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 irrita-
tion 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 legisla-
tion.
Cleaning and lubricating
Turn off the power switch and disconnect the pow-
er plug
from the wall outlet before starting cleaning
or lubricating the machine.
As you use the sewing machine, lint is likely to accumulate
in the sewing machine. It is necessary to remove the lint pe-
riodically. Since lint accumulates particularly in the sections
around the throat plate and lower knife, remove the lint from
those sections on a periodical basis. (A)
When cleaning the pipes of the upper and lower loopers, use
the “looper threader” supplied in the accessory bag. (Refer to
page 21 for how to use it.)
The sewing machine uses special materials for important
parts. Apply one or two drops of machine oil to the sections
illustrated.
To carry out cleaning with the cloth plate opened
Be sure to turn off the power switch before opening
the cloth plate.
• How to open the cloth plate
Push this side of the cloth plate to the left to open it.
• How to close the cloth plate
Push the cloth plate toward the sewing machine.

Maintenance
Replacing the knife
It is not normally necessary to replace the lower knife since it is made of special ultrahard material. If the
knife blade tip has chipped, replace the knife with a new one.
Contact your distributor for the replacement of the lower and upper knives.
