Check Spring Adjustment

With the machine threaded and fabric under the presser foot turn the hand wheel towards you to

produce 3 or 4 stitches. STOP

Now continue to turn the hand wheel towards you until the thread take up lever Fig 1 is at its highest

point. STOP

The thread should have pulled the check spring down from its stop or rest point.

Continue turning the hand wheel slowly towards you until the eye of the needle has just entered the

fabric. STOP

The check spring should now be resting with no more tension on it.©

If it rests too early (before the eye has entered the fabric) slacken the tension unit screw Fig 2 and turn

the tension unit to the left about 1/8th of a turn and lock the screw back up.

If it rests too late (after the eye has entered the fabric) slacken the tension unit screw

Fig 2 and turn the tension unit to the right about 1/8th of a turn and lock the screw back up.

Continue to check and adjust as required.
