    • Attachment LFD - The elastic tape cannot be fed into the guidance of the presser foot normally.
    • (1) Check the guidance of the presser foot to confirm whether it matches the elastic tape width or not. The correct width can be done by loosening the screw on the presser foot to adjust the presser foot guide plate.
    • (2) Check whether the height of the presser foot and the horizontal and lengthwise positions of the preser foot are correct. Adjust the screw as shown in the figure to get the correct positions.
    • (3) Make sure the tape feeding step motor is right aimed at the guidance. Loosen the left/right position by adjusting the screw as shown in the figure.
    • (4) The trimmer tip is too narrow, which makes the elastic tape jammed. When adjusting the elastic tape, please loosen the fixed nut, and rotate the main shaft of the air cylinder to adjust the trimmer gauge. However, please be noted that there should be an overlap of 1 mm when the upper and the lower trimers move across to each other. Then, tighten the nut.
    • Attachment LFD - The elastic tape cannot be trimmed.
    • (1) Check whether the air pressure is enough .( 3KG～4KG)
    • (2) Does the upper trimmer overlap the lower trimmer about 1 mm? Adjust the fixed nut. Loosen and rotate the air cylinder main shaft to adjust the knife gauge to be 1 mm.
    • (3) The engagement of the upper and the lower trimmer is not enough. Loosen the screw and then tighten it a little in order to check whether the trimmer can trim the elastic tape or not. Meanwhile, please be noted that the engagement shall not be too tight. Otherwise, the trimmer and the air cylinder main shaft will be worn. Tighten the screw firmly after confirmed.
    • (4) The trimmer is worn and broken down. Replacing the trimmer is needed.
    • Attachment LFD - The step motor cannot function.
    • (1) Check if the power cord connects correctly..
    • (2) The male/female plugs might fall off or doesn’t plug well.
    • (3) Check the fuse inside the electronic box to see whether it is broken or not.
    • Attachment LFD - The sewing thread tension is not equal.
    • (1). Is the roller pressure proper? Is there any clearance of the roller?
    • (2) The tension of the elastic tape is neither equal nor well.
    • (3) The sewing speed is varied. Or, the fabric is pulled incautiously and as a result, the tension would be not even and equal.
    • (4) For adjusting the roller pressure, loosen the screw and tighten it a little until reaching the proper pressure. Then, tighten the scerw firmly.
