c)Clean the casing
Danger!:
Never open any parts of the machine cas- ing other than those described in this manual. There are no operating elements inside. Otherwise there is a risk of injury and potentially
•Clean all the plastic surfaces with a soft dry cloth.
•Do not use cleaning agents or abrasive materials, which can scratch the cas- ing.
•Do not, in any circumstances, immerse any machine components in water or other fluids! This can dam- age the components
d)Oil the gripper track
Important!
Apply the oil very sparingly. Excessive oil on the working parts can soil the thread, and your fabrics.
Allow 2 or 3 drops of oil to drip into the narrow slit between the gripper and the gripper track.
Then give the gripper several complete turns by hand. This will distribute the oil.
Just a little oil applied in this way, once or twice per year, is sufficient. The main pur- pose is to prevent rust from forming, if the machine is left unused for long periods.
e)What else needs oiling?
Nothing - no other working parts require lubrication. You should not lubricate anything unless it is necessary, as oiled parts attract dust and may then become stuck.
f)Storing
Keep the sewing machine ...
-in a dry place, to protect the metal components from rust,
-inside the wrapping supplied, to pre- vent dust from penetrating into the sewing machine,
-out of the reach of young children or elderly persons, so that they are not exposed to risk if handling the machine unsupervised.
