Note 1: Fill the machine with oil when the oil level is down to about one-third full in the oil sight glass.
If oil is not added and the oil drops below this level, there is the danger that the machine may seize during operation.
Note 2: Be sure to let the machine operate for a while after adding the oil.
Note 3: If there is no more oil on the felt of the shuttle race base, problems with sewing may result, so add oil to the felt until it
is slightly soaked.
Note 4: Use only specified Brother oil (Nisseki Mitsubishi Sewing Lube 10N;VG10) for the machine oil.
