45. Cleaning and oiling the machine
Note:
The machine is equipped with sintered bearings and components and is therefore maintenance free for
the user.
Only the sewing hook should be lubricated once in a while with normal sewing machine oil.
After repair work, the service engineer should oil the machine with BP Energol HLP 46 or HLP 80 and the
sewing hook with normal sewing machine oil.
Sintered bearings and components must not be cleaned with gasoline, petroleum, kerosene, thinners,
trichlorethylene etc.
