PROTECTION AGAINST RUST DAMAGE
Your sewing machine was built to exacting standards of precision and workmanship. Its perform
ance depends on the care and treatment it receives when in use and especially before storing away.
Lint and fluff, if not removed prior to storage will, during humid
periods, absorb and hold moisture, and thus accelerate rust damage
to highly polished thread handling and other exposed parts. The
extent of rust damage would depend upon the length of time the
machine remained in idle storage in an unventilated closet, attic or
basement room.
Sudden drops in temperature will cause moisture to form on parts,
which if not protected by a film of oil, would rust and damage while
in storage.
Proper storage care suggests thorough brush-cleaning to remove all
traces of lint and fluff, followed by swabbing of all the exposed parts
with a lint-free brush, Fig. 75B, saturated with SINGER oil. See
Fig. 75A for the areas that should be cleaned and coated with a
protective coat of oil.
