To Oil the Machine
To ensure easy running, the machine and stand require oiling and if used continuously should
be oiled each day. With moderate use, an occasional oiling is sufficient. Oil should be applied
at each of the places shown by arrows in Figs. 10, 16 and 17. One drop of oil at each point is
sufficient. Oil holes are provided in the machine for bearings which cannot be directly
reached.
FIG. 16. OILING POINTS AT THE FRONT OF THE MACHINE
Draw to the left the slide in the bed of the machine and apply a few drops of oil to the shuttle
race (2, Fig. 10). The slide should then be closed.
Loosen the screw (1, Fig. 16) near the upper end of the face plate, raise the plate and slip it
off over the head of the screw; put one drop of oil into each of the oil holes and joints.
