To Oil the Machine and Stand

If the machine is used continuously, it should be oiled daily. If moderately used, an occasional oiling is sufficient. Apply one drop of oil at teach of the places indicated by the unlettered arrows in Figs. 9, 10 and 12 and carefully clean the machine to insure smooth and satisfactory performance. Oil holes are provided in the machine for bearings which cannot be directly reached.

Remove face plate D, Fig. 9 by taking out screw C and loosening screw E near the top of the place. Slip plate over screw E. Oil the points indicated in Fig 10 and then replace face plate D.

Draw the slide to the left (as shown in Fig. 9) and, after removing the lint and dust which may have accumulated (see instructions on page 24), apply a drop of oil at the place indicated at F, Fig. 11. The slide should then be closed.
