MAINTENANCE

Simple sewing machine maintenance operations are described below.

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 bobbin case

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

CAUTION

●Make sure you unplug the machine before you clean it. Otherwise, you may get an electric shock or be injured.
