stitching plate and the upper thread trimming knife holder

removed.
Loosen the screw

to remove it.
8.2. The loopers are adjusted correctly if their tips are in the centre of the needle, when the needle lifts up of 2,4 mm
from the bottom dead point. It is suitable to do the adjustment in the moment when the blocking lever is out of func-
tion, in the area of sewing. This position can be reached by turning the left hand wheel until the block lever lifts up.

from the needle after loosing the screw

0,2mm between the needle and the looper tip. Tighten the screw. Adjust the same gap on the right looper

when it
goes along the needle.
8.4. The needle bar can be lifted up from the bottom position in the centre stitch by turning the hand wheel so that it
is possible to stick in a gauge

with its higher end between the surface plane for clamping plates and the end of the
needle bar. Once you loose the clip screw

, move the tip of the left looper

onto the needle axis

and tighten
the screw. Turn the hand wheel until the right looper

comes to the needle centre. Side bite should be minimal, as
per section C6. The needle bar should be at the same height as at the left looper – check with a gauge
