2.12.1 Thread regulator
21
Caution: Danger of injury!
Turn off the main switch. Only check and adjust the thread regulator when the machine is
switched off.
Standard checking
The position of the thread regulator 1 depends on the thickness of the material, the thread thickness and the s elected stitch length. It must be set so that the thread is fed round the hook in a controlled manner.
The greatest a mount of thread is released at setting “1" as it is required for particularly long stitch lengths and thick sewing threads.
Open the throat plate slide.
Thread the needle and hook thread.
Insert the material.
Start sewing for a short time.
Turn the hand wheel and observe how tightly the needle thread is being fed around the hook.
Correction
Undo screw 2.
Move the thread regulator. Thread regulator to the left = more thread Thread regulator to the right = less thread.
Tighten screw 2.

Caution: Danger of injury!
Turn off the main switch. Only check and adjust the thread take up spring when the machine is
switched off.
Standard checking
The adjustment rules for spring travel and spring tension apply to normal needle thread thicknesses. With extremely s trong or weak needle threads or sewing material other settings may be required.
Spring travel
The thread take up spring 1 must keep the needle thread at low tension from the top thread level position until the eye of the needle pierces the material. To achieve an even seam at low thread tension the thread take up spring travel can also be increased. The thread take up spring must only be at the stop when the needle has penetrated the material up to the eye.
Spring tension
The spring tension should be lower than the needle thread tension.

When the thread pulling knife 1 is in its rest position the distance between the cam 4 (highest point) and the spool 5 should be 0.1 mm. Here the cam must be next to the edge of the snap fit coupling 8.
In the rest position the thread pulling knife should be flush with the edge of the counter blade 2.

2.14.4 Cutter pressure and bobbin thread clamp
Caution: Danger of injury!
Turn off the main switch. Only check and adjust the counter blade and the bobbin thread clamp
when the machine is switched off.
1
Standard checking
The thread should be cut reliably with the lowest possible pressure. Low cutting pressure keeps wear on the blades low. Two of the thickest threads to be sewn must be cut reliably at the same time.
The clamping spring 1 should keep the cut thread so that skipped stitches do not occur at the start of the seam.
Turn the hand wheel until the thread draw cutter can be swung out.
Swing the thread draw cutter out by hand.
Insert two of the threads to be cut into the thread draw cutter.
Keep turning the hand wheel until the cutter has swung back.
Check whether the sewing threads have been cut cleanly.
Remove the thread from the clamp and check the clamping effect while doing this. If the clamping effect is too great or too small the thread clamp must be reset.
IMPORTANT!
If the counter cutter pressure is set too high this leads to increased wear on the cutter.
An incorrect thread clamp setting may lead to problems at the start of sewing.

To adjust cutting pressure

Adjustment
For a flawless cutting operation it is important for screw 4 in the free arm to be up against the counter cutter support with a slight pressure and in this way it cannot be pressed down.
Correction
Undo screw 4 a little and then screw it in slightly again on the counter cutter.
Swing the thread draw cutter out until the arrow on the cutter points towards t he edge of the counter cutter.
Undo screw 1.
Place the thread draw cutter 2 against the counter cutter.
Tighten screw 1.
Important
The eccentric cut of the thread draw cutter 2 automatically produces a cutting pressure when both cutting edges are on top of each other.
