Maintenance and trouble-shooting
Changing the needle plate
Switch off the main switch
It is very important to clean and oil
your sewing machine, because it will
rewardyou with a longer service life. The
more often you use the machine, the
more care it needs.
Removal:
• Raise the sewing foot and remove the
removable accessory tray.
• Push the point of a small screwdriver
into the opening between needle plate
and sewing machine. Twist it lightly to
the right and the needle plate will snap
half way out of its mounting. Now push
the screwdriver into the left opening
and take the needle plate out.
Replacing:
• Place the needle plate on fl at at the
back and push it down with both hands
at the front until you hear it snap in
place. Before you start sewing, check
that the needle plate is lying fl at.
Cleaning and oiling
Switch off the main switch
• Remove the needle plate and lower
the feed dog.
• Clean the feed dog and hook area with
the brush.
• Apply a drop of oil (every 15 to 20
hours of operation) to the hook. You
can see where to apply the oil in the
illustration and on the provided oil
bottle.
Otherwise, the machine is maintenance
free and must not be oiled.
