II. CARE OF THE MACHINE
Cleaning the Shuttle Race (Fig. 29)
If while sewing, the machine suddenly stops, do not
attempt to turn the balance wheel forcefully, because
probably some lint or a piece of thread has become
clogged in the shuttle race.
In order to remove the cause of the trouble, raise the
needle
bar
to
its
highest
point,
remove
the
upper
thread from the needle and make sure that the drop
feed lever (A, Fig. 61) is set in its left position. Remove
the throat plate and tilt the machine head over on its
back.
Remove the bobbin case and turn the lever (R, Fig. 29)
to the right. The shuttle race will then swing open to
the left.
