7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your sewing machine:

• Cleaning: Regularly clean lint and dust from the feed dogs, needle plate, and looper area using a small brush.
• Oiling: Apply a small amount of sewing machine oil to designated oiling points as indicated in the full manual or by a service technician.
• Needle Replacement: Replace needles frequently, especially when working with different fabric types or if the needle becomes dull or bent. Use DP5*80-95 needles.
