TO OIL SEWING MACHINE In order to operate the machine smoothly, ie is always Fraportant that. all the moving parts of the machine ate oiled in moderation, A Sewing Machine does nat. require grease and one DROP OF Ol. is sufficient at each point. The parts to be oiled ore. illustrated in Fig. 28 and the vital parts such as Oscillating Shaft Front Bearing, Oscil- lating Shafe Beck Bosring, Feed Raguistor, Oscillting rock shaft, Cronk Connecting Rod, Link take up. lever link & hinge pin, Arm shaft bushing Frant and Arm shaFe buchina back are eutomatically oiled by the special device. You can cutometicelly oil the vital parts of your machine by pressing the OILING BUTTON (Fig. 23) a few tim IF you ore using your sewing machine daily, do this once or twice a week. After oiling, rn the machine repidly for 9 few minutes ta let the oil reach every mov- tog part. You may check on through the PLASTIC VIEWER how much eil is being applied by pressing the button. IF no oil is applied by doing so, yeu may find that the cil tonk is empty.Fig. 23 Remove the oil button with the Coin and Fill the tank 2 illustrated in Fig. 24, 25.

TO SEW ELASTIC FABRICS : ‘When sewing such elastic mater low thread tension. IF not, dl TO SEW VERY THIN CLOTH: ‘When sowing vary thin cloth which tonds to wrinkle as you sow, place a chest of nowepazer or any other thin paper underneath the material and sew with the shortest stitch possible, This will keep your work from puckerings BASTING; 1. Ure s heavier lower thresd than the upper one. 2, Lowsr the tension af the upper thread and/or raise the lower threed tension) end employ the longest stitch possible, 3.

CAUSES OF COMMON DIFFICULTIES BREAKING OF THE UPPER THREAD: 1. Incorrect threading, 2, Upper thread tension too tight. 3. Faulty needle or needle set in incorrectly. 4. Needle brushing against presser Foot or other ottachments. 5. Needle too thin For thread used. 6. Starting the machine suddenly or with » jerk 7. Starting the machine with the take up lever at its highest position. BREAKING OF THE LOWER THREAD 1. Incorrect tveeding of the bobbin case, 2, Lewer thread tension too tight, 3. Bobbin being wosnd 400 Fully. 4, Rough-edaed of hole in needle plate coured by jmproper needle action, (Moy be cussed when needle is not inserted correctly.) ; BREAKING OF THE NEEDLE: 1. Pulling the Fabcic while machine is running; thus causing the net 2. Using bent needle. SKIPPING STITCHES : 1. Using bent er blunt need! 3. Neadle threadad impronerly. 4. Using wrong sized needle. 5, Prossure of presser foot insufficient, especially when sewing heavy material. UNEVEN STITCHES: 1. Presser foot not resting evenly on material. 2. Feed dog not being high enough. 3. Stitches uted too shart. 4. Pulling the cloth while the mechine ie sunning. 5. Using too fine © needle with to coarse 0 thread, le to strike the needle plate. 2.
