Industrial Sewing Machine Safety Notes
Before Operating an Industrial Sewing Machine:
- Apply just one drop of oil to each of the designated holes using the supplied oil can daily.
- Over-oiling the sewing machine will encourage grime buildup and can lead to premature part failure.
- Pull the bobbin thread through the needle hole in the needle plate before starting to stitch.
- Never sew with the presser foot in a raised position.
- Hold the fabric firmly between your fingers and allow the feed dogs to pull the fabric.
