5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

Regularly clean lint and dust from the bobbin area and feed dogs using a small brush. Ensure the machine is unplugged before cleaning.

5.2 Needle Replacement

Replace needles frequently, especially when working with different fabric types or if the needle becomes dull or bent. A dull needle can cause skipped stitches or damage to fabric.

6. Troubleshooting Tips

• Thread Jamming: If thread jams, turn the hand-wheel counter-clockwise manually to ensure smooth operation before restarting. Check for proper threading and bobbin installation.
• Skipped Stitches: Ensure the correct needle type is used for the fabric. Replace the needle if it is dull or bent. Check upper thread tension.
• Uneven Stitches: Adjust the tension dial. Ensure the bobbin is wound evenly and inserted correctly.
• Fabric Not Moving: Check if the presser foot is lowered. Ensure the feed dogs are engaged.
