SINGER W1514 - Manual (Page 16)

PREPARING TO SEW
Have take-up lever at higiiest point before starting to sew. Aft^r threading, NEVER run
machine without material between presser foot and feed.
Place material and threads in position under presser foot and low^ the presser foot. Turn
the hand wheel toward you until the needle is at its highest poinf. You are now ready to
begin sewing.
The speed of the machine is regulated by increasing or decreasing the amount of pressure
exerted on the control.
REMOVING THE WORK
Be sure to stop the machine when the thread take-up lever and needle bar are located at
the highest position. Now raise the presser foot and draw the fabric back and to the left,
and pass the threads over the thread cutter. Pull down slightly, holding thread in both
hands, so as not to bend the needle. Leave the ends of thread under the presser foot.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF YOUR MACHINE
HOW TO OIL YOUR MACHINE
Your machine should be oiled occasionally to keep it operating smoothly—how often de­
pends on the amount of sewing you do.
Oil the upper part of the sewing unit at points indicated by anlows in Fig. 18. Avoid
overoiling—only a drop is needed at each point.
