When a hook has been replaced, be sure to check the
position of the hook needle guard.
As the standard position of the hook needle guard, hook
needle guard must push the side face of needle to
lean the needle by 0.05 to 0.2 mm away from its straight
position.
If the aforementioned standard state is not achieved,
insert a screwdriver (small) into needle guard ad-
justment screw and adjust the position of the needle
guard.

tighten opener cam setscrew at the position
where opener starts to move from the position
that is farthest from the protruding portion C of in-
ner hook .
At this time, tighten opener cam setscrew in
such a way that a clearance of 0.2 to 0.5 mm is
provided between the top surface of opener cam
and the undersurface of opener arm .
