- A photo of the old needle beside a ruler
Use Guide
- Confirm the reference against the old part and the machine plate before ordering a full machine set.
- Order one complete set per machine where the part is fitted in multiples, so wear is even across the fabric.
- Clean the mounting position before fitting. Fly and old oil are the most common cause of a new part not seating.
- Check the machine on a short run and measure the fabric before returning it to full production.
- Record the reference against the machine so the next reorder does not have to be identified again.
