Oiling the Rotary Hook

Oiling the Rotary Hook

Oiling essential for every machine to function properly and to keep your machine in good condition.

There are two main areas to oil on a regular basis: the rotary hook and the main reservoir. The recommendations below are based on actual production use of the machine. For instance, oiling the Rotary Hook is recommended for every 4 hours of production. That does not mean to oil the hook twice a day if you are NOT actively using the machine. Applying too much oil can cause problems.

Oiling the Rotary Hook
For every 4 hours of production, 1 drop of oil should be placed on the Rotary Hook.

1) Remove the bobbin case before oiling.
2) Place 1 drop of oil on the bottom of the Rotary Hook, see picture below:embroidery machine oiling procedure.
3) After oiling the hook and with the bobbin case still removed, press the trim button once. This will spread the oil evenly on the rotary hook. This distributes the oil evenly on the hook.

Main Reservoir
For every 8 hours of production, 2-3 drops of oil should be placed in the main reservoir.
