TIMING OF THREAD TENSION RELEASE
Tum the needle driving pulley as you draw the thread in the direction of the arrow as illustrated and you will find a point at
which the tension disc on the tension post No. 2 release the thread. At this moment, the standard distance from the top end of
the needle bar to the top end of the needle bar bushing (upper) is 44 to 47 mm. Perform the following adjustments especially
when the undermentioned troubles occur frequently.
Loosen nut
(1) , insert the blade of a screwdriver to the top slot of the tension post No. 2 and turn it in the direction of the
arrow to lower the needle bar, (to reduce the said distance), and vice versa.
Phenomenon
Height of needle bar
1. When the stch made
on the wrong side of the
workpiece is too loose;
Make the needle bar
slightl higher.
2. When the thread is
broken at the me of
stop-moon;
Make the needle bar
slightl higher.
3. When the thread is
broken frequentl ;
Make the needle bar
slightl lower.
SETTING FOR 2- OR 4-HOLES BUTTONS
Measure the distance between two holes in a button and set equally
crosswise and lengthwise feed regulators for 4-hole buttons.
Lengthwise feed
Push down lengthwise feed adjusting lever (1) and set it to 0 for 2-
holes buttons or the corresponding amount for 4-holes buttons
Crosswise feed
Loosen nut (2) and set pointer (3) to a corresponding amount indicated by the crosswise feed regulation plate. Tighten firmly nut
(2).
Before operang the machine, ensure that the needle enters the center of each hole in the buon.
AUTOMATIC THREAD TRIMMER
Position of the moving knife
When the machine stops in the state of ―stop-motion" and
its button clamp assembly rests in the highest position, there
must be a standard clearance of 12.5 mm between thread trim-
ming connecting link (front)
(1) and the end face of the slit in
throat plate
(2). This clearance is determined by gauge
(3) which
is stored in the accessory box; tilt the head backwards, remove
the bed oil shield, loosen two nuts (4) and adjust the clearance
by moving connecting screw
(5) in the axial direction. When you
tighten two nuts
(4), ensure that joint(6) stays in the horizontal
position.
