- Insert the Hook Retaining Finger Gauge between the Rotary Hook Support (Retaining Finger) and the Hook Basket. If the gauge does not slide in easily, do not force it. Forcing it may scratch the highly polished surface of the Rotary Hook Support or Hook Basket, which could damage the hook and result in excessive thread breaks.
- The Hook Retaining Finger Gauge should slide between the Rotary Hook Support and the Hook Basket with no resistance and the gap between the hook support and hook basket should not be more than 1.1 times the thickness of the gauge.
- The tip of the Rotary Hook Support should be flush with the top of the Hook Basket.
