SECTION 5. CARE FOR THE MACHINE
Oiling the Machine
Oil the machine in all areas shown on this page at least once a year; otherwise the machine can become sluggish or will knock loudly. If you use the machine
frequently, oil the machine under the top cover about every three months. In case machine is not used for an extended time, oil it before sewing. Use good quality
sewing machine oil. One or two drops of oil is sufficient. Remove excess oil, otherwise it may stain fabric.
Kenmore sewing machine oil isavailable at your nearest Sears retail store.
NOTE: Unplug the machine before oiling. Remove needle and put needle bar in full down position.
