To prevent friction and wear, oil your machine regularly. If you use
the machine all day every day, oil it weekly. If it is used moderate!y,
oil it every two months. If the machine is not used for some time, oil
it the day before you start to sew to be sure you don't soil fabrics.
Always remove dust and lint before oiling. Just a drop or two of oil
at each point is sufficient. Remove any excess oil from thread-
handling parts with a lintless fabric, like cheesec!oth.
