Taking Care of the Machine – 41
CHANGING THE LIGHT BULBS
Your sewing machine is equipped with two light bulbs. One
is placed under the sewing head and one above the free arm.
Only use light bulbs of a type as indicated on the front of
the machine (24V, 5W). They are available at your authorized
HUSQVARNA VIKING® dealer. Change the light bulbs as
described below.
Press the ON/OFF switch to OFF.
Place the light bulb remover with the deep hole, marked OUT,
around the bulb. Do not turn the bulb, just pull it out to
remove it.
When inserting a new light bulb place the remover with the
shallow hole, marked IN, around the new bulb. Insert the new
bulb by pushing it up.
CLEANING THE MACHINE
To keep your sewing machine operating well, clean it often.
No lubrication (oiling) is needed.
Wipe the exterior surfaces of your sewing machine with a
soft cloth to remove any dust or lint built up.
Press the ON/OFF switch to OFF.
Clean the Bobbin Area
Remove the presser foot and slide off the bobbin cover.
Lower the feed teeth. Place the screwdriver under the
stitchplate as shown on the picture and gently turn the
screwdriver to pop off the stitch plate. Clean the feed teeth
with the brush.
Cleaning Under the Bobbin Area
After sewing several projects or any time you notice an
accumulation of lint in the bobbin case area, the area under
the bobbin case must be cleaned.
Remove the bobbin case holder (1) covering the front part
of the bobbin case. Remove the bobbin case (2) by lifting
it up. Clean with the brush. A small vacuum attachment
works well to remove dust and lint built up.
Put the bobbin case and the bobbin case holder back in
place.
Note: Do not blow air into the bobbin case area. The dust and lint
will be blown into your machine.
Replacing the Stitch Plate
With feed teeth lowered, place the stitch plate so that it fi ts
into the notch at the back. Press the stitch plate down until
it clicks into place. Slide on bobbin cover.
