SECTION IV - Taking Care of Your Machine
Your machine has been meticulously designed and
manufactured to give you a lifetime of sewing pleasure. Do

radiator or in direct sunlight. The machine is selflubricating,
however, the area around the bobbin and hook must be
cleaned each time the machine has had extensive use. Do
not dismantle the machine further than explained on these

and pure soap.
