When using a sewing machine for the first time
A sewing machine is shipped with the oil drained.
Before using a sewing machine for the first time,
charge with oil. To add oil, remove the rubber seal
plug ① labeled "OIL" and add oil up to the top line
on the oil gauge ②.
Checking point
After starting the sewing machine, check oil is
coming from the nozzle when looking from the oil
sight window ③. If oil is not coming out, check and
replace the oil filter (see page 15).
CAUTION
If very little oil is sprayed out from the nozzle despite
a sufficient charge of oil or if there are many bubbles
in the oil, check and replace the oil filter.
