Eccentric part
(1) When the crank shaft 0 rotates in the direction of the arrow, the needle driving crank rod assembly @
moves up and down on the eccentric part of the crank shaft.
(2) The needle driving crank rod assembly @ moves the needle bar clamp assembly e up and down via
the needle shaft@).
(3) The needle bar @) attached to the needle bar clamp assembly e is guided by needle bar bushes (U) <9
and (D) 6, and is moved up and down.
Eccentric part
(1) When the crank shaft 0 rotates in the direction of the arrow, the under looper connecting rod @
mounted on the eccentric part of the crank shaft moves up and down.
(2) The under looper shaft arm@) oscillates.
(3) The motion is transmitted to the under looper holder 0 and the under looper @} via the under looper
shaft e.
( Eccentric part
(1) When the crank shaft 0 rotates in the direction of the arrow, the over looper connecting rod assembly
@ moves up and down on the eccentric part of the crank shaft.
(2) The over looper connecting rod assembly @ oscillates the over looper arm 0 via the shaft arm @) and
the over looper shaft 0.
(3) The motion is transmitted to the over looper holder 6 via the over looper guide holder @, then the
over looper@) follows the ideal track.
[Oscillating mechanism]
(1) When the presser foot lifter lever 0 is lowered in the direction of the arrow, the presser bar lifter lever
@}is moved downward via the presser bar lifter link@.
(2) The presser bar lifter arm 0, attached to the presser bar lifter lever @) and the presser arm shaft 9,
e
moves the presser arm fi up via the presser arm shaft and the pin(!).
(3) When the presser bar lifter @) is lowered in the direction of the arrow, the presser bar assembly @) is
caught by the end of the presser bar lifter @), and is raised. The presser arm fi is released from the
pressure of the presser spring en>.

Slide block
JGathering feeding
* The differential ratio is adjusted by changing the height of the slide block against that of the main feed
shaft 0. To acquire a bigger differential ratio, change the height of the main feed shaft 0.
(1) The differential feed lever @) moves the slide block on the differential feed arm @ vertically via the
e
differential link lever and the differential feed adjust link@.
(2) The differential feed amount is transmitted to the differential feed bar fi via the differential feed link
@), and the differential feed dog @) operates.
* For gathering feeding, the differential feed lever@) is set to lower position.
For stretched feeding, the differential feed lever @) is set to upper position.
Reference mark
(1) When the feed adjust shaft 0 is pressed around the eccentric cam of the eccentric wheel assembly
with a finger and the pulley @ is turned in the direction of the arrow, the tip of the feed adjust shaft
0 enters part® of the eccentric cam.
(2) The stitch length can be adjusted by turning the pulley while the tip of the feed adjust shaft 0 enters
part® of the eccentric cam with the feed adjust shaft 0 pressed.
It is convenient to align the graduations on the pulley@ with the reference mark on the belt cover@).
* After changing the stitch length, it can be fixed using the screw.
(1) When the crank shaft 0 rotates in the direction of the arrow, the feed rod @) moves back and forth on
the eccentric wheel @.
(2) The motion is transmitted to the level feed adjust arm block assembly (9 via the feed arm e
and the
feed shaft 0. The horizontal feed amount is transmitted to the feed arm @ via the feed rock Iink fj,
and the feed arm@ oscillates.
(3) The level feed crank shaft @) transmits the motion to the upper feed bar G!>, and the upper feed bar G!>
is moved horizontally.
When the position of the slide block 0 is changed using the level feed adjust lever @) via the feed adjust
plate 0 and the level feed adjust lever shaft @,the rocking amount of the feed arm 6 is changed via the
feed rock link@. Then, the horizontal feed amount of the upper feed dog is changed.
Eccentric part
(1) When the crank shaft 0 rotates in the direction of the arrow, the upper knife driving rod @ moves up
and down.
(2) The motion is transmitted to the vertical feed adjust arm block assembly 0 via the upper knife
differential arm@) the vertical feed amount is transmitted to the feed lifting link@) and the feed arm
I I
When the position of the slide block 0 is changed using the vertical feed adjust lever @ via adjust lever
shaft (UL) 0, the rocking amount of the feed arm (§}is changed via the feed lifting link 0. Then, the
horizontal feed amount of the upper feed dog is changed.
