To Oil the Machine.
Be sure that every part is dean before you cominence to sew. ¡/ ¡hi
machine runs hard at any time,
it is секта in
that some piare has not been oiled.
Oil holes will be found ftir all bearings whidi cannot be reached without
them. Each place reipiiring oil is indicated by an arrow head in the
cuts on the opposite page. The shuttle should be oiled sparingly, but
often, if the machine is in constant use; always be careful to use no
more oil than is needed, a single drop bdng sufficient at any point, If
the machine runs hard after standing idle for some time, use a little kero­
sene oil or henainc on the wearing points, run rapidly,
ivipe dean, and
then oil with the
best
.\perm oil, which should always be used. To make
sure of gettiHg good oil, buy it at at any of the Company’s offices or from
its auihori/ed representatives. The genuine oil is f>ut up in bottles which
have 'I'he Singer Manufacturing Company’s "trade-mark" blown in their
panel, and bear the Company's label
The Stop Motion.
The object of the slop motion is to enable the operator to wind a
bobbin by running the balance-wheel without running the macliine, which
not only saves labor but permits the re-winding of a bobbin w hen a seam
is partially sewed, without removing the goods from tlic machine or
interfering with tlic upper or needle thread.
■ ’'Го operate the stop-motion turn the friction-screw outside of the
balance-wffieel over towards you to release the balancc-wh^l, and in the
opposite direction to clamp it.
To Operate the Treadle and Machine.
Release the balance-wheel as explained, (see ‘ ‘ slop motion ”) place
your feet upon the treadle with the instep directly over its center, turn the
balance-wheel over towards you with the right hand and continue with
the feet (giving an alternate pressure with the heel and toe) the motion
thus
commenced until a regular motion is obtained. Next clamp the
balance-wheel to the machine, (see “stop motion’’) see that the presser­
foot does not rest on the feeding surface, and operate the treadle as before.
