Sewing Educational Warehouse  \nTuning up your machine  \nModel specific service adjustments page 20-32  \nThere are three main points to a tune-up on a sewing machine.  \n-Cleaning and oiling  \n-Hook and feed timing  \n-Internal tension adjustment  \nStart by removing the covers on your machine.  \nDO NOT START ANY REPAIRS WITH OUT UNPLUGGING THE MACHINE FROM THE WALL OUTLET  \nRemove the screws on the top cover. Gently lift the cover off of the machine. Fig. A. Different models have top cover screws in different spots. Some 158 models you simply pull off the top cover (there will be no screws) .  \nCheck for thread or lint caught in any of the parts in the top of the machine  \nOpen the needle bar cover. Check for any thread that may be caught in the take-up. Fig. B. By turning the hand wheel toward you, you can see if there is anything caught.  \nRemoving covers continued  \nRemove the screws on the bottom covers for open arm machines. Fig. A. locating all of the screws may be tricky but when they are all removed the covers should come off easily. Remove the covers and check for thread or lint caught in any parts.  \nFor flat bed machines simply lay the machine on its back to check it.  \nRemove the bobbin case and hook. Fig. B. Check all parts of the hook for burrs. If you have to polish any from the hook be very careful to lightly polish and do not damage it. The hook must be smooth orthe thread will get caught. After you check the hook make sure thereis no thread caught around the hook. Remove any you find.  \nCleaning and lubrication  \nThe best way to remove lint from the machine is with compressed air. Blow all the lint from the machine. Remove all lint from the gears and again from the bobbin area and feed dogs.  \nWhen oiling your machine, make sure you use a good quality oiler and clear sewing machine oil.  \nThis type of oiler is good because it has an extendable spout and only lets out small drops of oil. A drop of oil is the amount of oil left on the tip of a needle if you dipped it in oil.  \nOil all moving parts in the needle bar area. Fig. A. Make sure only one drop is put on each part. Clean off any excess with a soft cloth. Excess oil will find its way onto the fabric.  \nOil all moving parts in the bottom of the machine. Fig. B. Do not oil the motor. Again use small drops of oil. Grease any gears with light sewing machine gear grease.  \nCleaning and oiling continued  \nOil the main parts shown and oil the bobbin winder. Be sure to remove excess oil from the winder before you run it. (bobbin winder is on the top cover on some models) [Fig. next](Fig. next) page.  \nClean all lint from the hook race. Oil the hook and hook pin.  \nRemove the bobbin case and push the release levers away from the race cover.  \nRemove the race cover and hook.  \nTurn the hand wheel towards you a few times to work in the oil to the whole machine.","cbCaintJIOhk2gCS","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaintJIOhk2gCS","pdf",5593757,32,"English","# Tuning Up Your Machine\n## Cleaning and Oiling\n## Hook and Feed Timing\n## Internal Tension Adjustment","[{\"question\":\"What are the three main points of a sewing machine tune-up in this guide?\",\"answer\":\"The guide lists three points: cleaning and oiling, hook and feed timing, and internal tension adjustment.\"},{\"question\":\"What safety step is required before starting repairs?\",\"answer\":\"Unplug the machine from the wall outlet before starting any repairs.\"},{\"question\":\"How should lint and oiling be handled for proper maintenance?\",\"answer\":\"Use compressed air to blow out lint from the machine, gears, bobbin area, and feed dogs, then apply small drops of quality sewing machine oil to moving parts while avoiding oiling the motor and cleaning off excess.\"}]","Kenmore 158 - Service Guide - Tuning Up Your Machine | PDF",81]
