Machine maintenance
An overlock requires more frequent maintenance than a
conventional machine for two reasons:
- A lot of lint is produced when the cutters are cutting the the
fabric.
- An overlock runs at a very high speed and needs to be oiled
frequently to lubricate the internal working parts.
Cleaning
Turn off the main power switch and unplug the machine.
Open the front cover and remove all the lint using the lint brush
from the accessory case.
Oiling
Turn off the main power switch and unplug the machine.
To keep the machine running smoothly and quietly the moving
parts, pointed out in the picture, must be lubricated often.
Use sewing machine oil. Do not use any other oil, it could
damage the machine.
Wipe the machine surface to remove all excess oil before
sewing.
