FAQ

Calculate the **precise** tension setting for 3-ply wool? keyboard_arrow_down

7 is the standard setting for plain knitting with 3-ply wool, where the two arrows meet on the tension dial which ranges from 0 (tightest) to 10 (loosest).

What values establish the **proper** assembly sequence? keyboard_arrow_down

4 major steps comprise the setup order: Carriage setup, Needle Bed preparation, Threading the Yarn Tension Unit, and Casting On, with the 50th needle on each side serving as the center reference point.

Assess the **standard** service interval parameters? keyboard_arrow_down

Before each use is the maintenance frequency required, including cleaning the needle bed and carriage slides, oiling front and rear rails, and ensuring the oil cap is functioning properly before every knitting session.

What components are **necessary** for system architecture? keyboard_arrow_down

44 stitches (or 48, 52 for larger sizes) cast-on values anchor the needle bed assembly, supported by the L-Carriage system, Auxiliary rail fasteners, 8 pattern selector buttons, and Holding Cam Lever with 3 positions (I, II, III) as documented in the replacement procedures on pages 56-63.
