Maintenance and lubrication
Precautions to be taken when handling oil
* In the event the oil gets in the eye or adheres
on skin, immediately wash it off in order to pre-
vent irritation and rash.
* If swallowed accidentally, immediately seek for
medical advice in order to prevent diarrhea and
vomiting.
* Keep the oil away from children.
* Oil disposal is obliged by legislation. Dispose of
the oil properly in compliance with the relevant
legislation.
CAUTION:
Be sure turn OFF the power to the sewing machine and disconnect the plug
from the wall outlet when cleaning or lubricating the sewing machine.

Lubricating the machine

Use the machine oil supplied with the sewing
machine, or New Defrix Oil No. 1 or equiva

・
Lubricate the machine once a day if you use
it every day.
・
Apply a larger quantity of oil (approximately
5 to 7 drops) to the relevant points of sewing
machine after unpacking or when using the
sewing machine after an extended period of
disuse (approximately two months).
Do not apply an excessive quantity oil to the
