OILING THE KENMORE ROTARY
A sewing machine, like every other piece of machinery
needs oiling to insure easy running and to prevent
unneces-
sary wear of the parts which bear upon each other.
If a machine is used continuously IT SHOULD BE OILED
EVERY DAY. With moderate use an occasional oiling is
suf-
ficient. The pictures on the previous page show by arrows the
points where oil should be
applied.
ONE DROP OF OIL at
each point is plenty. More than this will retard rather than
help the action of the machine. Oil holes are provided in the
arm of the machine for parts which cannot be directly
reached
.
.
To oil the works underneath the
bedplate,
turn the head
back and apply oil to poinis as shown in Figure 2
.
The head fastening screw (see Figure No. 1) on the bed-
plate near the base of the arm must be taken out before the
head can be turned back for oiling.
IF THE MACHINE RUNS HARD it is due to lack of proper
oiling of some
bearings.
Should the machine become gummed
from long standing or poor
oil,
apply kerosene to all the
bearings to remove the gum; then run the machine rapidly,
wipe clean and OIL THOROUGHLY WITH GOOD SEW
-
lNG MACHINE OIL before beginning to
sew.
Occasionally, place one drop of oil on tip of finger and
apply around outer rim of shuttle, race, and centerpin
