CLEANING AND OILING
Fig. 1 Cleaning the feed dogs with a brush.
To insure the best possible operation of your
machine, it is necessary to keep the essential
parts clean at all times. Open shuttle access
cover and remove needle plate with large
screw driver. Then using a small brush,
remove the lint that accumulates in the
shuttle area and around the feed dogs.
