6-6. Adjusting the stitch length

The feed amount is set by means of the feed adjustment dial q.The scale is a guide only; if the length of the finished stitches differs greatly from the scale value, make the followingadjustment.

1. Turn the feed adjustment dial q clockwise as far as it will go so that the stopper w touches the pin e.2. Push the pin e using a screwdriver or similar tool to separate it from the stopper w, and check that the feed

adjustment dial q cannot be turned any further clockwise even when this is done.If the feed adjustment dial can be turned further, turn it until it cannot turn any further.Loosen the screw r, turn only the dial section of the feed adjustment dial q so that the stopper w touches thepin e, and then tighten the screw r.

<If adjusting the forward feed amount and reverse feed amount so that they are the same>

3. Set the feed adjustment dial q as indicated in the table.4. Turn the condensed stitch adjustment dial u counterclockwise as far as it will go.5. Adjust the feed amount so that the length of material fed after 10 stitches (after the machine pulley rotates 11

times) and the length of reverse feed when the reverse lever i is pressed (after the machine pulley rotates 11times) match the distances given in the table.

6. Loosen the set screw t and turn the eccentric pin y to adjust the feed amount.* After adjusting, carry out the "<Backtacking and condensed stitches>" adjustment in the next section also.

6-9. Adjusting the right/left position of the needle bar

Adjust so that the needle is almost exactly in the center of the groove in the needle plate hole when the power isturned on, the zigzag width is set to zero on the operation panel (when the PATTERN key is set to "1" (straight stitch),the zigzag width will become 0.0 mm) and the zigzag reference line position is set to 0 mm.

1. Turn off the power switch.2. Remove the presser foot and the rear cover while making this adjustment.3. Adjust so that the clearance between the edge of the zigzag joint q and the edge of the bushing w on the ma-

chine head is the same as the width 1 on timing gauge "A" e when the needle is in the center of the needle platehole (groove).Loosen the screw r of the zigzag joint q to adjust.

* After adjusting, securely tighten the screw r, while being careful not to screw it in too tightly and so that thezigzag joint q does not get twisted.

4. Turn on the power.5. Press the TEST key t on the operation panel and check that the TEST indicator y illuminates.

(Be sure to carry out this step as a safety measure. It will prevent the sewing machine motor from operating evenif the treadle is depressed.)

6. Use the operation panel keys to set the zigzag width and the zigzag reference line position to “0”. Refer to theinstruction manual for details on how to make these settings.After making the settings, press the SET key u. The needle bar will then move sideways to determine the homeposition.If the needle home position does not align with the center of the needle plate hole (groove), make the followingadjustment.

7. Adjust the home position sensor t so that the needle home position is aligned with the center of the needle platehole (groove).Loosen the screw y, and then move the home position sensor t by the same distance that the needle homeposition is out of alignment.After adjusting, press the SET key u twice so that the needle bar moves to the home position.Repeat this step until the needle home position is aligned with the center of the needle plate hole.

8. Press the TEST key t on the operation panel. The TEST indicator y will switch off and the sewing machine willreturn to normal sewing mode. Then press the power switch to turn off the power.

7. TROUBLESHOOTING

• Please check the following points before calling for repairs or service.• If the following suggestions do not solve the problem, turn off the machine power supply and contact your nearest

Brother service center.

DANGER

CAUTION

Wait at least 5 minutes after turning off the power switch and disconnecting the power cord from the walloutlet before opening the face plate of the control box. Touching areas where high voltages are present canresult in severe injury.

Turn off the power switch and disconnect the power cord before carrying out troubleshooting, otherwise themachine will operate if the treadle is pressed by mistake, which could result in injury.

1. Upper thread is not tight. • Is the upper thread tension too weak, or is the lower thread ten-sion too strong?Adjust the upper thread tension or lower thread tension.

2. Lower thread is not tight. • Is the lower thread tension too weak, or is the upper thread ten-sion too strong?Adjust the lower thread tension or upper thread tension.

3. Skipped stitches occurwhile sewing

• Is the needle tip bent? Is the needle tip blunt?If the needle tip is bent or broken, replace the needle.

• Is the needle properly installed?If it is incorrect, install the needle correctly.

• Is the machine properly threaded?If it is incorrect, thread the thread correctly.

• Is the presser foot pressure too weak?Adjust the presser foot pressure.

• Is the needle bent, is the needle tip broken, or is the needle holeblocked?Replace the needle.

• Is the needle and rotary hook timing incorrect?Adjust the height of the needle bar.Adjust the clearance between the needle and the rotary hook.

• It is extremely dangerous to leave any pieces of brokenneedle sticking in the material. If the needle breaks, searchfor all pieces until the whole of the needle is found again.

• Furthermore, we recommend that through steps be taken toaccount for such needles to comply with product liabilityregulations.

12. Incorrect thread trimming(upper and lower threadsare both not beingtrimmed). (B856E)

• Is the fixed knife or movable knife damaged or worn?Replace the fixed knife or the movable knife.

• Is the thread trimming timing correct?Adjust the rotating direction of the thread trimming cam.

13. Incorrect thread trimming(upper thread or lowerthread is not beingtrimmed). (B856E)

• Is the neelde properly installed?If it is incorrect, install the needle correclty.

• Is the fixed knife or movable knife blunt?Replace the fixed knife or the movable knife.

• Do skipped stitches occur during sewing?Refer to “Skipped stitches during sewing”.

14. The thread wiper does notwipe the thread.(B856E-40|, 90|)

• Is the length of thread trailing from the needle hole too longafter thread trimming?Adjust the upper thread feeding device.

8-1. Precautions at the time of adjustment

Pay attention to the following when opening the control box for maintenance.

[ Electric shock ]Some large capacitors may have a high voltage remaining in them for up to 5 minutes after the power is turned off.To prevent electric shock, wait at least 5 minutes after the power is turned off before doing the following:• Opening and closing the control box• Replacing fuses• Separating and joining connectors• Measuring resistance• Doing anything with a possibility of touching something inside the control boxSome adjustments require measuring the voltage while the power is turned on with the control box kept open.In such a case, be careful not to touch any place other than that for the measurement. In addition, always keep in mindthat a high voltage remains for 5 minutes after the power is turned off.

[ Injury ]While the power is turned on, the cooling fan of the control box operates; be careful not to get caught in it. Whenseparating or rejoining connectors, and measuring something, be careful not to cut your fingers on metal parts such asheatsinks and covers.

8-2. Components inside the control box

The following are brief explanations of components inside the control box. See control circuit block diagram at the endof this manual for the details of the connections.

< Control circuit board >The main circuit board is fixed to the rear panel of the control box. This PCB serves to control machine operation.

< Power supply circuit board >The power supply circuit board is fixed at the bottom of the control box. Furthermore, the power IC for driving thesewing machine motor is also located here.

< DC fan motor 1 >Discharges air in the control box.Clean the inlet filter monthly.

< DC fan motor 2 >Cools the heatsink on the PCB.

< Power supply transformer >This transformer generates the voltage which is needed to by the solenoid and the needle zigzag motor drive circuit.

< Conversion transformer > (depending on power supply voltage specification)Adjusts the power voltage so that it is that required for the PCB.There are two types of transformers : a high voltage transformer is equipped with 240 V, 380 V, 400 V, and 415 Vspecifications ; a low voltage transformer is equipped with 100 V and 110 V specifications.

Always turn off the power supply before changing any of the DIP switchsettings.

DIP SW1* indicates a factory setting. (Machine motor (Upper shaft driving motor) mechanism)

DIP SW2* indicates a factory setting. (Needle zigzagging mechanism)

Table 2 : Zigzag width limit

Table 3 : Start position of plain, 2-step, and 3-step zigzag (Note. 1)

The start position refers to a position of one of the following cases: immediately after the power is turned ON, after thesetting by the SET key, after the treadle is depressed backward when the pattern reset function is ON. For the otherpatterns, the start position is the beginning of the pattern regardless of the DIPSW settings.

1. Pay attention to the following when opening the control box for maintenance.[ Electric shock ]

Some large capacitors may have a high voltage remaining in them for up to 5 minutes after the power is turned off.To prevent electric shock, wait at least 5 minutes after the power is turned off before doing the following:• Opening and closing the control box• Replacing fuses• Separating and joining connectors• Measuring resistance• Doing anything with a possibility of touching something inside the control boxSome adjustments require measuring the voltage while the power is turned on with the control box kept open.In such a case, be careful not to touch any place other than that for the measurement. In addition, always keep inmind that a high voltage remains for 5 minutes after the power is turned off.

[ Injury ]

While the power is turned on, the cooling fan of the control box operates; be careful not to get caught in it. Whenseparating or rejoining connectors, and measuring something, be careful not to cut your fingers on metal partssuch as heatsinks and covers.

2. When replacing a fuse, be sure to use the specified ones listed "8-3. Fuse explanation" (Page 8-04,05).3. See control circuit block diagram at the end of this manual for the connector No. and the connections.

Before adjustment

1. With the power turned off, check that the connector are securely connected by following the procedure in "8-4.Connectors" (page 8-06).

2. Use the flow chart to ascertain the conditions (# x) under which the problem occurred.3. When checking the reason for a particular problem, carry out the checks in the order given in the "Probable causes"

column.
