Maintenance and cleaning
Maintaining the sewing machine
The sewing machine is a sensitive mechanical product and requires
regular maintenance to ensure it always functions perfectly.
You can carry out this maintenance yourself.
Above all, maintenance means cleaning and oiling.
Use top-quality sewing machine oil only. Other oils are not suitable.
Please note that after oiling, there may be oil residue in the
machine. To get rid of this residue, sew a few stitches on a swatch or
scrap of fabric. This will stop your actual fabric from getting soiled.
Cleaning the housing and foot pedal
Before cleaning, pull the plug out of the mains socket.
Use a dry, soft cloth to clean the housing and foot pedal. Avoid the
use of chemical solutions and cleaning products because these may
damage the machine surface or markings.
Cleaning the feeder
It is necessary to keep the fabric feeder teeth clean at all times to
ensure perfect stitching.
− Remove the needle and presser foot (see Page 41 f.).
− Undo the screws on the needle plate to remove the needle
plate from the machine.
− Use the brush to remove dust and loose threads from the
feeder teeth.
− Refi t the needle plate.
