TENSION
OF MOTOR BELT AND TIMING BELT
STANDARD
There should be a 1.5-3.5 mm slack in the motor belt when the center of the motor belt is pressed with a force of 1N (100g). There should be a 3-4 mm slack in the timing belt when it is pressed with a force of 2N (200g).
ADJUSTMENT
Timing belt
1. Loosen the screw of the belt adjusting pulley.
2. Adjust the position of the belt adjusting pulley.
3. Tighten the screw of the belt adjusting pulley.
Motor belt
1. Loosen the two screws securing the motor holder.
2. Adjust the belt tension by moving the motor holder.
3. Tighten the two screws.

Motor belt
1. Loosen the two screws securing the motor holder.
2. Adjust the belt tension by moving the motor holder.

Adjustment
Points
1. If the timing belt tension is too loose, the belt may jump while sewing on denim and other thicker fabrics or overlapping fabric, or the feed timing or the closeness of the needle and rotary hook may prevent sewing.
2. If the motor belt tension is too tight, the torque becomes too much, causing the motor to rotate slower and generate an irregular noise.
3. If the motor belt tension is too loose, the belt may jump and the upper shaft may not rotate smoothly while sewing on denim and other thicker fabrics or overlapping fabrics, the motor may not rotate smoothly, or the upper shaft may not rotate.

1. Turn on the power with the front cover removed.
2. Press the SW5 switch.
The main seam position will change each time it is pressed: left seam position middle seam position right seam position.
3.
# Press the SW1 switch, make the feed 0, and operate at the lowest speed.
# By pressing the SW3 switch, the conditions will change as follows:
Low speed (70 RPM) Feed = 0 (Original condition)
In the conditions described above, press SW5 to change the seam position without regard to the needle position:
left seam position > right seam position left seam position …
Medium speed (410 RPM) Feed = 0
In the conditions described above, press SW5 to change the seam position without regard to the needle position:
left seam position > right seam position left seam position …
High speed (850 RPM) Feed = 0
In the conditions described above, press SW5 to change the seam position without regard to the needle position:
left seam position right seam position > left seam position …
High speed (710 RPM) triple zigzag Feed = Maximum (4mm), Z = Maximum (7mm)
Low speed (70 RPM) Feed = 0

NEEDLE
BAR HEIGHT
STANDARD
When test mode "5" is selected, turn the balance wheel so that the needle meets the rotary hook point. At this time, the clearance between the upper end of the needle eye and the bottom of the rotary hook point should be 1.0-1.4 mm.
ADJUSTMENT
1. Select test mode "5".
2. Turn the balance wheel so that the needle meets the rotary hook point.
3. Loosen the screw of the needle bar block assembly.
4. Move the needle bar vertically to adjust the clearance to between 1.0-1.4 mm.
5. Tighten the screw of the needle bar block assembly.
NOTE :The needle bar clamp should be parallel to the side of the needle plate. If the needle bar is loose when you adjust the needle bar height, it may result in sewing troubles.

PRESSER
BAR HEIGHT
STANDARD
The clearance from the needle plate top to the bottom of the presser bar should be 7.0-7.5 mm.
ADJUSTMENT
1. Raise the presser foot lifter.
2. Loosen the screw of the presser bar guide bracket.
3. Adjust the height of the presser bar by moving it vertically.
4. Tighten the screw of the presser bar guide bracket.

Adjustment
Points
1. Install presser foot J.
2. When adjusting the presser bar height, the presser foot should be parallel with the feed dog hole in the needle plate.
# A hexagonal pencil can be used to check the height.
3. If the presser foot is not parallel with the feed dog hole, the needle may contact the presser foot or the fabric may not feed straight while overcasting.
# After the presser bar height is adjusted, be sure to adjust the fabric thickness detector using test mode "2".

TIMING
BELT TENSION FOR THE X DIRECTION
STANDARD

ADJUSTMENT
1. Move the X carriage unit all the way to the right.
2. Loosen the screw of the X tension pulley.(screws (A) and (B))
