c)
Clean the casing
Danger!:
Never open any parts of the machine cas-
ing other than those described in this
manual. There are no operating elements
inside. Otherwise there is a risk of
injury
and potentially life-threatening acci-
dents
.
• Clean all the plastic surfaces with a soft
dry cloth.
• Do not use cleaning agents or abrasive
materials, which can scratch the cas-
ing.
• Do not, in any circumstances,
immerse any machine components
in water or other fluids!
This can dam-
age the components
d)
Oil the gripper track
Important!
Apply the oil very sparingly. Excessive oil
on the working parts can soil the thread,
and your fabrics.
Allow 2 or 3 drops of oil to drip into the
narrow slit
between the gripper and
the gripper track.
Then give the
gripper
several complete
turns by hand. This will distribute the
oil.
Just a little oil applied in this way, once or
twice per year, is sufficient. The main pur-
pose is to prevent rust from forming, if the
machine is left unused for long periods.
e)
What else needs oiling?
Nothing - no other working parts require
lubrication. You should not lubricate
anything unless it is necessary, as oiled
parts attract dust and may then become
stuck.
f)
Storing
Keep the sewing machine ...
- in a
dry place
, to protect the metal
components from rust,
- inside the
wrapping
supplied
,
to pre-
vent dust from penetrating into the
sewing machine,
- out of the reach of
young children
or
elderly persons, so that they are not
exposed to risk if handling the
machine unsupervised.
