LUBRICATION OF MA CHINE 101-2
To Oil
the Machine
To ensure easy running and prevent unnecessary wear of the
parts which are in movable contact, the machine requires
oiling,
FIG. 25.
VIEW, SHOWING
and if used
continuously,
it should be oiled each
day. With mod-
erate use,
an occasional
oiling
is sufficient.
Oil should
be applied
at
each
of the
places shown by arrows in Figs. 25, 26 and
27. One
drop
of oil
at each
point is sufficient, with the exception
of the
oil hole (D4,
Fig. 25)
into which hole about 12 drops
of oil
should
be poured
each
time the machine is oiled. Oil holes are provided
in
the machine
for bearings which cannot be directly reached.
To oil the hook mechanism,
draw to
the left the slide in the
bed of the machine and after re-
moving the lint and dust which
may have accumulated around the
sewing hook, take out the bobbin
and apply a drop of oil to the
oil
hole
and bobbin
case bearing, as
indicated by
arrows in Fig. 26,
then replace

the screw (B4,
Fig. 25) near
the upper
end of the
face plate, then
raise the plate
and slip it off
over the
head of the screw (B4).
Put one drop
of oil into each of the
holes
and joints thus
uncovered
as
shown in
Fig. 27.
To
Lubricate the
Motor
A tube of
Singer Motor
Lubricant is
furnished with the ma-
chine for lubricating
the gears of
the motor.
Occasionally
remove
the felt washer
(E4, Fig. 25)
and unscrew the
spool pin (F4, Fig.
25)
then insert the tip
of this tube
into the spool
pin hole and force
a small quantity
of the lubricant
through the
hole to lubricate
the
gears, then
replace the spool
pin and felt washer.
Under no
circumstances should oil
be
used at this hole,
but only
the lubricant.
1. Whe n the
machine is
shipped from
the factory, the two
motor
grease cups Fig. 11,
page
12) are filled with
sufficient
lubricant
for approximately
one year’s
use, under
ordinary
circumstances.
