To Oil the Machine
To ensure easy running, the machine requires
oiling and if used continuously it should be
oiled each day. With moderate use all occa-
sional oiling is sufficient. Oil should he
applied at each of the places shown by
arrows in Figs. 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.
To oil the mechanism under the slide, draw
the front slide (see Fig. 16) toward you and
after removing the lint and dust which may
have accumulated, put a few drops of oil on
the wick which is retained in the hole in the
bed of the machine. The slide should then be
closed.
On the front of the machine at the left is a
small plate or cover (see Fig. 16) fastened by
a screw; loosen the screw, turn the plate
upward and fasten by tightening the screw;
turn the balance wheel slowly and oil the
movable parts inside, then turn the cover
down and fasten it as before.
