Cleaning Keep the machine clean and unclogged to prevent machine trouble. Keep the machine clean: Remove dirt with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, clean with the detergent-soaked cloth, then wipe off the detergent with a cloth dampened with (hot) water. Caution: Do not clean with benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents. Before working the machine, move the needle bar case all the way to the right and left, and remove oil and dirt around the needle bar guide rail and the shaft of the presser foot from the back of the needle bar case usinga cloth 88 BAS-A16A- BES-1210AC2. Oiling Lubrication is necessary for keeping the machine in good condition. The BAS-416 oil system uses a wick. Every day before using the machine, add 1-2 drop(s) of oil at the point indicated by each arrow in the figure. NOTE: Be sure to use only Brother-specified sewing machine oil, Brother or Sewing Lub 10 for lubrication. 1. Add oil at each point indicated by the arrow when the machine is used for the first time after unpacking or if left unused for a long period of time. ‘Add a drop of cil atthe railof the rotary hook.
