5.7 Sewing-foot strokeThe height of the sewing-foot stroke is set with adjusting wheel 1.Machines without FA (without Thread Trimmer)On these machines the speed of rotation is not checked.Please comply with the note and table below.Machines with FA (with Thread Trimmer)The sewing-foot stroke and stitch rate are interdependent. A potentiometer is linkedmechanically with the adjusting wheel 1. By means of this potentiometer the control unitdetects which foot-stroke has been set and restricts the speed accordingly.Machines with HP 13 - 7 (Speedomat)The maximum stroke can be activated while sewing is in progress with the knee switch 2.Like machines with FA, these machines also have a potentiometer.Adjusting the sewing-foot stroke– Set adjusting wheel 1.
