￿. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

￿CAUTION

Turn off the power switch before carrying out cleaning, otherwise the machine may operate if the treadle is depressed by mistake, which could result in injury.￿

Be sure to wear protective goggles and gloves when handling the lubricating oil and grease, so that they do not get into your eyes or onto your skin, otherwise inflammation can result.

Furthermore, do not drink the oil or eat the grease under any circumstances, as they can cause vomiting and diarrhoea.￿

Keep the oil out of the reach of children.

* Periodically clean around the bobbin thread trimmer

underneath the needle plate to remove any dust and

machine while dust or thread scraps have built up, it

may cause the work clamp lifter pulse motor to go

out of step.
