Maintenance
NOTE:
Turn off the machine and remove the power cord when performing maintenance on
the machine.
Cleaning and Lubricating the Machine
Only use light sewing machine oil in the Regent. Internal oiling is not necessary on the Regent except
when the machine is taken to a service technician for routine maintenance and cleaning. The hook
assembly, however, needs regular lubricating. Failure to keep the hook assembly lubricated can cause
severe damage to the machine.
To lubricate, turn off the machine. Remove the
bobbin and case before oiling. Clean around
the hook assembly with a soft brush to remove
lint. Put a very small drop of oil on the hook in
the region where the bobbin basket assembly
and the rotating hook meet. The bobbin basket
is the portion of the hook that the bobbin case
snaps into. The bobbin basket remains stationary
while the hook rotates around the basket. The oil
lubricates the region where these two components
interlock. A drop of oil in the region indicated will
work its way back into the interlocking area of the
hook and bobbin basket.
The frequency of lubrication depends upon the usage of the machine. Lubricating is recommended
before running the machine if it has not been used regularly, or every other bobbin change if used
frequently. After oiling, always stitch through a scrap piece of fabric, as oil may cling to thread.Over-
oiling can cause excess dripping from the bobbin assembly. Lack of lubricant may be noticed by a
change in the sound of the machine and will affect stitch quality.
Cleaning the Touch-Screen Display
Use a soft rag dampened with isopropyl alcohol to gently wipe the display and remove any marks.
Never use any other chemicals to clean your display as they may adversely affect the touch-screen
response and clarity.
