This service manual is compiled as a guide for the repair and service of Brother Cover Stitch Machine model

2340CV. Almost all troubles or problems occurring on Homelock sewing machines which arise as the result

of the user's lack of knowledge or experience can be solved by following instruction book. It should be

followed carefully because many faults are caused by misuse or carelessness. We therefore recommend you to

refer to the "Check list for better sewing" in the Instruction Book before you attempt any adjustment from this

manual.

However, if it is necessary to adjust the mechanism, use this manual together with the PARTS CATALOGUE

for each model. Find the fault in question in the Fault-finding chart and follow the corrective measures in this

manual.

1. Adjust each model number circled in each illustration and instruction.

2. Symbols:

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

Height of needle bar

1. Raise the needle to its highest position.

2. Loosen the screw on the needle bar.

3. Position the needle bar so that the clearance between the point of the needle and the surface of the needle plate is

as follows:

5.8 - 6.2 mm

NOTE • When making this adjustment, keep the needle bar at its highest position by holding the handwheel. Use the

left needle of the three needles to adjust the height. After completing adjustment, check that the needle

lowers to the center of the needle descents.

HOW TO ADJUST...... Height of feed dog (with a differential feed dog)

Adjustment for height of main feed dog

1. Open the cloth plate cover, and raise needle at its highest position by turning handwheel.

2. Set the sewing pitch at "3".

3. Loosen screw 4 × 4 of vertical adjusting shaft.

4. Use a gauge to adjust the height of the feed dog so that the tips of the teeth are 0.9 - 1.1 mm above the surface of

the needle plate while turning the vertical adjusting shaft with a screwdriver.

5. After adjustment, tighten screw 4 × 4 of vertical adjusting shaft securely.

NOTE • Stitches will tend to pucker in fine fabrics or feed dog will touch needle plate, in case feed dog reaches to

higher position.

• Fabrics will not be fed sufficiently or feed dog will touch other parts like double chain looper, in case feed dog

reaches to lower position.

• Set the cut mark on the vertical adjusting shaft to the front, and then adjust the vertical adjusting shaft.

Adjustment for height of differential feed dog

Differential feed dog should be the same level as upper surface of needle plate when main feed dog goes

down and reaches the same level as upper surface of needle plate. Adjust by loosening set screw of

differential feed dog.

NOTE • Adjust at position of "1.0" of feed ratio.

• Differential feed dog should not be inclined when tightening set screw of differential feed dog.

• In case difference between height of main feed dog and differential feed dog is too much, fabrics will not be

fed correctly

HOW TO ADJUST...... Feed timing

The standard timing of the feeding: Main feed dog should be at the same level as upper surface of needle plate

when needle goes down and point of it touches upper surface of needle plate.

As the needle is descending and about to enter the needle plate hole, the feed dog must be positioned as shown

in the illustration.

NOTE • Before the adjustment, check the Height of the feed dog and set the "Sewing pitch" at "3".

• Fabrics will not be fed straightly in case feed dog is inclined.

1. Open the cloth plate cover and loosen the set screw, socket M 5 × 6 (two) of the feed eccentric wheel by means of

a hexagonal wrench.

2. Turn the feed eccentric wheel to adjust the timing as shown in the illustration.

• In case of early timing, in other words when the feed dog is still positioned over the needle plate, turn the wheel in

direction A.

• In case of late timing, in other words when the feed dog is already positioned under the needle plate, turn the wheel in

direction B.

3. Tighten the set screw, socket M 5 × 6 (two) well.

HOW TO ADJUST...... Height of presser bar

Before adjustment, remove the panel assembly. Then turn the handwheel and raise the needle to its highest

position.

1. Raise the presser lever and loosen the set screw 5.95 securing the presser bar winding.

2. To adjust the height of the presser bar, raise the presser lever, and, at the point where the presser bar is horizontal,

raise or lower it until the first step is 4.8 - 5.0 mm above the needle plate. Check also to make sure that the needle

descents of the presser bar are not noticeably out of alignment with the needle descents of the needle plate.

3. After the adjustment has been completed, tighten the set screw 5.95 securely that holds the presser bar winding in

place.
