2. Whenever the oil level drops to the LOW mark, add more oil.
3. When the sewing machine is run after the oil reservoir has been lled, oil can be seen splashing on the oil sight window. However, the
amount of oil splash has no relation to the amount of oil in the reservoir so there is no need to worry.
4. When the oil has become dirty, replace it with fresh oil. Unscrew the oil plug from the oil reservoir when draining.
5. When using a new sewing machine or one that has not been used for a long time let it idle for about ten minutes at 3,000 to 3,500 sti/min to
run it in.
(Caution) 1. Verify that the lubricating oil is properly circulating by watching it through the oil sight window.
2. Remove any fiberous dust from the oil pump filter screen and the oil reservoir.
3. When the lubrication oil has become dirty, drain it through the oil drain screw cap and fill it with new JUKI New De-
frix Oil No.1.
4. Verify that the oil level is above "LOW' mark.
5. Clean up the oil reservoir magnet with a cloth.

HIGH mark
LOW mark
Oil reservoir
Oil sight window
1. Before operation, ll the oil reservoir with JUKI New Defrix Oil No.1 up to the HIGH mark.
2. Whenever the oil level drops to the LOW mark, add more oil.
3. When the sewing machine is run after the oil reservoir has been lled, oil can be seen splashing on the oil sight window. However, the
amount of oil splash has no relation to the amount of oil in the reservoir so there is no need to worry.
4. When the oil has become dirty, replace it with fresh oil. Unscrew the oil plug from the oil reservoir when draining.
5. When using a new sewing machine or one that has not been used for a long time let it idle for about ten minutes at 3,000 to 3,500 sti/min to
run it in.
(Caution) 1. Verify that the lubricating oil is properly circulating by watching it through the oil sight window.
2. Remove any fiberous dust from the oil pump filter screen and the oil reservoir.
3. When the lubrication oil has become dirty, drain it through the oil drain screw cap and fill it with new JUKI New De-
frix Oil No.1.
4. Verify that the oil level is above "LOW' mark.
5. Clean up the oil reservoir magnet with a cloth.
Adjustment of oil amount for the face plate components.
Amount of lubricating oil supplied to the face plate components such as needle bar crank 2is adjustable by turning adjusting pin 1: bring the
dot mark 3engraved on the adjusting pin close to needle bar crank 2to minimize or farthest from the needle bar crank 2to maximize the
amount of oil maximize the amount of oil.
