The needle bar stroke is preset in the factory according to requirement. The
needle bar stroke can be modifi ed later if specifi c operating conditions make it
necessary to do so.

limited to 3800 spm.
Via the hand wheel, turn crank 1 until the screws 2 can be accessed from the side ope-
ning of the housing.
Turn eccentric 3 (screws 2) as far as possible toward "+" (= large needle bar stroke) or to-
ward "-" (= small needle bar stroke).
Adjust needle height (see chapter 1.05.02 Preadjusting the needle height and /or chap-
ter 1.05.14 Needle rise, hook-to-needle clearance, needle height and bobbin case po-
sition fi nger.
