If one of both settings are incorrect, there will be errors in the fabric or the needles will be damaged.
The yarn carriers are correctly adjusted if
- the thread is laid on the open latch at exactly the same point by each yarn carrier for both selvedge needles
- the yarn carrier tips move exactly between the needle beds in the needle cross and the distance between yarn carrier tips and the closed needle latch is 0.5 mm to 1 mm
- the yarn carriers of the track 1 and 16 are set 0.5 mm higher additionally so that they do not touch the limiters 3
- the yarn carrier in the clamping and cutting area does not press the cutting needle 4 located in the working position
