Cleaning and lubrication
The best way to remove lint from the machine is with
compressed air. Blow all the lint from the machine. Remove all
lint from the gears and again from the bobbin area and feed
dogs.
When oiling your machine, make sure you use a good quality
oiler and clear sewing machine oil.
This type of oiler is good because it has an extendable
spout and only lets out small drops of oil. A drop of oil is the
amount of oil left on the tip of a needle if you dipped it in oil.
Once the covers are removed use compressed air to clean the
machine. Check for thread and lint in the needle bar area. Also
pay close attention to the hook area. Care of the hook area is
covered on the next page. Check the hook for burrs. Polish any
with fine sand paper. Be careful as the hook must be smooth on
all surfaces.
Oil all moving parts in the machine making sure to remove all
excess oil with a soft cloth.
