Oiling the Machine
To insure easy running of the machine and to prevent
premature wear of parts that are in contact with each
other, the places indicated by arrows in Figs. 30 to 33
require
oiling,
and
if
used
continuously,
should
be
oiled daily. When used only moderately, an occasional
oiling is sufficient. One drop of oil at each' oiling
point is sufficient.
Oil holes are provided for those parts of the machine
which are not easily accessible. In order to reach the
oiling points behind the face plate (Fig. 31), it is
necessary
to
remove
the
face
plate
(see
No.
11,
Fig.
10).
After
loosening
the
face
plate
set
screw
(No. 12, Fig. 10), the face plate easily lifts up and off
the machine.
It is very important to remove
the cover plate on the side of
the machine arm and to oil the
friction
points
revealed
behind
this plate, as shown by arrows
in Fig. 32.
