The function of the needle thread clamping arm is to
clamp the needle thread which was handled by the wip-
er in order to prepare for the following sewing works.
Adjust the tension of the spring so that the clamping
pressure is in a range of 30 to 40 g when the cotton
needle thread No. 60 is being pulled out. This pressure
is common to all kinds of sewing threads. Therefore,
you do not need to change the aforementioned pressure
every time after a thread is replaced.
* Adjust it with care not to apply uneven pressure to
the spring.
