Did you see this recent thread? Is contains find the service manual This looks fine to me
-
According to the manual they are both for foot pressure. i think the small one is ment for fine tuning
-
Searching for an odd machine oil. Assistance.

If it is sold as sewing machine oil your machine will be fine -
I hope I am clear enough my (technical) English is not good

Here you find the partbooks https://www.college-sewing.co.uk/parts-books/durkopp-adler-sewing-machine-parts-books.html but i think you have a change your barrel hook race is threaded on the backside and you can make your adjustment by making turns anti clockwise
-
I might be wrong but i think i have had a 166 where one can turn the race for the barrelhook to move it front and backwards you could try that….
-
I think i had some help from the service manual for the adler 366 when I worked on my adler 166
-
Hook setup is the same as adler 205-102 adler 266 and adler 366 (Part 266 15 on this one) I think the hookdriver act as an needle guard
-
If I remember correctly, the distance is set with shims
-
Some older machines had their outer presserfoot moving back by the force of a spring
-
Turns out its an german language only version (I am sorry) But You might be able to translate it online if you sent a pm with your email adres i can sent it by email (i think i do have a service manual for the adler 167 in english, you might be able to use that as well)
-
I do have a service manual (it did help me with my 169) maybe a moderator can help me to post it because its bigger than 1.46 mb
-
In your OP You asked for needle-feed. i doubt if these machines have needle feed. i might be wrong but I don’nt think i have ever seen the combination jump foot (with a spring) and needle feed….
-
Do you have a service manual? In my experience, it's best to do all the settings in the order described if you really want the machine adjusted properly Michiel

Wheel feed issue - problem or design limitation?
Michiel replied to ElfLeather's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Yes, you should try to get the feed dog higher. shoul be possible from the underside of the machine
