Adjustment procedures
Position the needle thread heat cutter unit
with reference to the top surface of the
material and the needle.
Loosen heater up/down adjustment screw
A and adjust the height of the heat wire
from the top surface of material ① to 1 to
2 mm.
Loosen heater right/left adjustment screw
B and adjust the distance of the heat wire
③
from needle ② to 3 to 5 mm.
①
Loosen setscrew ❶ to adjust position of
wiper ③ so that it is, as a guide, 13 to 15
②
mm away from the needle.
Remember that the aforementioned ad-
justment values are mere guides. Make
the aforementioned adjustments so that
the length of thread remaining on the top
surface of the material is 2 to 5 mm by
actually trimming the thread.
Adjust the length of thread remaining at
the needle eyelet to 25 to 30 mm as a
guide. In addition, the adjustment values
may vary with the material and stitch
length. It is, therefore, necessary to adjust
to minimize the length of thread remaining
at the needle eyelet as long as the thread
does not slip off the eyelet.
