Replacing the Upper Knife
Replace the upper knife when it becomes dull or
nicked.
Replacement upper knives are available from
authorized Janome dealers.
1. Unplug the machine.
2. Open both the front and side covers.
3. Set the upper knife (a) in its engaged position and
lock the upper knife. (See page 62.) Remove the
upper knife by loosening the bolt (b) with the
wrench (c).
4. Brush the lower knife and the surrounding area to
clean out any accumulation of lint, etc.
Lower the upper knife to its lowest position by
turning the handwheel towards you. At this position,
put a new upper knife in place, making sure that
the edge of the blade is approximately 0.5 to 1.0
mm below the surface of the lower knife (d).
Tighten the bolt (b) firmly. Unlock the upper knife.
NOTE:
The lower knife is made of a special hard alloy and will
not normally have to be replaced.
