LUBRICATION AND CLEANING
Fig. 2. Oiling Ports, Front View
Clean and oil machine thoroughly when it is
received from factory.
Use SIHGER* OIL, "TYPE B" or "TYPE D".
Use "TYPE D" OIL when an oil is desired which
will produce a minimum of stain on fabrics.
Apply oil at each of the places on the machine
indicated by the arrows in Figs. 2 and 3.
When machine is in continuous use, apply oil
at least twice daily to insure easy running and to
prevent unnecessary wear.
Machine pulley (loose) should be repacked with
grease, at least once each year.
Using short bristled brush (not point of scissors
or shears) clean out all lint or other waste from
around
ho~k area, and between moving parts on
underside of throat plate.
Close all covers after oiling and cleaning. Wipe
off
excess oil from surfaces of machine that may
come
in contact with material.
NEEDLES

and 269w17.
Catalog 3072 (16x100), for Machines 269w7
and 269w14.
Catalog 1628 (68x5), for all other varieties
of Class 269w Machines.
Size of needle is determined by weight of thread
and type of material being sewn.
THREAD
Use only left twist thread in needle. Either
right or left twist thread can be used in bobbin.

TO ADJUST THE STARTING LEVER
Starting lever F3, Fig. 27, page 8 carries en-
gaging arm K2, Fig. 31 and all the recoil absorbing
mechanism.
With the bell crank pawl A2, in catch C3, Fig.
28, there should be approximately 1/32 inch space
between high point of camming face of fixed pulley
N3, and interlocking arm K3, as shown in Fig. 27.
To obtain this setting, loosen swivel lock nut
G3, Fig. 29 and remove hinge screw H3. Turn swivel
in or out as required. (Each full turn of swivel
equals approximately 1/32 inch of adjustment.)
Replace hinge screw H3 and tighten swivel lock
nut G3.
TO ADJUST "V" BELT
Keep belt tension only heavy enough to drive
machine without slipping. Excessive belt tension
will cause erratic stopping, shortening life of belt
and loose pulley bearing.
With machine in an idle position, adjust belt
tightener, which carries motor, to obtain a distance
of 1-7/8 inches when belt is compressed as shown
in
Fig. 30.
TO ADJUST THE ENGAGING ARM
Engaging arm K2, Fig. 31 drives idler pulley
N2 forward and forces "V" belt M2 forward and up
the face of fixed pulley, thereby driving the machine.
With machine in operation, "V" belt M2 must
raise off bottom of idler pulley 1/32 inch, as shown
in
Fig. 31.
To adjust, loosen pinch screw W2 and tap arm
K2 in against engaging button Y2 until "V" belt
raises 1/32 inch when machine is operated. Tighten
screw W2.
WARNING· A raise greater than 1/32 inch will
cause excessive belt tension.

TO TIME THE STOP MOTION
Trip points X and W, Fig. 25, page 8 force pawl
A2,
Fig. 28, page 9 out of engagement with starting
bell crank 82, Fig. 28, thereby bring recoil mechan-
ism into action to stop machine.
Trip Point X - determines when machine will enter
stop position -
To adjust, bring starting lever F3, Fig. 27,
page 8 forward unti I pawl A2, Fig. 28 drops into
first catch C3. Then set trip point X, Fig. 25 so
that, when rotating machine by hand, starting lever
F3, Fig. 27 will drop bock against fixed pulley
N3, Fig. 27 just after interlocking notch M3, Fig.
27 has passed interlocking arm K3, Fig. 27.
Once properly adjusted, trip point X will not
require readjustment except when feed cam is re-
timed.
Trip Point W - determines speed at which machine
enters stop position -
Trip point W will usually require readjustment
whenever the machine speed is changed.
Excessive speed when entering stop position
will cause rapid wear and breakage of recoil mechan-
ism. Therefore, on a machine not equipped with a
brake, check the trip point W often, for as machine
wears in and runs more freely, it will require a
longer coast period.
Adjust trip point W so that machine consistently
enters stop position at minimum speed when sewing
heaviest part of material.
TO INSTALL THE STOP MOTION BRAKE
Remove starting rod adjusting screw H3, Fig. 29,
page 9. Position brake bracket E4 as shown in
Fig. 32 and secure bracket to starting rod with
screw A4. Insert small end of spring support 84 into
small end of spring C4. Insert screw 04 through
bracket until it enters spring support 84. Continue
to turn in screw 04 until tension is applied to spring
C4.

Fig. 32. Stop Motion Brake
Move starting lever G4 into running position.
Loosen lock screw H4 and turn adjusting stud (ec-
centric) J4 until the brake lining K4 clears the
fixed pulley by approximately 1/32 inch. n --
tighten lock screw H4.
Remove trip point W, Fig. 25, page 8. Run ma-
chine and adjust for correct tension on spring C4,
Fig. 32 by turning screw 04 until interlocki{lg arm
