ONCE A WEEK:
1. Remove the needle plate located on top of the sewing arm.
Once removed, clean around the trimmer knives with a soft
brush, air compressor with a moisture lter or approved
canned compressed gas product, such as Dust Off. See
Figure 99.
2. Clean the lint from the slit on the bobbin case with the corner
of a business card, or remove it with the bobbin thread itself
like dental oss. Resist the temptation to blow the lint off the
case—this deposits damaging saliva on your bobbin case.
See Figure 100.

ONCE EVERY TWO WEEKS:
1. Apply two to three drops of sewing machine oil to the two
openings on the front and back of the sewing arm. See Figure
102.
2. Remove the metal cover on each of the machine’s heads and
apply one to two drops of sewing machine oil on the lower
needle bar of each needle. Note: The foam pads located
behind the metal cover on the lower needle bars should soak
up the oil. See Figure 103.

ONCE A YEAR:
1. Apply white lithium grease to the bearings (metal rollers) on
the back of the head. Move the machine’s head from needle

the metal rollers. See Figure 103.
