Specifications

You should not feel any restrictions during the rotation. If you do, you may have a
damaged trimmer cam or trimmer solenoid.
NOTE: You may remove the trimmer solenoid for inspection or replacement.
However, when the trimmer solenoid mount is moved, the movable knife
home position may become mis-adjusted.
8. Go to the Mechanical Disassembly section of the manual for the procedure to
replace the trimmer solenoid.
9. While the trimmer solenoid is removed, inspect the trimmer cam for damage. If
the cam is damaged beyond use, factory service is recommended to replace it.
10. Go to the movable knife home position adjustment procedure after the solenoid
is reinstalled.
11. Repeat this procedure to check again for unrestricted cam assembly movement.
Checking "Headup" Position
Before checking/adjusting movable knife "home" or "select" positions, you should
check the cam positions at headup.
1. Remove the embroidery head rear bed cover to expose the trimmer camming
mechanisms shown in Figure 2-27.
WARNING! Keep clear of the moving parts that are exposed during the operation
of the next step(s).
2. Go to the HEAD TIMING MENU and press to turn HEAD TIMING ON. Put
the heads to the "headup" position by pressing the key combination.
3. Locate the holes in the rear of the cams (see Figure 2-27) and check that they are
facing nearly straight upward. If the holes are not facing close to straight
upward, the select position may require adjustment. Refer to the Select Position
Adjustment section in this chapter for information on recommended factory
service.
Trimmers Not Trimming Properly
When the trimmers are not providing adequate trim quality, there are three general
areas that may be contributing to the situation: 1) The physical condition of the
trimmer parts, 2) The Movable Knife "home" position, and 3) The Movable Knife
"select" position.
