Machine Maintenance
Clean and Oil Your Janome QMP 20
The only place where you need to regularly oil your machine is the bobbin hook assembly. Failure to keep
the hook assembly lubricated can cause severe damage to the machine. We recommend that you oil the
hook assembly with each bobbin change and before use if you haven’t used the machine for a few days.
A change in the sound of the machine while quilng also indicates that it may need to be oiled.
NOTE: Internal oiling needs to be done when the machine is taken to a service technician for
roune maintenance and cleaning, every 24 months or 10 million stches (whichever comes rst).
 IMPORTANT: Only use light sewing machine oil on the hook when oiling your machine.
To clean the bobbin area and oil the bobbin hook
1. Turn o the machine by powering o the front switch. Then remove the bobbin and bobbin case.
2. Clean the bobbin basket area using a lint brush.
3. Put a small drop of oil on the hook in the region
where the bobbin basket assembly and the
rotang hook meet. The oil will work its way
back into the interlocking area of the hook and
bobbin basket.
4. Replace the bobbin and bobbin case and turn on the machine.
QUILTING TIP: Aer oiling, always sew on a scrap piece of fabric o to the side of the quilt as oil
may cling to thread. Over-oiling can cause excess dripping from the bobbin assembly.
