Egwyddorion Gweithredu

Once correctly installed, the lower looper plays a vital role in the serging process. As the needles penetrate the fabric, the lower looper moves into position to catch the needle thread. It then works in conjunction with the upper looper to interlock the threads, forming the characteristic overlock stitch along the fabric edge. Proper timing and smooth movement of the lower looper are crucial for consistent and high-quality stitch formation.

• Iro: Refer to your serger's main instruction manual for specific lubrication points and recommended oil types. Apply oil sparingly to moving parts as directed.
• Arolygiad: Periodically inspect the lower looper for any signs of wear, bending, or damage. A damaged looper can cause skipped stitches or thread breakage. Replace if necessary.
