New AK cut and loop - Tufting Gun

A solid machine with duo functionality. And it comes with 3 loop heads set to different pileheights, making it super easy to change.

This AK Tufting machine is a cut and loop tufting gun. Cut pile involves the gun cutting the yarn as it is pushed through the cloth so that it has a longer, more textured finish. Loop pile carpet is not cut between stitched and typically has a more condensed/ flat appearance. In this gun you will find both so you won't need to choose between a cut and loop pile tufting gun that will suit your expected course of action.

HOW TO USE?

Daily Maintenance:

Switching from cut to loop:

To change from cut to loop you need to replace the scissor with one of the loop heads. 2 loop heads are included, for smaller and bigger loops.

To switch them:
● Unplug your machine
● Release the upper arm from the sliding part.
● Move the upper sliding part to the front
● Unscrew the scissor opener and move it out of the way
● Rotate the white wheel to the position where the scissor is all the way at the front.
● You can now access the screw of the scissors. Unscrew them, take them out with a set of pliers and put the
loophead where the scissor was.
● Now move back the scissor opener, somewhere at the back of the reel (it has no function for the loop setting).
● Reattach the arm, with the yarn guide inbetween.
