1. Needle Bar Height
2. Presser Bar Height
zRemove the face plate.
xTurn the handwheel to bring the needle bar q to the
lowest position.
vLoosen the setscrew w.Move the needle bar q up
or down and match the upper hairline e with the
bottom edge of the needle bar bushing r.
NOTE:
Be sure not to rotate the needle bar when adjusting the
needle bar height.The needle clamp screw should be
parallel to the upper shaft.
bTighten the setscrew and attach the face plate.
q
e
r
w
The distance between the bottom of the presser foot in
up position and the needle plate should be 5.7–6.3 mm.
zRemove the face plate and needle.
