Chapter 4. Adjustments
10. Wiper adjustment
 For vertical wiper (standard)
1. When the thread wiper solenoid plunger 
q is driven to the full stroke, the wiper w should be 15 mm in front of the
needle center. Loosen bolts 
e and shift the entire solenoid bracket r up or down to adjust.
The standard height from the solenoid setting plate 
r bottom to the needle plate top is approximately 112 mm.
2. When the wiper 
w is operated and aligned with the center of the needle bar, the distance from the wiper w to the point
of the needle should be approximately 2 mm. Loose the screw 
t and move the wiper w in or out to adjust. As shown
in Fig. A, make sure the wiper 
w does not strike the presser foot y or the needle.
Note: Make that the wiper 
w is not touching the finger guard.
 For horizontal wiper (optional)
1. Loosen the set screw 
e and move the wiper arm support r up or down to adjust so that there is a clearance of 15 - 16
mm between the bottom of the thread wiper 
q and the needle plate w when the thread wiper q is aligned with the
center of the needle bar.
2. After the thread wiper has wiped the thread, loosen the bolt 
t and move the solenoid setting plate y up or down to
adjust the distance to approximately 35 mm.
