NOTE

Unplug the machine before oiling.

Oil the points as shown (q, w and e) with two or three drops of oil. Use only SINGER® sewing machine oil for this sewing machine.

If the machine is used up to 2-4 hours per day, it should be oiled every 3 days. If the machine is used at least 8 hours per day, the machine must be oiled daily before starting to use the machine.

Use a soft, dry cloth to remove excess oil.

Remove the bobbin case from the hook when you oil the hook area.

After oiling, stitch a piece of scrap fabric to absorb excess oil.
