Gun Jamming

Feed issues disrupt workflow and need quick resolution:

Common Causes

Incorrect Yarn Path

• Should feed from ABOVE the gun
• Yarn cone/ball positioned too low
• Twisted or tangled feed path

Threading Issues

• Missed a guide or loop
• Yarn caught on rough edges
• Too much tension in feed

Mechanical Problems

• Dirty or lint-clogged mechanism
• Worn feed gears
• Bent guides or springs

Solutions

1. Check yarn position - Always feed from above
2. Re-thread completely - Follow manual exactly
3. Clean mechanism - Remove lint buildup
4. Inspect guides - Look for damage
5. Test different yarn - Some textures feed poorly

Prevention

• Regular cleaning schedule
• Quality yarn without knots
• Proper storage between uses
• Yarn swift or umbrella holder for smooth feed
