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) Check the oil amount (oil splashes) three times
(with three sheets of paper).
