REGULATING THE TENSION
1. NEEDLE THREAD TENSION (FIG. 9-D).
A. THE TENSION IS INCREASED AS THE TEN·
SION NUT (A) IS TURNED CLOCKWISE AND ;
IT IS DECREASED AS THE NUT TURNED
COUNTER -CLOCKWISE.
B. THE CHECK SPRING (Cl GETS MORE TIGHT
AS THE TENSION STUD (B) IS TURNED
CLOCKWISE WJTH A SCREW DRIVER. AND
THE
CHECK SPRING GETS MORE LOOSE AS
THE TENSION STUD IS TURNED COUNTER-
CLOCKWISE.
C. THE MACHINE IS CORRECTLY ADJUSTED
BEFORE LEAVING THE FACTORY
