10. HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR MACHINE
Brush
Brush and Oil
Your sewing machine is a fine yet sturdy precision in
strument, and it will serve you perfectly for many
years if you take a few simple steps to keep it in good
working condition.
How often you will need to clean, oil, and lubricate
the machine will depend on how often you use it and
where you keep it. The following general guidelines
assume that you will be sewing two or three times a
week. But if you use the machine continuously, clean
and oil it daily. Or, if you keep it in a very warm or
damp place, oil and lubricate it more frequently than
the guidelines suggest.
EVERY WEEK OR SO™
Remove lint or fluff from exposed parts. (As a matter
of fact, you will be able to see the lint and fluff gather
ing on these parts, and we recommend that you re
move them immediately.)
With a soft cloth, clean:
® Tension discs
® Take-up lever and thread guides
© Presser bar and needle bar
® Bobbin case (for instructions on removal, see next
page)
® Machine arm and bed
If necessary, dampen the cloth to clean the machine
surface. Do not use detergents.
With the lint brush that comes with your machine,
clean:
® Feed dog
® Rotating hook (area under throat plate and slide
plate)
After each cleaning, apply a drop (but no more than a
drop) of SINGER"^ Oil to the areas indicated. Then
sew a line of stitching on a scrap of material to re
move excess oil.
