Consew 206RB - Threading the Needles; Oiling

-2"
DIRECTION OF ROTATION
In operation the handwheel of the machine alv^ays turns toward the operator,
To avoid tangled threads and jamming of the sewing hooh, do not turn hand-
wheel otherwise*
THREADING THE NEEDLES
Prom the thread stand lead the thread from back to front through the lower
guide hole in pin "P" on top of the machine arm, then again from right to
left through the upper guide hole in this pin* Pass thread in weaving
fashion through the three holes in guide "B", and from right to left over
and between the tension disc "C"* Now pull thread downward and from
right to left beneath and around thread controller "D"; continue to pull
thread upward against the pressure of the wire spring into the fork "E"
in the thread controller* Guide upward through thread guide "F" and
from right to left through the eye at the tip of the take-up lever "G",
down through thread guide "F" again and then through "H", "I" and "J"
from left to right through the eye of the needle* (See Fig* 1)*
OILING
Do not operate the machine, even if only for testing, unless it has been
properly oiled at every spot requiring lubrication* The arrows marked "0"
on Figures 2A, 2b, 2C and 2D indicate these spots* Also on the machine
most oil holes are ringed in red*
Oiling must be done at least twice daily when the machine is in con-
tinouse operation to assure free running and durability of the operating
parts*
NOTE: - During the breaking-in period a new machine should be oiled more
frequently*
