Loosen setscrew 4 . Adjust the position of looper
thread cam 1 so that wire 3 is visible through guide
hole B when third marker line A (third from the top)
of the needle bar 2 aligns with the bottom end face of
the needle bar lower bushing.
After the adjustment, verify the following.
1. When the looper thread moves off tip C of the
looper thread cam, the needle tip fully enters the
looper thread triangle.
2. In the case puckering is particularly concerned, the
bottom face of the wire aligns with the bottom end
of guide hole B slightly earlier than the normal
timing.
