26. Cleaning and oiling the machine
Note:
The machine is equipped with oil-soaked calotte bearings and is therefore maintenance-free for the user.
Only the sewing hook should be lubricated once in a while with normal sewing machine oil.
After repair work, the mechanic should oil the machine with BP Energol HLP 46 or HLP 80 and the
sewing hook with normal sewing machine oil.
Calotte bearings or parts must not be cleaned with gasoline, petroleum, kerosene, thinners, trichlorethy-
lene etc.
Dirty or clogged calotte bearings or parts may only be cleaned mechanically by brushing them off.
They are then to be oiled with BP Energol HLP 46 or HLP 80.
