4. Machine oil level
1. Information about lubrication
1) During first machine start-up, or after long idle time, it should be started in idle mode (2000 to 2500 rpm
for about 10 minutes)
2) During machine operation, insert a paper oil level indicator under the hook in order to check if the amount
of oil dosed to it is correct. Oil level control should be carried out over the course of 5 seconds.
3) Before starting work, always check if the oil level in the oil reservoir is at the correct level.
2. Regulation of the oil dosage to the hook
5. Correct oil dosage to the hook
1. Checking oil dosage, shown below, should be carried out before start of sewing. Take care not to exces-
sively increase/decrease amount of oil in the hook. If there is too little oil, the hook will be subject to exces-
sive heating or seizing up. If there is too much oil, the sewn product can be stained by oil.
2. The amount of oil in the hook must be adjusted in such a way, that it does not change during three checks
(on three separate pieces of paper).
