Your Baby Lock will operate at best performance if it is kept clean at all times.
Your Baby Lock's major moving parts are well protected and do not need to be oiled.
However, we recommend to use the cleaning brush often during garment construction in order to
keep lint off, the needle bar, the feed dog mechanism and looper. If machine needs to be oiled,
check with your nearest Baby Lock retailer for use of high grade recommended sewing machine
oil.
