Cleaning the Feed Teeth and Hook Area
⚠ Before cleaning the machine, disconnect the power supply by removing the plug from the
electrical outlet. Turn the hand wheel to raise the needle to its highest position. Raise the presser foot
lifter.

clean. For daily machine use, it is recommended that you clean the machine weekly.
1. Remove the bobbin cover and then the presser foot by pressing down on both sides of the
presser foot. Removing the presser foot will provide better access to the needle plate and bobbin
case area.
2. Turn the handwheel towards you until the needle is at the highest position. (The take-up lever
should be visible over the top of the machine).
3. Remove the 2 screws in the needle plate using the L-screwdriver provided with your machine.
Remove the needle plate.
4. Remove the bobbin from the bobbin case.

from right to left, until it is seated correctly in the hook race.
11. To ensure that the bobbin case is in the correct position, turn the handwheel towards you; the
hook race should turn freely in a counter-clockwise direction.
