Precautions to be taken when handling oil
* In the event the oil gets in the eye or adheres on skin, immediately wash it off in order to prevent irritation and
rash.
* If swallowed accidentally, immediately seek for medical advice in order to prevent diarrhea and vomiting.
* Keep the oil away from children.
* Oil disposal is obliged by legislation. Dispose of the oil properly in compliance with the relevant legislation.

As you use the sewing machine, lint is likely to accumulate in the
sewing machine. It is necessary to remove the lint periodically.
Since lint accumulates particularly in the sections around the throat
plate and lower knife, remove the lint from those sections on a peri-
odical basis. (A)
When cleaning the pipes of the upper and lower loopers, use the
"looper threader" supplied in the accessory bag. (Refer to page 29
for how to use it.)
You may concern about the sewing noise, although not frequently,
since this sewing machine uses special materials in critical sections.
In such a case, apply one or two drops of oil to the points indicated
with an arrow in the figure.
Dust and lint are likely to accumulate around the chain-off thread
cutter. So, remove them regularly with the accessory cleaning brush
supplied with the sewing machine.
How to use an accessory oiler
Be careful not to hurt your hands while

working.
When you use the oiler for the first time, remove the cap and cut the
tip of the oiler spout slightly with a pair of scissors. Then, make a
hole in the tip with a pushpin or the like.
* Be aware that, if you cut the tip of the oiler spout excessively,
the hole will become larger to make it hard to supply a constant
amount of oil.
1. Cut the tip with a pair of scissors.
* It is important to leave the resin-sealed portion (approximately
0.5 mm) instead of cutting the tip until the penetrated portion is
reached.
2. Make a hole with a pushpin or the like.
