2) Place the amount of oil (oil splashes) conrmation paper under the hook while the sewing machine is in
operation.
3) Conrm that oil exists in the oil tank.
4) Conrmation of the amount of oil should be completed in ve seconds. (Check the period of time with a

• DDL-8000A-PMS : 0.5 to 1 mm
• DDL-8000A-PSH : 1 to 3 mm
• DDL-8000A-PMS : 1 to 1.5 mm
• DDL-8000A-PSH : 2 to 4 mm
Splashes of oil from the hook
1) The state given in the gure above shows the appropriate amount of oil (oil splashes). It is necessary to
nely adjust the amount of oil in accordance with the sewing processes. However, do not excessively in-
crease/decrease the amount of oil in the hook. (If the amount of oil is too small, the hook will be seized (the
hook will be hot). If the amount of oil is too much, the sewing product may be stained with oil.)
2) Check the oil amount (oil splashes) three times (on the three sheets of paper), and adjust so that it should
not change.
