Adler 269-373 Timing

[Yanni]

We've got an Adler 269-373 at work and I'm trying to get the timing right.

I have attached photos from both our PFAFF 335 and Adler 269-373 service manual that have different instructions for the timing.

On both machines the distance between needle and hook is 0.1mm however the distance between the top edge of the needle hole and hook point is different on these machine.

If you had one of these Adler one do you stick with the instructions of the manual or do it slightly different.

The only think I might be doing wrong is that the distance between the hook and the needle is around 0.3-0.4mm rather than 0.1mm

Shall I stick with the manual or do something similar with the PFAFF 335 and have the distance between the top edge of the needle eye from the hook point at 0.8mm?

Needle bar height and everything else is as in the manual.

Problem solved...forget what the Adler manual says.

Just do the timing based on instructions from the PFAFF 335 and it works like a dream!.
