Maintenance

Simple sewing machine maintenance operations are described below.

CONTENTS

Cleaning the machine surface

If the surface of the machine is dirty, lightly soak a cloth in neutral detergent, squeeze it out firmly, and then wipe the surface of the machine. After cleaning it once with a wet cloth, wipe it again with a dry cloth.

CAUTION

●Unplug the power supply cord before cleaning the machine, otherwise injuries or an electric shock may occur.

Cleaning the shuttle

Sewing performance will suffer if dust collects in the shuttle; therefore, it should be cleaned periodically.

1Turn off the sewing machine.

CAUTION

●Unplug the power supply cord before cleaning the machine, otherwise injuries or an electric shock may occur.

2Grasp both sides of the needle plate cover, and then slide it toward you.
