WARNING :
To avoid the risk of fire, electric shock, injury to persons or damage to
components, especially keep the following:
• When disassembling, assembling or adjusting the sewing machine, remove the power plug.
• When assembling, be careful about the electrical cord being caught with other components,
damage to the covered parts of the cord or miswiring.
• When replacing the part(s), use the genuine part(s).

(5) Needle bar rocking mechanism

1. Needle bar rocking method : By the arc method

2. Straight stitching : Left, center, right

3. Stitch width : Max. 6 mm depending on the stitch pattern

4. Adjustment of stitch width : By sliding the lever (The stitch width adjusting mechanism is effective when
the manual operation indication LED lights up.)
When manually adjusting, notice of change-over of the set value is given by
the buzzer sound.*
As for the part of automatic set value, the notice is given by the flash on/off of
LED.*

5. Standard line : Left standard line

6. Needle bar driving system : By a stepping motor

2. Reverse feed amount : 0 to 2.4 mm

3. Adjustment of feed amount : By sliding the lever (The feed amount adjusting mechanism is effective when
the manual operation indication LED lights up.)
When manually adjusting, notice of change-over of the set value is given by
the buzzer sound.*
As for the part of automatic set value, the notice is given by the flash on/off of
LED.*

4. Reverse feed stitch : The machine performs reverse feed stitching at low speed only when the
switch is ON.

5. Feed mechanism : By a stepping motor

(7) Special-purpose mechanism

1. Automatic thread trimmer The moving knife trims the thread while the main shaft makes a revolution (
or a shaft revolution form its lower stop position) by setting the operation
lever to the thread trimming position. (116 rpm)

2. Automatic needle threading device The hook automatically rotates and returns to its home position by lowering
the threading lever.

3. Automatic buttonholing Auto-return type full automatic buttonholing

Buttonhole size can be specified as desired. When the buttonhole is fin-
ished, the machine automatically stops after performing fastening stitching.
(The machine gives an error message on the LCD to prevent the operator
from starting the machine without setting the machine for the buttonholing.)

4. Selection of stitch patterns Straight stitch Direct selection by the touch switch *
Other stitch patterns by shift selection (99 stitch patterns)*
Shift direction change-over switch is provided. *

needle bar the synchronizer shielding plate and photo-interrupter.
· Needle bar stops in its lowest position at the time of the end of sewing.
· Needle bar stops in its highest position when the stitch pattern is selected
while it stops in its lowest position.
· Needle bar stops in its highest position at the time of thread trimming,
bobbin winding or lifting the presser foot.

8. Prevention of incorrect needle A needle can be attached on the machine only when installing direction of
insertion the needle is correct.

9. Prevention of overheat If the sewing machine rotation is locked for two seconds, the power to the
motor is automatically turned OFF. When the temperature of the motor ab-
normally rise, the power to the motor is turned OFF.
(Thermal cut) After the temperature of the motor has sufficiently lowered, the
machine can be started.

11. Presser foot storage box Presser feet supplied as standard accessories of the machine are stored in
the auxiliary bed of the main unit of the sewing machine.

12. Automatic lock stitch When the lock stitch is set, 3-stitches of the lock stitch are automatically per-
formed at sewing -start & -end.
In case of the one-point stitch pattern, the lock stitch switch is automatically
turned ON. *

11. Adjusting the tension

11-1. Principles of the thread tension mechanism

1. There are thick threads to thin threads. Normal thread tension unit adjusts the thread tension by one thread
tension unit against each thread.
HZL-T100, by adopting the principle by which the tension is individually secured according to the thickness of
the thread used, enable the users to adjust the thread tension with ease.

[Principle diagram]

[Role]
· Base tension (untwisiting)
Base tension performs to remove the twisting so as the thread twisting not to enter the thread paths.
(Attached in the rear side of the arm cover.)
· Pre-tension Thread thickness and effect tension

· 1st tension (main tension)
This tension basically gives the tension to thin thread.
This tension has the function of manual tension adjustment as well.
· 2nd tension
This tension is located at clearance B for medium-weight thread to correspond to medium-sized thread.
Medium-weight thread is given the proper tension mainly by (2) + (3).

2. External adjusting function to re-set the thread tension is provided for users’ choice.
The mechanism that the tension cam holds the dial can disengage the engagement of the both ratchets
by inserting a small-sized slit screwdriver or the like.
By shifting the both position in this state, re-setting of the dial granduation can be performed.

How to adjust
· In case adjusting the tension after assembling the front panel and arm cover is desired, the dial of 1st tension
can be adjusted because of the machine construction.
1. By inserting a small-sized slit screwdriver into the center of the groove located in the rear side of the tension
knob, the engagement of the knob and the tension cam be disengaged.
2. Adjustment can be performed by moving the tension cam or the knob to the right or left. However, the
adjustment should be performed within the 4th tooth of the right or left side.
In case the adjustment more than 4th tooth is necessary, re-check the tension components.
(For the angle, the adjustment is in the range of 15º left or 15º right. For the reference there are 4 small
holes at the rim of the knob and the angle between the respective small holes is in a unit of 15º each.)

3. Raise the operation lever, and pass a fine thin thread of polyester
through the base tension, pre-tension and 1st tension.
* Use a thread of diameter that can pass through the groove section
of the pre-tension disk and that the tension of the pre-tension is Fine thin thread Pre-tension
not put on the thread.

4. Lower the operation lever, and attach the tip of fine thin thread to the tension gauge. Then loosen the nut j and
turn the screw l so that the tension becomes 0.107±0.019N (11±2g). (The thread should not touch the
components around the 2nd tension.)
Turn the screw l clockwise Decrease the tension.
Turn the screw l counterclockwise Increase the tension.
5. After the adjustment, tighten the nut j .
6. Then adjust the total tensions (base tension, pre-tension, 1st tension and 2nd tension).
Replace the thread with the Dual Duty #50, and loosen the nut k of the 2nd tension and turn the adjusting
screw m so that the total tensions become 0.294±0.019N (30±2g).
7. After re-checking the tension, perform a trial sewing.
If further adjustment is necessary, make a fine adjustment using the screw m of the 2nd tension.
