4. Burred/Damaged Shuttle Gib Hook or Retaining Ring Cap Spring
A machine crash or needle strike to the Shuttle Gib Hook (A) or Retaining Ring Cap Spring (B) may
result in a burr or damage, which can cause the thread to snag.
Remove any burrs by polishing them with emery paper or a fine file. If badly damaged, replace
with a new Retaining Ring Cap Spring (#1603), and/or a new Shuttle Gib Hook (#9601).
5. Machine Has Gone Out of Timing
If skipped stitches continue, the machine has probably gone out of timing. The timing is checked by
determining the relationship of the needle to the gib hook point.
To reset the timing on your Leatherwork, follow the steps outlined on p. 39 “Leatherwork Timing.”
