Specifications

6. The beam makes two moves that clears the top thread (now called the tail) out
of the material.
7. At approximately the same time the threads are being cut and the beam is
moving to clear the tail, the grabber reaches out from behind the needle area
and "grabs" the tail, pulling it up and back into the Velcro wiper strip.
8. When the trim is complete the peripheral begins embroidering again
automatically.
Trimmer Replacement Procedures
The thread trimmer assemblies lie in three general areas of the head: in and about
the hook and bobbin area, on the arm casting behind the front of the head, and in
and throughout the cylinder bed. All the replacement procedures for these various
parts are grouped together in this section. All the trimmer adjustments are grouped
together in the section following these replacement procedures.
Grabber Drive Assembly
The grabber drive assembly is mounted to the left side of the arm casting. To
