Gleaning and Oiling—(Continued)
The
face
plate
should
also
be
removed
to give access to the oiling points on the
needle
bar,
presser
bar
and
thread
take-up.
Apply a drop of oil to each oil hole and joint.
Release
the
belt
from
the
band
wheel
by moving the lever of the belt shifter, Fig.
49, to the left while the machine is running.
To replace the belt, work the treadle slowly
with
the
band
wheel
turning
towards
you.
The belt will then be automatically brought
back into place. Do not throw the belt off
to the left side of the band wheel, as it is
difficult to replace it from that side.

After releasing the
^ A
I belt, turn the head of
Li
I the machine back on
its hinges in order to
reach the oiling points
on its under side. By
turning
the
hand
wheel slowly you will
be able to observe all
working
parts.
It
is
sufficient
to
apply
a
drop of oil only at each
point of contact. After
oiling all points on the
under side, lower the
machine into sewing position and oil each point on top. Wipe away surplus
oil and run the machine rapidly for a few minutes so that the oil may penetrate
to
the
bearings.
The
machine
should
then
be threaded and a few
stitches
made
in
a
waste piece of material
so that any excess oil
may be removed.-
When
a
machine
is
used
and
cleaned
frequently,
it
is
not
necessary
to
remove
the
throat
plate,
slide
and bobbin each time,
but
this
should
be
done
occasionally
in
in
order
to
remove
lint and dust.
