		1) Loosen hexagon head setscrews (three piec-
		es).

Cloth puller belt

3 to

4mm

Feed dog of the sewing machine (largest feed pitch)

Maximize the feed amount of the main body of sewing machine. Adjust the feed amount to 3 to

4 mm by moving the cloth puller back and forth when the feed dog approaches closest to the belt.

Throat plate

Slightly sinks

2)Loosen screw and adjust the longitudinal position of the cloth puller so that the head of screw comes in contact with rubber to such an extent that rubber slightly sinks.

3)Tighten nut to secure the cloth puller.

θ

1)Loosen hexagon head setscrews (two pieces). Rotate the cloth puller so that it is in parallel with the feed dog.

If the cloth puller inclines (as shown with θ), the chain-off thread skipping may occur.

3-11. LED hand light

WARNING :

When adjusting the sensor, neither put your hand close to the needle entry area nor put your foot on the pedal in order to protect against injuries.

	* This LED is intended to improve operability
	of the sewing machine and is not intended for
	maintenance.
	The sewing machine is provided as standard with an
	LED light which illuminates the needle entry area.
	Intensity adjustment and turn-off of the light is carried
	out by pressing switch . Every time the switch is
	pressed, the light is adjusted in intensity in five steps
	and is turned off in turn.
	[Change of intensity]
	1	...... 4 5 1

3-12. To use the sewing machine with a cloth puller for sewing heavy-to medium-weight materials

WARNING :

Turn OFF the power before starting the work so as to prevent accidents caused by abrupt start of the sewing machine.

The MS-1261A has been developed to sew extra heavy-weight materials as standard. Various kinds of gauges have been prepared to enable the machine to be used for sewing heavyto medium-weight materials. Replace the gauge, when sewing heavyto mediumweight materials, following the procedure described below.

3-12-1. Replacing the feed dog

3-12-2. Changing the throat plate

Remove the throat plate. Loosen screw in the feed dog and remove the feed dog. Then, replace the feed dog with an appropriate one.

Each of the feed dogs for heavyto medium-weight materials has been designed so that it can be used only by replacing it without adjusting the feed dog height. However, it is really necessary to adjust the feed dog height, refer to "3-7. Adjusting the feed dog height" p. 10

To change the height in difference on the righthand side of the feed dog

Loosen two serews in the adjusting feed dog and remove spacer (plate thickness: 0.5 mm).

Many different types of spacers are available.

Detach throat plate setscrews (two pieces) and(one piece). Then, change the throat plate with an appropriate one.

– 14 –

3-12-3. Adjusting the difference in height of the presser foot

(Standard L: 3.5 mm)

3-12-4. Replacing the needle thread guide

Remove two screws that are used to retain adjusting presser foot , and adjust the difference in height of the presser foot by replacing spacer . Thicknesses of spacers that match the respective throat plates and feed dogs are as shown in the

table.
No. Plate	Thickness	Specification
1	1.0mm	Extra heavy-weight mate-
		rials (standard)
2	0.5mm	Heavy-weight materials
3	None	Medium-weight materials

To replace spacer with a spacer (0.5 mm or none), replace screw with a shorter one (L=3.0 mm SS5060310SP).

When sewing a medium-weight material using a thin thread, larger needle thread loops will be produced and they will be likely to tilt causing stitch skipping. To prevent the aforementioned trouble, replace thread guide located above the needle clamp with an appropriate one.

Loosen screw that is used to fix thread guide , and replace the thread guide with thread guide for medium-weight materials.

Material edge detector detects the presence / absence of the material at the beginning and end of sewing.

When the material is present, the green LED (A) and the orange LED (B) light up at all times.

When the material is absent, only the green LED (A) lights up.

The detecting device of the sewing machine has been factory-adjusted at the time of shipment so that it detects the presence / absence of the material without additional adjustment. However, the detecting device may fail to detect the material properly depending on the type of material used.

In such a case, adjust the detecting device of the sewing machine by turning control knob .

[Adjustment procedure]

* The orange LED (B) lights up even when the material is not present on the sewing machine.

→ Turn control knob toward the "min".

*The orange LED (B) goes out even when the material is present on the sewing machine.

→ Turn control knob toward the "max".

When you turn ON the power to the sewing machine, the sewing screen for the pattern that is currently selected is displayed.

This sewing machine is able to sew free sewing patterns and step sewing patterns. As many as 99 different sewing patterns can be created by combining free sewing patterns and step sewing patterns.

In the case of a free sewing pattern, different sewing conditions can be adopted respectively for sewing flat sections and multi-layered sections of material.

In the case of a step sewing pattern, separate sewing conditions can be adopted for sewing a material on a step-by-step basis.

The below-stated section of this Instruction Manual describes the free sewing patterns. Refer to "4-4-6. How to edit a step sewing pattern" p. 34 for the description about step sewing patterns.
