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).
