NK01 / NK02 Tufting Gun - The gear is not moving smoothly or at all - Tuftinglove.com 

Did you find a fix? Or buy another one

did you ever find a solution? I'm stuck with the same problem.

The screws on the side of the housing? Hmm, that's weird. Maybe something get's pushed together accidentally that should not? You can also send me a video and pictures to help@tuftinglove.com. So I can '' have a look''

Hey, Sounds like you pit the scissorsclosing block too much to the back. Try loosening it and move it a bit forward. the scissors should really just close when they‘re at their outmost point. If the block is too much back. they close too early but the gear still wants to push them forward what makes it moving very hard.

It seems like a have a quite similar problem : I still have the problem, that the top bar does not stop at the same position every time it stops. Sometimes a little left to the Center, sometime a little right to the Center. In your Video it looks like the top bar always stops at the vary same position. Due to this problem the cotton cloth is cut every now and then. :( could you solve your problem?

Did you check all the points of the tutorial? Do You have an AK-I or an AK-II?

Hi, can You fix? I have same problem

Same

Hey Jasmin, have you loosen the scissors closing block fully and then it will still not turn?

@@Tuftinglove I've managed to get the block to go round but still now can't work out why the yarn is not cutting. Tried it with the block at every level!

Hey Jasmine, Did you also check this tutorial? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U8tX69KTkRA.html If that still does not work don't hesitate to send me an email with some videos explaining and showing it to help@tuftinglove.com and I check there.

get tweesers, a tiny scissors, turn on netflix and be very patient untangeling :)

Oh this happened to me too. Be patient with tiny scissors and tweezers... until everything is out. Good luck!

Hey Bash, sorry for the late answer. Most likely the gears are not aligned properly. You can do so by losening the screw on top of the switch. Then you should be able to move the small black gear with the motor (these are connected directly. So you need to find the right angle, to make sure the white and the black gear always touch but there is no force between the two. Don't hesitate to send me an email to help@tuftinglove.com If you have problems solving it. We will upload a video for this problem within the next days.

@@Tuftinglove could you maybe upload that video soon? My cut pile is doing the same thing, the black gear and white gear are not consistently touching causing the white gear not to move. I’ve never made any adjustments to it

My gun is having the same trouble and I never did any adjustments to it :(

Hey the two of you, high pitched noise usually means the motor can't move because there is something stuck. Are you able to turn the big white gear by hand when the machine is unplugged?

@@Tuftinglove No I wasn't able to. However I took some screws off and was able to push the big white gear at a 45 degree angle (away from the silver gear that turns it) and was able to move the white gear. Seems like the silver gear is stuck. I checked and there's no loose yarn anywhere :(

Hey David, hmmm can you maybe make a video of the situation and send it to help@tuftinglove.com. Kind a hard to tell from here.

Make sure you can rotate it easily by hand. If that's not the case make the adjustements to do so. Also make sure there are no yarn scraps within the moving parts, it's cleaned and well oiled

what do you need help with?

Hey, sounds like your cable is having a loose connection and it's only connecting the wires properly in a certain angle. Unplug it, check all the cable from the powerplug to the machine, might be there are cut somewhere and open the handle to see if the cableing inside the machine is correct. there has to be something loose, irregular somewhere

@@Tuftinglove thanks for the quick reply! I haven’t found any info on this issue. I will check the wires hopefully a simple fix. thanks again

Hey Jo, you can use any basic ruler or measuring tape that you have. It doesn't need to be this one. I just like it because it is small and handy :)

@@Tuftinglove can u please help me ???

@@Tuftinglove the part that presses against the fabric came out and won’t stay in

@@joszana1999hudson The Pusher underneath the scissors you mean? It's fixed with the little front black screw on the lower white moving block. In case you cant tighten it, check out our Scissors changing tutorial. The counterpart of the screw is placed underneath the scissors. So in order to be able to fix it again you have to take out the scissors. You can find it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4xTfyNnSJxU.html

@@Tuftinglove okay yes the pusher under the scissors ! and okay thank u
