22. MACHINE MAINTENANCE
An overlock machine requires more maintenance than
a conventional machine for two reasons:
1) A lot of lint is produced due to the cutting action of
the knives.
2) An overlock runs at a very high speed and needs to
be oiled frequently to lubricate the internal working
parts.
(1) Cleaning the machine
* Clean the lint from the looper and knife area often
with a dry lint brush.
Before cleaning your machine, disconnect
power line plug from the wall receptacle.
