Bonjour.
J’ai la même machine mais j’ai un souci avec la cames orange en plastique sous le chariot. Quand je met le bouton de sélection sur KC une cames se met bien dans la position haute alors que la deuxième reste en bas. J’ai ouvert le chariot, nettoyé il est comme neuf. Je n’ai rien vu qui pouvait bloqué. Tout le reste fonctionne très bien sauf la came cite.
Avez eu ce souci ? Si oui pouvez vous m’aider ?
Je suis français et je ne trouve aucune aide.
Merci d’avance.

I'm trying to set up a kh891, and I'm new to machine knitting. I have some cylinders of thread wax. Where do they go on the tension mast? The illustrations in the manual are a bit hazy but the manual states there is a stand for the wax which I can't find. Does the yarn pass through the center of the cylinder?

There should be a little peg between the tension discs and the tension wire where the wax discs sit. The yarn just rubs on the outside.

@@singlentendre that seems to be missing on mine (bought second hand). Thanks for telling me the thread goes outside the wax. I'd assumed it went through the hole in the middle. I going to try and figure out a way to attach the wax somewhere down closer to the yarn cone.

I've seen such a shitty idea in a long time!😀😀😀😀

Do you mean you *haven't* seen such a shitty idea? Which part do you think is so bad? Just using one in the first place?
