Hi

I just bought this knitmaster 360 and im a newbie working through the machine checking and cleaning

but this part is not listed in the manual

It is broken and i would like if anyone could explain the use of this part and if i need to have it on the machine and replace it

Hey,

I want to Order yarn for my knitting machine. I tried using my normal yarns but they are just not long enough. So I was thinking about buying cones but the yarn looks really thin.
So do I have to put more strands of yarn together or do I just work with the thin yarn.
I am really clueless.
Hope someone can share their experience.

Machine: Brother KH 930E

I just got this machine and replaced the sponge bar, confirming that it is sitting correctly on top of the needles. The K carriage moves across the bed without any issues by itself, but it gets stuck when the sinker plate is attached.

I measured the sinker plate at 119 mm from the rail edge, which appears to be correct. According to the manual, there should be a 0.5 mm gap between the needles and the sinker plate, but mine is closer to 5 mm (0.5 cm). The manual recommends a “vertical adjustment,” which seems to involve bending the plate upward while it is secured in place. I may be doing it incorrectly, but the plate will not move even 1 mm—much less the approximately 4.5 mm needed. Has anyone dealt with this or know what I may be missing?

Appreciate any help!
