To Oil the Machine
To ensure easy running, the machine requires oiling and if used continuously it should be oiled each day. With moderate use all occa- sional oiling is sufficient. Oil should he applied at each of the places shown by arrows in Figs. 16 and 17. One drop of oil at each point is sufficient. Oil holes are provided in the machine for bearings which cannot be directly reached.
To oil the mechanism under the slide, draw the front slide (see Fig. 16) toward you and after removing the lint and dust which may have accumulated, put a few drops of oil on the wick which is retained in the hole in the bed of the machine. The slide should then be closed.
On the front of the machine at the left is a small plate or cover (see Fig. 16) fastened by a screw; loosen the screw, turn the plate upward and fasten by tightening the screw; turn the balance wheel slowly and oil the movable parts inside, then turn the cover down and fasten it as before.
