Cleaning
and
Oiling
Careful cleaning and regular oiling
increase
the service life of the machine and
ensure
smooth
running.
When
the
machine
is
delivered,
all
polished
parts
are
covered
with a
rust-preventative
lubricant.
Remove
this
grease,
together
with
the
dust
which
has
accumulated
in
transit,
before
you put
the
machine
In
operation.
Also,
squirt
an
ample
amount
of oil into all
marked oiling points, unthread the needle, take out the bobbin
case,
and run the ma
chine
to
work
the
oil
into
all
the
bearings.
All important oiling points
are
marked by arrows in Figs.
3-6
and, wherever feasible,
with
red
paint
on
the
machine.
To reach the oiling points in the cylinder arm and the machine base, remove the belt
guard, loosen wing nut D (Fig. 3), swing away catch E, tilt the machine over to the left,
and
rest
it
on
the
wooden
peg.
When
the
machine
is in
operation
constantly, form
the
habit of removing,
several
times
a day,
the
lint which
has
accumulated
In
the
vicinity of
the
shuttle
and
putting a
drop
of
oil into
the
shuttle
race.
Run
the
machine
with a
scrap
of
material
under
the
work
clamp
to
absorb
excess
oil.
