5, 6, 8, 10 Stitch Sewing Machine

Lubricating the machine

How often you need to lubricate the machine depends on how often you use it and where you keep it. The following general guidelines assume that you will be sewing several times a week. But it you use your machine more frequently, lubricate it more often than the guidelines suggest.

Approximately once a year, lubricate all moving connections as shown, to ensure freedom of movement and to protect metal parts from excessive wear.

To determine which connectors move and need lubrication, turn the handwheel slowly, by hand, while face plate is removed.

When lubricating, apply only SINGER* oil at the points shown. SlNGER*oil is specially prepared and does not contain harmful deposits that can interfere with the smooth action of precision parts.
