Care and Maintenance

Simple sewing machine maintenance operations are described below.

Cleaning the machine surface

If the surface of the machine is dirty, lightly soak a
cloth in neutral detergent, squeeze it out firmly, and
then wipe the surface of the machine. After cleaning
it once with a damp cloth, wipe it again with a dry
cloth.
CAUTION
● Unplug the power supply cord before
cleaning the machine. Otherwise, injuries
or an electric shock may occur.

Cleaning the race

Sewing performance will suffer if dust collects in the
bobbin case. Therefore, it should be cleaned
periodically.

supply jack on the right side of the sewing
machine.
CAUTION
● Unplug the power supply cord before
