Singer 20U - Caring for Your Machine

CARING FOR YOUR MACHINE
Your SINGER machine will serve you perfectly for many
years if you take a few moments of your time to keep it
clean. How often you will need to clean and lubricate the
machine will depend on how often you will use it. When
in regular use, the machine should be cleaned periodically
to remove lint and fluff which may have accumulated around
the working parts. A machine in continuous use should be
oiled frequently, especially when the machine is operated at
maximum recommended speed.
With a soft cloth, clean:
Thread retainer A
Take-up lever B and thread guard C
Tension discs D
Needle bar E and presser bar F
Machine arm and bed G (If necessary, dampen the cloth
and use mild soap to clean machine surface).
With a lint brush, clean:
Feed dog H
Rotating hook and area under throat plate.
Turn hand wheel over toward you until oil hole in rotating
hook appears in sight. Apply one or two drops of oil to the
oil hole.
