・
Syringe specically for grease application JUKI part No.: GDS01007000
3. Looper threader
Do not lubricate inside the pipe. If the inside of the pipe is contaminated with oil, thread cannot be passed
through it.
In addition, thread cannot be passed through the pipe either after having passed a thread absorbed with sili-
con oil through it.
Should the pipe is lubricated
Remove oil from inside the pipe by passing a thick thread (cotton thread count of which is #20 or
smaller) through the pipe. Or, blow away the oil from inside the pipe with high-pressure air.
If the thread still cannot be passed smoothly through the pipe, other causes such that the mixture of lint
and oil adheres near the pipe joints or thread inlet section should be considered. In such a case, detach
the pipe and clean it up with degreaser or the like.
