Read Pleaters 24-Row Regular Instruction Booklet

CARING FOR A PLEATER
Your pleater is almost maintenance free. Every 2 or 3 years place a drop of oil between the
rollers and the side-plates. Before re-using it, pass an old piece of fabric through the pleater
to remove any excess oil.
After pleating, remove any loose threads or lint. Use a soft brush to clean the rollers. When
the machine is not in use, keep it inside the original box or cover it to stop dust from
accumulating on the pleater.
It should not be necessary at any time to dismantle the pleater completely. However, if this
should become necessary, it must be noted that the roller with the dimples in the ends, is the
bottom rear roller and must be fitted back into this position.
The needles are the most fragile part of the machine. Never leave the needles in the pleater.
If you live close to the sea or in a humid area, keep the needles in a moist free container.
Excess moisture can rust the needles. From time to time check the state of the needles. If the
point of one needle is different to the rest discard it. Check for bluntness by running the tip
of the needle over the tip of your finger.
