RE

TURNING

THE

PINKING

DEVICE

TO

THE

MACHINE:

When

the

pinking

device

is

re

tu

rned

to

the

sewing

machine,

do

not

forge

t

to

see

that

the

set

screw

#

18

-

500

for

th

e

lop

ball

joint

is

fastened

securely,

also,

that

the

throw

out

l

eve

r

#4

76-11

has

been

released

so

that

the

sp

rin

g

is

acting

upon

the

knife.

From the library of: Superior Sewing Machine & Supply LLC

4

Turn

the

hand

wheel

in

sewing

direction

until

the

top

knife

is

in

its

uppermost

position;

now,

by

pressing

down

on

the

knife

so

that

the

point

of

the

top

knife

is

the

same

distance

from

the

top

surface

of

the

lower

knife

that

existed

when

the

device

was

taken

from

the

bed

of

the

sewing

machine.

Tighten

the

upper

knife

firmly.

If

it

is

necessary

to

remove

the

pinking

base

from

the

machine,

measure

the

distance

from

the

bottom

point

of

the

upper

knife

to

the

top

surface

of

the

lower

knife

when

the

upper

knife

is

in

the

extreme

upward

position.

Now,

when

the

pinking

device

is

returned

to

the

machine

and

the

above

measurement

has

been

over

l

ooked,

the

proper

setting

th

en

would

be

to

turn

the

hand

wheel

in

sewing

direction

until

the

knife

stroke

is

at

its

extreme

lower

position;

then,

the

cutting

point

of

the

knife

in

this

position

must

be

about

1

/32"

below

the

top

cutting

edge

of

the

lower

knife.

When

the

upper

knife

is

permitted

to

enter

into

the

lower

knife

too

deeply,

the

life

of

the

knives

will

be

greatly

lessened

and

the

top

knife

may

strike

the

hook.

To

avoid

damaging

the

hook

when

the

top

knife

is

set,

turn

the

hand

wheel

very

slowly

and

see

that

the

top

knife

clears

the

hook

.

RESHARPENING

KNIVES:

It

will

be

noted

that

the

top

knife

has

two

cutting

edges,

an

d

that

it

may

be

reversed.

When

re-sharpening

the

top

knife,

do

not

destroy

the

"V"

shape

of

the

knife,

which

is

acc

urat

ely

made

-

re-

sharpen

the

end

of

the

knife

only

and

do

not

grind

the

sides.

After

grinding, the

edges

must

be

stoned

keen

and

smooth,

free

from

a

ll

burrs.

Th

is

important

inasmuch

as

a

burred

and

rough

edge

will

not

last

long

and

will

damage

the

cutting

edges

of

the

lower

knife.

It

should

be

n

oted

that

the

e

nds

of

the

knife

are

on

an

angle

with

the

back

of

t

he

.

knife.

Do

not

change

the

cutting

angle

of

the

ends.

TO

SHARPEN

THE

LOWER

KNIFE:

The

low

er

knife

as

a

rule,

will

out

last

the

top

knife

and

do

es

not

have

to

be

resharpened

whenever

the

top

knif

e

5

is

resharpened.

The

top

of

the

lower

knife

is

re-sharpened

on

the

side

of

a

grinding

wheel

and

should

be

touched

very

lightly,

and

the

minimum

amount

of

metal

should

be

removed.

The

inside

of

the

"V"

of

the

low

e r

knife

must

not

be

touched

in

any

way

-

grind

the

top

surface

of

the

knife

only.

SPRING

PRESSURE

ON

TOP

KNIFE:

The

pressure

applied

on

the

top

knife

is

controlled

by

the

knurled

head

screw

#1

8-844.

If

the

knives

are

not

cutting

clean,

a

slight

increase

in

pressure

will

generally

remedy

the

fault.

It

is

to

be

noted

that

to

insure

the

long

life

of

the

knife,

the

minimum

amount

of

spring

pressure

must

b e

app

l

ied.

NEEDLE

PLATE:

To

remove

the

needle

plate

from

the

sewing

machine,

remove

the

pinking

base

as

described

above,

and

then

remove

the

needle

plate

as

usual.
