A. Button carrier and sewing width need to be changed since the distance between the center of holes (2.6 → 3.2) in a but-
ton and the numer of holes in a button (2 → 4) of the two buttons are different.
B. The feed plate needs to be adjusted in the vertical direction since the button thickness changes from 1.8 to 3.
C. The hole of the feed plate to be used needs to be changed from the small hole to the medium hole, and the adjusting
plate should be adjusted since the outside diameter of button changes from ø10 to ø15 mm.

¡ The feed plate A has three holes with different diam-
eters, i.e.,large, medium and small.
1) The small hole is used for buttons of which outside
diameter is ø10 mm to ø11.5 mm.
The medium hole is used for buttons of which outside
diameter is ø11.5 mm to ø15 mm.
The large hole is used for buttons of which outside
diameter is ø15 mm to 18 mm.
However, the aforementioned outside diameters of
the respective holes should be used as reference.
2) Adjust the adjusting plate so that E becomes 0 when
setting a button in the hole.
3) When changing over the hole to be used between the
small one and the medium one, move the frame of
