One of the most important parts of maintaining your machine is proper cleaning and oiling. Below are tips to follow, but more
complete instructions for your specific model can be found in your machine's manual.
It is recommended that you clean and oil every other bobbin, or every 8 hours of actual sewing time. If you notice your
machine sounding louder than usual, then it is time to clean and oil.
Cleaning the screen and the machine
• Wipe with a damp cloth.
Cleaning the feed dog area
Clean the machine after every use; remove any lint from under the stitch
plate and in the hook area.
• Turn the power switch to «0» (off) and unplug the machine.
• Remove the presser foot and needle.
• Press the stitch plate down at the back right corner, lift and remove.
• Clean the area with the lint brush.
• Replace the stitch plate.
Cleaning the hook
• Turn the off power switch and unplug the machine.
• Remove the bobbin case.
• Push down the locking lever and the black hook race cover.
• Remove the hook.
• Clean the hook race with a cloth or brush; never use a sharp
instrument.
• Replace the hook, turning the handwheel if necessary until the hook
driver is on the left.
• Close the hook race cover and secure with the locking lever. The lock-
ing pin must engage.
• Check by turning the handwheel.
• Insert the bobbin case.
Oiling the machine
• Turn off the power switch and unplug the machine.
• Squeeze 1 or 2 drops of oil into the hook race as shown in the picture
to the right.
• Run the machine for a short time without thread to prevent oil from
soiling your work.
