The invention relates to a method for operating a work station (2) of a cheese-producing textile machine (1), wherein the working point (2) with a winding device (4) for winding a cross-wound bobbin (5) and a single motor-driven suction nozzle (24) is equipped, adapted to receive an after Spulunterbrechung onto the surface (35) of the cross-wound bobbin (5) accumulated yarn (16) in a Fadenendaufnahmestellung (II) is positioned in the mouth of the suction nozzle (24) a predetermined distance (a) to the surface ( 35) of the cross-wound bobbin (5). ; The invention is characterized in that a calibration of the pivot path (21) of the suction nozzle (24) takes place by that after a Spulunterbrechung initially performed a thread connecting circuit, set the thread (16) in a thread tensioner (30) and by means of applied in winding direction cheese (5 ) is tensioned, that then the suction nozzle (24) by means of its individual drive (15) from the through a zero position sensor (44) predetermined initial position (I) is pivoted to a control position (III), in which the suction head of the suction nozzle (24) taut thread (16) contacted and installation of the suction head is detected at the taut thread (16) by means of a yarn tension sensor (29) that the number of increments (45) is determined during rotation of the suction nozzle (24) that are run when the suction nozzle (24); pivots from the initial position sensor-detected (I) in the control position (III), that the determined number of increments (45) is compared with a current as a guide number of previously determined in the same manner increments (45) and that on the basis of this comparison creates a correction value is the place for the subsequent positioning of the suction nozzle (24) in the Fadenendaufnahmestellung (II) into account.
