CLEANING AND OILING THE SHUTTLE

(See Figs. 47 and 48)

The stitch forming mechanism occasionally becomes clogged with loose threads and lint.

This will interfere with the efficient operation of the machine. Cleaning and removal of

the lint will safeguard the performance. To remove the shuttle assembly, proceed as follows:

1. Turn the balance wheel until the needle reaches its highest position. Tilt head back

on its hinges.

2. Remove bobbin case (A), Fig. 47.
3. Turn the two shuttle race cover clamps (B) outward and remove the shuttle race cover

(C) and shuttle body (D).
