Oiling The Machine - Singer HA-1 Instruction Manual

OILING THE MACHINE

Fig. 17
Your HA-1 sewing machine never needs grease. All moving parts
which come in contact with others must be covered with a thin
film of oil, and should not be allowed to become dry. Oil, when
necessary, should be applied at the points indicated by the arrows
in Fig. 17, a single drop of oil is usually sufficient if applied in the
right place. Oil all spots of contact on the underside of the ma-
chine. These spots can be identified by rotating the hand wheel
and watching where parts move against one another. The shuttle
race should be kept oiled, and frequently, it is wise to snap open
the clamps that hold the shuttle retainer, and remove the shuttle to
clean the race and apply oil. Once the machine has been oiled, it is
wise to run it to distribute the oil, and sew some stitches on a test
cloth until oil no longer appears on the thread.
Note: Use sewing machine oil only. Multi
purpose oils will often dry leaving a sticky
residue behind.
