The finger fits into a slot in the basket and is set with a guage that is supplied with your starter kit. The spacing is 20 to 22 thousands using the guage... The finger "must" be enguaged in the rotary hook basket or damage may result to the hook or machine.... Sorry , I do not know who the tech is where you live....
