EMC 10 THE NEEDLE BAR WON'T COME DOWN TO SEW

Osman Bayrak

THE TAKE UP LEVER MOVES UP AND DOWN, BUT THE NEEDLE BAR WON'T COME DOWN TO SEW:

  1. Check the Jump Stitch Lever which is on the left side of the Needle Case. Make sure that the lever is not in the engaged position as seen in the Operation Manual.
  2. Another possible cause could be the Upper Dead Stop Clamp which may not be adjusted correctly. Use the instruction in the Operation Manual, to find the Head Timing Section. The adjustments can then be found in that section right after "Needle Depth".
  3. To test the Reciprocator pull the engaged needle bar down, and it should lock in the down position. If it doesn't then the Reciprocator is damaged, call your distributor.
