7. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
7-1.Cleaning the rotary hook
●
Turn off the power switch before starting any cleaning work, otherwise the machine may operate
if the start switch is depressed by mistake, which could result in injury.
●
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, otherwise inflammation can result.
Furthermore, do not drink the oil or eat the grease under any circumstances, as they can cause
vomiting and diarrhoea. Keep the oil out of the reach of children.
