Cleaning the Shuttle Hook
If lint and bits of thread accumulate in the hook, this will interfere with the smooth operation of
the machine. Check and clean regularly. We recommend using the cleaning brush often in order
to keep lint off the needle bar, the feed dog mechanism and foot.
The major moving parts of your Baby Lock machine are well protected and will only require a
small amount of good quality sewing machine oil as outlined in the steps below.
1. Remove the bobbin case from the shuttle race pin
and push the shuttle race clasps toward the outside
edges of the shuttle race ring. (Fig. A)
2. Remove the shuttle race ring and shuttle hook.
(Fig. B)
3. Using the lint brush thoroughly clean around the
inside of the shuttle driver and especially the
grooved area of driver. (Fig. C)
Place a few drops of a good quality sewing machine
oil on the tip of a cotton swab and gently wipe
around the inside of the shuttle driver being careful
not to catch cotton fibers on the driver. It may be
necessary to turn handwheel counterclockwise in
order to reach all areas. Remove any caught cotton
fibers with tweezers.
NOTE: Frequency of oiling will depend on machine
usage along with the types of fabrics used. Fabrics
producing a large amount of lint will absorb oil quick-
ly. An easy way to remember would be to clean and
oil machine before using.
4. Replace shuttle hook, then the shuttle race ring, and
last push the shuttle race clasps toward the inside of
the shuttle race until they click back into place.
