2. Adjusting the thread release hook

1) Loosen setscrew 5. Adjust so that the top end of tension release rod 6 is spaced 45 ± 1 mm from the top end of take-up thread guide 7. Then, tighten setscrew 5.
2) Loosen setscrew 9, move the position of thread release hook 8 up or down, and the thread remaining length at the start of sewing can be ad­justed.
• When the position of thread release hook 8 is raised, the thread remaining length at the start of sewing is decreased and when it is lowered, the thread remaining length at the start of sew­ing is increased.
• If stitch skipping occurs at the beginning of sewing when using non-elastic thread, properly adjust the remaining length of top-covering thread at the start of sewing using setscrew !0 and minimize the remaining length of looper thread at the start of sewing using screw !1.
