3-15. Lubrication
CAUTION
Do not connect the power cord until lubrication is complete.
If the foot switch is depressed by mistake, the sewing machine might start operating and injury could result.
Be sure to wear protective goggles and gloves when handling the lubricating oil and grease, so that they do not get into
your eyes or onto your skin. If the oil and grease get into your eyes or onto your skin, inflammation can result.
Furthermore, do not drink or eat the lubricating oil or grease. They may cause diarrhea or vomiting.
Keep the oil out of the reach of children.
The sewing machine should always be lubricated and the oil supply replenished before it is used for the first time, and also after
long periods of non-use.
Use only the lubricating oil <JX Nippon Oil & Energy Corporation Sewing Lube N10; VG10> specified by Brother.
* If this type of lubricating oil is difficult to obtain, the recommended oil to use is <Exxon Mobil Essotex SM10; VG10>.
1. Fill the arm-side oil tank with oil.
2. Fill the bed-side oil tank with oil.
NOTE:
Be sure to fill the machine with oil
when the oil level is down to about
one-third full in the oil sight glass. If the
oil drops below the one-third level,
there is the danger that the machine
may seize during operation.
3. Remove the bobbin case and add 2-3 drops of oil to the sliding parts (1) of the outer rotary hook and inner hook.
4. If using the needle cooler (2), fill it with optional silicon oil (100 mm
2
/s). (Refer to “4-2. Threading the upper thread”.)
