ADJUSTMENTS

(figure   4-9   [A])   to   press   against   the   back   of   its opening.   The   bobbin-case   opener   moves   the bobbin   case   counterclockwise   to   allow   the   thread to   pass   around   the   bobbin-case-opener   lug.   If   the opener   is   adjusted   too   tight,   damage   to   many parts   may   occur;   and   if   the   opener   is   not   set   tight enough,   extreme   upper   thread   tension   may   be necessary   to   lock   the   stitch   properly.   Adjusting the   bobbin-case   opener   is   accomplished   as follows: a.   Turn   the   balance   wheel   toward   the operator  until  the  bobbin-case-opener  lever  (figure 4-9   [C])   moves   as   far   to   the   right   as   possible. b.   If   the   bobbin-case   opener   (figure   4-9 [D])   has   been   removed,   reinstall   it   at   this   time. Do   not   tighten   the   adjusting   screw   (figure   4-9   [E]) at   this   time. c.   Place   two   thicknesses   of   paper,   as   a gauge,   between   the   tip   of   the   bobbin-case   opener and   its   projection   on   the   bobbin   case. d.   Move   the   bobbin-case   opener   right   or left  as  necessary  to  cause  the  bobbin  case  to  move as  far  to  the  right  as  possible  without  binding. e.   Tighten   the   bobbin-case-opener   ad- justing   screw. f.   Turn   the   balance   wheel   toward   the o p e r a t o r    a n d    o b s e r v e    t h e    o p e r a t i o n    o f    t he bobbin   case   and   its   opener.   Ensure   no   binds   are present   and   that   the   bobbin   case   is   pulled counterclockwise   as   far   as   possible   with   each rotation   of   the   hook. 2.   Adjusting   the   total   relative   lift   of   the alternating    pressers The   total   relative   lift   of   the   alternating pressers   referred   to   here   is   that   the   feet   lift one-half   inch   at   total   lift.   Maximum   lift   of   the alternating   pressers   is   set   to   sew   on   heavier   goods. There   are   two   types   of   adjustments,   and   either type  may  be  found  on  a  given  machine.  The  first type   of   alternating   presser   (figure   4-10A)   is   usually found   on   earlier   sewing   machines,   while   the second   type   of   alternating   presser   (figure   4-10B) seems   to   be   in   current   manufacture. a.   Adjusting   the   first   type   of   alternating presser   is   accomplished   as   follows: (1)   Turn   the   balance   wheel   toward   the operator   until   the   presser-lifting   eccentric   lock screw   (figure   4-10A   [A])   is   visible   inside   the opening   at   the   back   of   the   arm   of   the   machine. (See  figure  4-11  [A],  table  4-3,  foldout  at  end  of this   chapter.) NOTE:   Figure   4-10A   shows   two   setscrews (B).   They   are   used   to   hold   the   presser-lifting eccentric   in   place   on   the   feed-driving   rockshaft. The   adjusting   screw   is   not   visible   in   this   figure. (2)  Loosen  the  lock  screw  and  turn  the balance   wheel   until   the   adjusting   screw   is   visible in  the  opening  in  the  back  of  the  arm.  (See  figure 4-11   [A].) (3)   Turn   the   adjusting   screw   counter- clockwise   to   obtain   maximum   total   lift   of   the pressers. (4)   Turn   the   balance   wheel   toward   the operator   until   the   lock   screw   is   visible   in   the opening  in  the  back  of  the  arm  and  retighten  the lock   screw. b.  Adjusting  the  second  type  of  alternating presser   is   accomplished   as   follows: (1)   Loosen   the   presser-lifting   eccentric adjusting   wing   nut   (figure   4-10B   [A]). (2)   Move   the   assembly   up   to   decrease the   lift   or   down   to   increase   the   total   lift   of   the alternating    pressers. (3)   Tighten   the   wing   nut. 3.  Adjusting  the  relative  lift  of  the  alternating pressers The   alternating   presser   feet   should   each   lift t o    a p p r o x i m a t e l y    t h e    s a m e    h e i g h t .    D o    n ot confuse  relative  lift  with  total  lift.  Here  we  are adjusting   the   presser   feet   to   lift   to   approximately the  same  height.  Adjusting  the  relative  lift  of  the alternating   pressers   is   accomplished   as   follows: a.   Turn   the   balance   wheel   toward   the operator  and  observe  the  action  of  the  alternating pressers.  If  they  do  not  lift  equally,  proceed  to step   b. b.   Turn   the   balance   wheel   until   the   foot that   lifts   too   high   is   just   above   the   throat   plate. c.   Loosen   the   presser-lifting   link   crank pinch   screw   (figure   4-11   [B]).   The   foot   should snap  down;  if  it  does  not,  push  it  down. d.   Tighten   the   presser-lifting   link   crank pinch   screw. e.   Repeat   step   a.   If   necessary   repeat   steps b   through   d   until   the   feet   lift   to   the   same   height. 4.  Adjusting  the  lifting  linkage  of  the  alter- nating   pressers To  set  the  lifting  linkage,  you  must  loosen the   lifting   crank   pinch   screw   (figure   4-11   [B])   and 4-9
