2. Oiling
To extend the machine's service life, supply oil to the following places at regular intervals.
The models BES-116AC adopt centralized wick lubrication (including rotary hooks). Before
daily operation, supply oil as needed while checking the oil level through the oil window.
(Note) • When oiling, be sure to supply Brother's machine oil (Nisseki Sewing Lube #10 or the equivalent) using
the dropper.
• Excessive oiling may cause the material to be stained.
• Lubricate the rotary hook.
