If the left side is too open, turn the buttonhole
fine-adjustment screw with a large
screwdriver in the
“–” direction.
If the left side is too tight, turn the buttonhole
fine-adjustment screw with a large
screwdriver in the
“+” direction.
• This adjustment ensures both sides of the
buttonhole are the same.
