• Chp has collected.
• Knfe pressure s too hgh and the knfe blade
has broken.
• The clearance between the needle and the
looper varies according to the angle (0˚, 90˚ and
180˚).
• The clearance between the needle and the
needle guard s too large or the needle and the
needle guard come n excessve contact wth
each other.
• The needle does not fit the kind of throat plate
(needle sze used).
Corrective measure
• Adjust the sewng condtons to obtan an approprate
thread tenson.
• Check and adjust the nstallng poston.
• Adjust the clearance between the looper and the needle
properly. Adjust the tmng to open/close the spreaders properly.
• Check and adjust the clearance.
• Adjust the center of the needle.
• Check and adjust the clearance.
• Check and adjust the heght of the needle bar.
• Use the throat plate sutable for the needle.
• Increase the feedng amount of needle thread.
• Compensate the length by lengthwse compensaton of
left parallel secton of the data compensaton.
• Compensate the poston by lengthwse compensaton
of left eyelet of the data compensaton.
• Compensate the nclnaton by turnng compensaton of
parallel secton of the data compensaton.
• Adjust so that the left- and rght-hand sde cloth openng
amounts are equal.
• Check and adjust the knfe droppng poston.
• Indvdually set the left- and rght-hand sdes of cut
space.
• Set the turnng compensaton/parallel secton turnng compensaton.
• Set the eyelet crosswse compensaton/lengthwse compensaton.

space.
• Grnd the knfe or replace t wth a new one.
• Check and adjust the stroke.
• Adjust the nstallng poston (clearance between needle
and knfe) of the knfe.
• Refer to "1. Sttch skppng".
• Check and adjust the movng blade and the thread
separatng poston.
• Grnd the knfe or replace t wth a new one.
• Check and adjust the stroke.
