To OiI
the Machine
To ensure easy
running and to
prevent
unnecessary wear
of
the
parts
which are in movable
contact,
the machine requires
oiling
and if used
continuously
it
should
be oiled
each day.
With
moder-
ate
use an
occasional
oiling
is
sufficient.
Oil
should
be
applied at
each
of the
places
shown
by arrows
on
the illustration
above
(Fig.
15).
One drop of
oil at each
point
is
sufficient.
Oil
holes
are
provided
in the
machine
for
bearings
which cannot
be
directly
reached.
Take
out the
thumb
screw near the
lower
end of
the f
aee
plate,
raise the
plate
and
slip it off over
the
head
of
the
serew
near the
upper
end of the
plate;
within
the
space
thus
uncovered
the
upper
end
of
the needle
bar
and its
connecting
link, the
presser
bar and
the mechanism
that
operates
the
thread
take-up
can be
seen;
put
one drdp of
oil
into
each
of
the
oil holes
and
joints.
On
the
back of
the
arm
is
a
round
plate
or cover,
fastened
by
a
thumb
screw;
loosen the
screw, turn
the
plate
upward
and
fasten
by
tightening
the
screw; turn
the
balance
wheel slowly
and oil
the
moving
parts
inside
wherever
one
part
touches
another;
then turn the
cover down and fasten
it
as
before.

The bobbin
wincler
spindle
should
be
oiled through
the
two
oil
holes;
also
nil
the
worm which
drives the
cam
wheel
and
the
thread
guide
finger
where
it
bears
against
the cam.
To
lubricate
the
hoo{< mechanism
withdraw
the slide and
after
removing
the
lint ahd
dust
which
may
have
accumulated
around
the
oscillating
hook,
put
a few
drops
of oil
on
the lubri-
eator,
a small
piece
of felt at
the right
of the
bobbin
ejector.
The
slide
should
then
be replaced.
To reach
the
parts
underneath
the bed
plate
the belt
must
be
thrown
off
the
band
wheel
which
drives
the
machine.
For this

purpose
a belt
shifter
is
placed
at
the
front of the band
wheel.
By
pressing
the
belt
shifter lever
to
the
left
and
working
the
treadle
meanwhile,
the belt
is released and
the
head
can
be
turned
back
on
its
hinges.
The
places
to
be
oiled
are
indicated
in Fig.
16 by
arrows
pointing
to
the
oil
holes and
bearings.
After oiling,
the belt
can
be replaced
by operating
the
treadle
with
the band
wheel
turning over
toward
you,
when
a
revolution
or
two
of the wheel
will bring
the
belt back
into
place.
,
To
oil
the stand,
put
a drop
of
oil on
the
centres
upon
which
the
band
wheel and
t,readle work,
and both
ends
of
the
pitman
rod
which eonnects
the
treadle with
the band
wheel.
