Points of lubrication
Every surface on a machine, which is in movable contact with any other point, must be lubricated. This is true even if the operators manual does not indicate the need to lubricate every point. A small drop of oil on each point is sufficient. Take off the machine covers and rotate the handwheel in the normal direction of rotation. Observe and note every movable contact point on the machine. This includes the visualizing of shafts within bushings, etc. Perform this exercise thoroughly while lubricating the machine, and you will soon find it quick to lubricate every point without fail. Please note that manuals usually have very poor depictions of oiling points.
Each lubrication point should be oiled every four hours of use. The hook race, and corresponding bobbin case or bobbin case base, and the needle bar, all require particular attention to lubrication. These are some of the primary wear areas on lockstitch sewing machines, (the needle bar on chainstich machines). These points may be oiled more thoroughly and/or frequently. If oil contamination of the material does not prove to be a problem, it would be best to oil the hook race at each change of the bobbin, especially with a new hook assembly. Of course this is easy to accomplish on machines in which the bobbin is loaded from the top of the bed, and difficult with bobbins that are inserted under the bed.
