CLEANING AND OILING THE SHUTTLE

The stitch forming mechanism occasionally becomes clogged with loose threads and lint. This will interfere with

the efficient operation of the machine. Cleaning should be done with a small brush, never with a sharp or pointed tool.

To remove the stitch forming mechanism, proceed as follows;

1. Turn hand wheel until the needle reaches its highest position. The mechanism will assume the position illustrated

in {Fig. 63). Tilt head back on its hinges.

2. Remove bobbin case “E".

„

3. Turn the two shuttle race cover clamps "C" outward and remove the shuttle race cover B and shuttle A .

4. Clean the shuttle race, shuttle and shuttle race cover by removing all threads, lint, etc.

5. Apply a drop of oil with finger tip to outer edge of shuttle.
