Standard and checking

The lateral distance between the guide plates 2 and the needles

should be as small as possible. However, the guide plates must not

abut on the needles or the needle holders 3 because this may lead to a

high noise level, damage to the guide plates and the needle head as

well as to thread breakage.

The distance between the sole top 1 and the bottom of the guide plate

2 should not exceed 0.5 mm.

Only when processing especially thick materials the distance has to be

increased.
