Cleaning the machine
The cleaning cycle required for the machine depends on following factors:
●
Single or several shift operation
●
Amount of dust resulting from the workpiece
It is therefore only possible to stipulate the best possible cleaning instructions for each indivi-
dual case.
For all cleaning work the machine must be disconnected from the mains by
switching off the on/off switch or by disconnecting the mains plug!
Danger of injury if the machine starts accidentally!
To avoid breakdowns, the following cleaning work is recommended for single shift operation:
●
Clean hook compartment and needle area several times a day.
●
Clean the entire machine at least once a day.
