1) The amount of oil shown in the samples on the left
should be nely adjusted in accordance with sewing
processes.
Be careful not to excessively increase/decrease the
amount of oil in the hook. (If the amount of oil is too
small, the hook will be seized (the hook will be hot).
If the amount of oil is too much, the sewing product
may be stained with oil.)
2) Adjust the amount of oil in the hook so that the
oil amount (oil splashes) should not change while
checking the oil amount three times (on the three
sheets of paper).

1) Turning the oil amount adjustment screw attached
on the hook driving shaft front bushing in the “+”
direction (in direction A) will increase the amount of
oil (oil spots) in the hook, or in the “–” direction (in
direction B) will decrease it.
2) After the amount of oil in the hook has been prop-
erly adjusted with the oil amount adjustment screw,
make the sewing machine run idle for approximate-

2) Place the amount of oil (oil spots) conrmation
paper under the hook immediately after the ma-
chine stops running.
