OILING
THE
KENMORE ROTARY
A sewing machine, like
every
other
piece
of
ma
c
hinery
needs
oiling
to
insure
easy
running
and
to
prevent
unneces-
sary
wear
of
the
parts
which
bear
upon each other.
If
a machine
is
used continuously
IT
SHOULD
BE
OILED
EVERY
DAY.
With
moderate
use
an
occasional
oiling
is
suf-
ficient.
The
pictures on the previous
page
show
by
arrows
the
points where
oil
should
be
applied
.
ONE
DROP
OF
OIL
at
each
point
is
plenty.
More
than this
will
retard
rather
than
help
the
action
of
the machine.
Oil
holes
are
provided
in
the
arm
of
the machine
for
parts
which
cannot
be
directly
reached
. .
To
oil
the
works underneath the
bedplate
, turn the
head
back
and
apply
oil
to
poinis as shown in Figure 2.
The
head
fastening screw (see Figure
No.
1)
on
the
bed-
plate
near
the base
of
the arm
must
be
taken
out
before
the
head
can
be
t
urned
back
for
oiling.
IF
THE
MACHINE RUNS HARD
it
is
due
to
lack
of
proper
oiling
of
some
bearings
. Should
the
machine become gummed
from
long standing
or
poor
oil
,
apply
kerosene
to
all
the
bearings
to
remove
the
gum; then run the machine
rapidly,
wipe
clean
and
OIL THOROUGHLY WITH
GOOD
SEW-
lNG
MACHINE OIL
before
beginning
to
sew.
Occasionally,
place
one
drop
of
oil
on
tip
of
finger
and
apply
around
outer
rim
of
shuttle, race,
and
centerpin
(CP) Fig. 6.
