25. MACHINE MAINTENANCE
* An overlock requires more maintenance than a
conventional machine mainly due to two reasons.
1) A lot of lint is produced due to the cutting
action of the knives.
2) An overlock runs at a very high speed and
needs to be oiled frequently to lubricate the
internal working parts.
• CLEANING THE MACHINE
Danger: Before cleaning your machine, disconnect
power line plug from the wall receptacle.
* Clean the lint from the looper and knife area often
with a dry lint brush.
• OILING THE MACHINE
Danger: Before lubricating your machine, disconnect
power line plug from the wall receptacle.
The oiling points shown in the diagram, should be
oiled periodically.
Note: Use sewing machine oil. Do not use any other
oil or damage could result.
