If the thread is initially longer than the cutting circle speci-
fied, it is automatically shortened to the correct length by
the thread cutter (12c).

Check the nylon thread regularly for damage and whether
the cutting thread is still the length specified by the thread
cutter.
If no thread end is visible:
1. Replace the thread coil (22) as described in 12.2.2.
