Thanks Miker, now you have made a very nice video. I agree with you, that the movements seems odd. I think you need people to Watch this, that have much more specialized knowledge of the same kind of machine. Sorry, I cannot help you.

Pretty sure UWE had a video on this but with a different machine - as far as I recall... or not?

is the class 168 similar to the 68? Because i have a detailed service manual for 168! As i can see from the exploded views the 168 have a  shorter stick than  68-4563L and the position of the hook is from the right side of the needle, on the 68 is from the left side

according to the international service center in Germany the machine is ok!

I will keep it as it is but i still believe that it's not perfect!

Can you post a few picture of your machine from all sides, including the top and underside?

It seems to me the feed motion needs to be advanced a little so that it is all the way forward by the time the needle comes down. It's hard to guess exactly how your machine is configured underneath. My Adler 68 had independent top and bottom feed, so it probably looks very different from your machine underneath.

In any case, a few detailed pictures with good lighting and focus may allow us to suggest possible adjustments and draw arrows on the pictures to explain what we are talking about.

I only have the German language version of the Adler 68 Service Manual: Adler 68 Justieranleitung.pdf

I does describe how to adjust the feed motion to make it as close to a rectangle as possible on Pages  16 and 17. Basically, the eccentric 58 can be adjusted to change when the feed dog comes up and goes down.

I also have this manual! Only in german damn it! I have some german friends and i will ask their help to translate. I will make the photos tomorrow!

The funny thing is that the machine came like this from a service center
