9 oil wick. The bevel gear cases in Fig. 11 and Fig.12 are packed with grease, which should be replenished periodically as may be consumed gradually after long time of operation .
. 4.2 Coordination between needle, thread and sewing material Needle of machine Model GC6-6 is Dp 17, #18-#22 Needle of machine Model GC6-7 is Dp 17, #18-#22 Selection to the needle size should be based upon the thread and material to be sewn.
Installing the needle (Fig.14) Turn the balance wheel to lift needle bar to the highest position, loosen needle set screw 1, fully insert the needle shank upto the bottom of needle socket, then tighten needle set screw 1. Note: Fig.14(b): insufficient insertion, Fig.14(c): wrong direction of long groove.
4.4.2 Winding adjustment(Fig.16) 1) Wound bobbin thread should be neat and tight, if not, adjust the thread tension by turning tension stud thumb nut A of bobbin winder tension bracket. Note: nylon or polyester thread should be wound with light tension, otherwise bobbin D might be broketn or deformed.
4.7. Installing the bobbin case (Fig.19) 1) Lift the needle bar to its hightest position and open the bed slide. 2) Fully lift bobbin case latch lever A and holding it by fingers, securely install the bobbin case into the rotating hook B.Note that the bobbin case latch is engaged in the positioning groove of rotating hook spindle.
It is a common practice to check the bobbin thread tension as shown in Fig. 22. In case of glazed thread #50, hold the end of pulled out thread and to vibrate bobbin case up and down, if the bobbin case fall down slowly, the proper tension is obtained.
5.2 Adjusting the thread guide The position of thread guide affects sewing quality and therefore must be adjusted according to the materials to be sewn and sewing conditions. The normal relationship beween the position of thread guide (Fig.17) and the materials to be sewn is as the following table Rightward Leftward...
1) In case of needle thread tension is too strong or bobbin thread tension is too weak, as shown in Fig.25(b), turn the tension regulating thumb nut counter- clockwise to decrease the needle thread tension or tighten the bobbin case tension regulating screw to increase the bobbin thread tension(see Fig.
6.1.2 Adjusting rotating hook point timing with needle (Fig. 29) Turn the balance wheel to locate needle bar to its lowest position, and when needle bar lifted again at 2.5mm 1.2 mm from its lowest position, the rotating hook point D should be coincides with needle center line C, and hook point D is 1.2 mm above the upper edge E of needle eye.
6.2 Adjusting the feed dog 6.2.1 Adjusting height of feed dog Turn balance wheel to raise the feed dog to its highest position, at that position, the height of feed 0.8mm~1.2mm dog teeth should be projected 0.8-1mm above throat plate top surface as shown in Fig.32. The height of feed dog teeth of 1mm above the throat plate top surface can be taken while sewing heavy material.
B,b, 6.5 Adjusting top feed mechanism 6.5.1 Adjusting top feed mechanism of machine Model GC6-6 1) Adjusting feed amount The top feed can be adjusted to synchronize with bottom feed or differential with bottom feed.
3) Adjusting the lift amount of presser foot together with walking presser foot The lift amount of walking presser foot together with Presser foot presser foot also can be adjusted slightly. When adjusting, lift front crank loosen nut with a spanner first, then move the presser foot lift regulating screw to change its center distance B between the Above presser foot lift shaft, as shown in Fig.39 The lift amount is...
Page 21
2) Adujsting the alternate lift amount of the presser feet Lift amount of the walking presser foot is within 5mm and lift amount of the presser foot is 2.5 mm, when sewing medium or heavy materials. The lift amount of these two presser feet can be changed slightly according to the nature of material or the requirements in sewing.
7. Periodical cleaning 7.1. Cleaning the feed dog(Fig.41) Remove the throat plate and clean off all the dust and lint on the feed dog. Rotating hook Feed dog Cleaning the rotating hook(Fig.42) Lay down the machine head and clean the hook, wipe the bobbin case with soft cloth.
8.Trouble shooting Trouble Possible causes Remedy 1. Needle too thin or bent. Change the needle with new one. 2. Wrong set of needle. Refer to the section 4.3. Needle 3. Push or pull the material Support the material gently breaking with hand while sewing.
