2
The needle thread remaining on the needle
after thread trimming is too short.
3
The bobbin thread is too short.
1
The hook or the inner hook stopper has
scratches.
2
The needle hole guide has scratches.
3
Partial catch of thread by hook due to needle
deflection
4
The needle thread tension is too high.
5
The tension of the thread take-up spring is
too high.
6
The synthetic fiber thread melts due to heat
generated on the needle.
7
Thread breakage due to partial catch of
thread by hook when sewing seat belt
8
Needle stitcks in fabric yarn.
1
The needle is bent.
2
The needle is too thin for the material.
3
Feed timming is excessively slow.
1
Position of thread trimming is improper.
2
The moving knife has been improperly
positioned.
3
The last stitch is skipped.
4
Pitch at the last stitch is too small.
(Knife type)
1
The counter knife is dull.
2
The difference in level between the needle
hole guide and the counter knife is not
enough.
(Hot wire type)
1
Temperature setting is too low.
2

1
The motions of the needle and shuttle are not
properly synchronized.
2
The clearance between the needle and shuttle
is too large.
3
The needle is bent.
1
The needle thread tension is not high enough.
2
The needle thread after thread trimming is too long.
1
In case of synthetic fiber thread, the thread is
harder than other threads and penetration
resistance to material is small.
Corrective measures

or decrease.)
™
Increase the rising amount of the disk of thread
tension controller No. 2.
™
Increase the rising amount of the disk of auxiliary
thread tension.
™
Increase the tension of the thread take-up spring,
or decrease the tension of the thread tension
controller No. 1.
™
Increase the clearance between the needle hole
guide and the counter knife. (Knife type)

™
Take it out and remove the scratches using a fine
whetstone or buff.

™
Enter thread trimming at the proper position.
™
Correct the position of the moving knife.
™
Correct the timing between the needle and the
shuttle.
™
Increase the pitch of the last stitch.
™
Replace the counter knife.
™
Increase the bend of the counter knife.
™
Make the setting high.
™
Adjust the position of the hot wire plate.

Correct the positions of the needle and shuttle.
™
Correct the positions of the needle and shuttle.
™
Replace the bent needle.
™
Increase the needle thread tension.
