LUBRICATION AND CLEANING
Use
SINGER* OIL, "TYPE B"
or
"TYPE
D".
Use
"TYPE
D"
OIL
when
an
oil
is
desired
which
will
produce
minimum stain
on
fabrics.
A machine in
continuous
use
should
be
oiled
fre-
quently.
Frequency
is
dependent
upon
the
speed
at
which the machine
is
operated
and
the
type
of
work
being
done.
Basically the machine needs
oiling
at
least
twice
each
working
day.
Before
starting
the machine,
at
the
beginning
of
the
day
and
again
after
the
midday
recess,
apply
a
few
drops
of
oil
at
each
of
the
oiling
points on the machine.
Arrows
indicate
oiling
points in
