What is the optimum way to adjust the lining trimmer mechanism?

Document Actions
  1. Cutting-height adjustment
    This depends on the lining thickness. Make sure that the lining is not pressed against the top surface of the needle plate (knife too low) and that the knife has no play (knife too high).
  2. Lateral adjustment
    This correct when the knife rests paralle on the needle plate but does not run hot on it.
  3. Position in relation to needle
    • On styles with corners and sharp inside curves: 
      With the needle in the needle hole in its rearmost position and the knife is at the forward end of its stroke, the corner cutting edge of the knife is set behind the needle by the required cutting distance. 
    • On styles with shallow inside and outside curves:
      When the knife is at the forward end of its stroke, the corner cutting edge is set level with the point where the needle enters the needle plate.
