Installing the counter knife Refer to Fig. {7 for proper installation of the counter knife. The standard distance f fom the blade point of the counter knife to the knife thread guide, which is positioned so that the needie enters the center of its opening, i 0.5 mm (0.019"). AC this time, the blade point of the counter knife isabout 4 mm (0.157") away from the center of the needle. The blade point of the ‘counter knife is located 0.6 mm (0.0236") above the installing surface as shown in Fig. 18. ‘The sharpness of the counter knife depends upon the installing angle of the blade tip of the counter knife. ‘The proper overlap of the counter knife blade with that of the moving knife will provide the best sharpness. Whenever the counter knife has been readjusted or replaced, be sure to check the sharpness of the counter knife, and adjust the installing angle of the counter knife. The installing position of the counter knife can be moved to the right from the standard position. ‘When the counter knife has been installed in such a position, the needle and bobbin threads to be pulled out became correspondingly longer, and also the timing of thread trimming is delayed, resulting in an increased length of the thread remaining on the needle after thread trimming (Fig. 20) When using synthetic thread, the timing of thread trimming can be delayed by moving the counter knife to the right. In this case, the timing of the thread ttimmer cam must also be adjusted.
