Set the stitch pattern at " "; the standard needle drop position should be at the center of the needle plate
hole.
When the needle swings in maximum zigzag width " ", the distance between both ends of the needle hole on
the needle plate and the needle should be 0.2 mm or more. If not, adjust as follows.
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE:
1. Turn on the power switch, set the stitch pattern at straight " " and the zigzag width at maximum " " then
check the needle drop position.
2. If the needle drop position is not in the center of the needle plate hole when the straight stitch is selected, or if
the clearance between the needle and edge of the needle plate hole on both side is less than 0.2 mm when the
stitch pattern is set to maximum zigzag width, remove the face cover and loosen the setscrew, then adjust the
needle drop position by turning the eccentric pin.
NOTE:
Make sure the eccentric pin is positioned with its off-center head facing downward.
3. When you have finished adjusting the needle drop position, tighten the setscrew and install the face cover.

OILING
Factory lubricated parts will provide years of household sewing without routine oiling, but you should still check for
possible lubrication needs whenever servicing machines.
OIL:
Use good quality sewing machine oil at the points (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J & K) indicated by the black arrows.
GREASE:
Use white grease such as molycote em-40m at the points (L& M) indicated by the white arrows.
