Adjusting

Adjust engaging width:

    1
    Loosen both screws (1).
    2
    Push insert (2) into the desired position.
    A scale simplifies the adjustment.
    3
    Retighten both screws (1).
    4
    Repeat the setting process for the other side.

The entire engaging width consists of the value for the left (Ua) and the right (Ub) side.
Both values may be equal (symmetrical setting) or may differ.

Clamping and cutting with component type 000 and 001:

If the engaging width is set to 46 mm, then the catch hook (3) may strike against the yarn carrier and thereby damage the catch hook or the yarn carrier.
Remedy:
a) Reduce the engaging value.
b) Work without Clamping and cutting.
