Adjustment Procedure
Results of Improper Adjustment
1. Set the panel setting value at 0.
2. After adjustments, rmly tighten the screws that have been loos-
ened.
(Screw tightening should be done under the condition that the
setscrews ❷ is pushed against the horizontal feed bracket shaft
❶.)
(Cautions)1. In regard to the locus of standard feeding, the
throat plate and the feed dog rise almost horizon-
tally when the throat plate rises.
2. The direction of the horizontal feed bracket shaft
❶ should be adjusted on the right side (operator
side).
3. If there is rattle in the horizontal feed bracket shaft
❶, this can be a cause of unusual sound and im-
proper linearity.
4. When you have changed the stitch pitch, the feed
dog height, and the feed timing, run the sewing
machine at low speed to make sure that nothing
interferes with each other before the actual sew-
ing (a gap with 0.5 mm or more).
5. There may be the cases where the feed amount of
the operation panel and the actual sewing pitch
are different from each other in case of the use in
the state other than the standard delivery or mate-
rial used. Compensate the pitch in accordance
with the sewing product.
◦ If the gradient of the feed dog is
adjusted for either shaft only, the
feed dog height may be changed.
Adjustments are needed for both
shafts in all cases.
◦ According to the shaft adjusting
position, the position of feed dog
motion may be shifted.
In such a case, loosen the tight-
ening screw ❸ of the horizontal
feed arm ❹ to adjust the position
of motion.
◦ According to the result of feed
dog height or gradient adjust-
ments, there is possibility of inter-
ference with the thread trimmer
unit.
◦ When the feed dog height is
set above the standard level,
the feeding power is improved.
Instead, there can be problems
of presser jumping at high speed
and aws in light materials.

Adjustment Procedure
1. Turn the ywheel until the needle bar ❷ comes to its lowest
position, and loosen the needle bar connecting setscrew ❶.
2. Determine the needle bar height.
Adjust the engraved marker line (marker line A for the DB
needle and marker line B for the DA needle) of the needle bar
❷ to the lower end of the needle bar lower metal ❸ and tighten
the needle bar connecting setscrew ❶. (Be careful not to tighten
the needle bar connecting setscrew ❶ too much.)
3. Determine the mounting position of the hook ❺.
Turn the three hook setscrews in the direction of ywheel
forward revolutions to raise the needle bar ❷. In this direction, adjust the engraved marker line (marker line C for the DB
needle and marker line D for the DA needle) to the lower end of
the needle bar lower metal ❸.
4. In this state, adjust the blade point ❺ of the inner hook to the
center of the needle ❹ so that a clearance of 0.04 to 0.1mm
(goal value) is secured between the needle ❹ and the hook ❺.
Since then, rmly tighten the three hook setscrews.
(Cautions) The needle bar ❸ of the DDL-9000C-FMS becomes
black because a special coating is applied to the
needle bar ❸. When it is difcult for you to check a
marker line, make the room brighter using a light and
check it.
<Information about the dry hook>
Use the following part number.
The hook part numbers come in two types according to the specications.
22890206 (without the needle guard)
22890404 (with the needle guard)
22890305 (22890206 with special surface treatment)
(Cautions) The dry hook (RP hook) tends to collect thread
chips and material dust. This can cause malfunction
or defective stitches. Periodic cleaning is required.
<Lubricated hook K: Available separately>
This is a hard blade point hook with a needle holder applicable
to needle size #9 (#65).
Where a thin needle has to be used for reasons of sewing pro-
cesses, this type of hook is applicable to the prevention of stitch
skipping and needle breakage.

Results of Improper Adjustment
◦ If this clearance is too small, the
blade point of the hook ❺ may be
damaged.
Too much clearance may give rise
to stitch skipping.
◦ When you use a dry hook, buy
and mount the parts that stop the
hook oil quantity.
Refer to "3.-(6)-5) Adjusting the
amount of oil in the hook".

(3) Operating timing of the feed
(Caution) When you have changed the stitch length, feed dog height or feed timing, run the sew-
ing machine at a low speed to make sure that the gauge does not interfere with the
changed part.

(+ : To advance; - : To retard)
4) Conrm your entry by pressing ❻.
Then, the sewing screen is displayed.
○ When the timing is fast,
1. Since the motion in horizontal direction is reduced at the beginning of feeding, the material cloth is fed
assuredly by the effect of creep reduction.
2. The feeding force is reduced around the end of feeding because the feed dog lowers faster.
○ When the timing is slow,
1. The motion becomes moderate at the beginning of feeding, thus making the material cloth biting
worse.
2. The light-weight materials tend to be less damaged.
3. The material cloth is fed assuredly at the end of feeding. Thanks to the leading effect, puckering tends
to be improved.

Adjustment Procedure
Results of Improper Adjustment
1. The front and rear positions of the inner hook presser ❶ can be
adjusted by means of the setscrew ❷.
[Standard adjusting value]
Fasten the needle entry section by means of the setscrew ❷ so
that it is located closer to the shoulder section toward the front
side from the center of the embossed part in the inner hook
presser ❶.
◦ If the embossed part of the inner
hook presser ❶ has any aw, this
can be a cause of thread break-
age or uneven sewing.
In such a case, the damaged part
shall be replaced with a new one.
◦ If the inner hook presser ❶ is
positioned inadequately, an
extra tension is exerted when the
thread comes out of the em-
bossed part. This can be a cause
of shrinkage errors.
