Maintenance
Oiling
To ensure your Butterfly Embroidery Machine lasts a long and healthy life, it is recommended to
oil the machine when required.
Although it is recommend oiling the
machine, it is highly discouraged to
over oil the machine as the oil can
accumulate over electronics, the
garments, and other parts that are
not designed to be oiled. It is also
not recommend to oil parts not
specified in this guide. Standard
sewing or embroidery machine oil
should be used. It is recommended
to oil the machine after each shift to
give the oil time to settle. When
starting the machine at the next shift
for the first time, it is recommend to
sew a sample run and to sew each
run using solvy. Solvy helps to catch any excess oil from dripping on and staining the garments.
A) – Needle bars – Once every (20) hours of embroidery. Oil each bar through the opening. Do
not place more than one drop per bar per 8 hour shift. There is a felt piece inside that head that
absorbs the oil and lubricates the shafts.
B) – Rotary Hook – Once every (4) hours of
embroidery. It is recommended to oil the hook
once at the beginning of the day and then once
each (4) hours after. The oil point of the hook
(basket that holds the bobbin case) is at the very
top of the hook directly under the needle plate. It
is not necessary to remove the needle plate if the
oiler has a stray. The oil goes between the inner
basket that stays stationary and the outer part that
spins during embroidery. You will see the hook
point at the bottom. Turn the hand ‐ wheel on the
right side of machine to move the hook point to the
10 o'clock position. This will place the top of the raceway at about 9o'clock. Place one drop at top of
race at side of basket. Next, press the stop button. This will cycle the machine to a proper head up
position.
