triable to be dragged down into the shuttle
path
and
broken
and
it
may
then be
necessary
to clean the shuttle
path
of
pieces
of thread
before sewing can be started
again. Never
keep the
machine running
without
having
material
under
the
presser
foot, once it is
let
down.
\7hen
altering the direction of
sewing,
at a corner,
for
example, let the
needle
remain in the
material,
lift up the
presser foot,
and swing the piece of work round
the needle.
\[hen sewing
is
finished
and
the
material
is to
be
taken
out
of
the machine,
this
should be done
with the needle bar
and take-up lever
in their higheit position.
Move
the
ma-
terial to the left and cut off the thread

The
presser
foot
is
jointed
in
order
that
it
shall be
able to
glide
easily
across
thick
seams
and uneven surfaces.
*When
sewing, the
machine
can
be
used with
or
without
the work table" The
free
arm
facilitates
sewing, as
the gar-
ment
can
be drawn
on to the arm.
Oiling
and
cleaning
the
machine"
In order to ensure ens/: smooth and silent running,
and to
minimise
the
wear,
oiling
must be
carefully attended to
in
all
places
where
there is f
riction
between
moving
parts.
It is
important to
remove
odd ends of thread
and
fluff
that
may have
fastened
under the
feed
motion
and
between
the
teeth. This can
be done most conveniently
with the
brush
supplied
in the
apparatus case. IJnscrew
the throat platc,
therefore, and brush
the
feed
motion
clean.
The shuttle bearing path, Fig"

be
oiled
frr'
quently
but
very sparingly
each
time"
