Notes on the motor
•
The normal operating speed of this sewing machine is 1,000 stitches per minute, which is quite fast compared
to the normal operating speed of 300 to 800 stitches per minute for the ordinary foot-operated sewing machine.
•
The bearings in the motor are made of a special sintered, oil-impregnated alloy mounted in oil-soaked felt to
withstand long hours of continuous operation.
•
Continuous operation of the sewing machine can cause heat to build in the motor area, but not enough to
adversely affect its performance.
It is important to keep fabric and paper away from the ventilating holes on the back and sides of the machine
so air can get to these holes.
•
When the motor is running, sparks can be seen through the ventilating hole in the motor bracket on the side
opposite the hand wheel. These sparks are produced by the carbon brushes and the commutator, and are
part of the machines normal operation.
CAUTION
WHEN THREADING THE MACHINE, REPLACING A NEEDLE, OR WHEN THE MACHINE IS NOT IN
USE, WE RECOMMEND DISCONNECTING THE ELECTRIC SUPPLY PLUG TO AVOID ANY POSSI-
BLE HAZARDS.
