22.2.2 Adjusting the hook lubrication
Fig. 99: Adjusting the hook lubrication
The approved oil quantity for hook lubrication is a factory specification. 
Hold a piece of blotting paper (2) next to the hook (1) while sewing.
Proper setting
After sewing a stretch of approx. 1 m, the blotting paper (2) will have been 
sprayed with a thin and even film of oil.
To adjust the hook lubrication:
1. Open the throat plate slides ( p. 18).
2. Turn the screw (3):
• Release more oil: turn counterclockwise 
• Release less oil: turn clockwise
Important
The released amount of oil does not change until the operating time 
has run a few minutes. Sew for several minutes before you check the 
setting again.
