When in regular use—
The machine should be cleaned periodically
with LINT BRUSH to remove the lint and fluflf
which may have accumulated around the work
ing parts. To remove face plate, turn hand
wheel until take-up lever reaches its highest
point, then remove face plate loosening screw,
raise face plate and carefully pass it toward you
over end of take-up lever. Clean the area
inside. Remove bobbin case and throat plate,
release latch, open Shuttle Race Gate and clean
stitch-forming mechanism.
After each cleaning, oil the machine as in
structed on pages 46 to 48.
If the machine is to be stored for an indefinite
period, brush away all traces of lint and fluff,
then swab all exposed parts with a lint free
brush saturated with SINGER* oil to protect
against rust damage.
The area in head of machine that should be
cleaned and covered with a protective coat of
oil is shown at left.
Also clean stitch-forming mechanism and
