Free arm machine (illustration 54)
This machine disposes of a free arm. By removing the arm you can turn this machine into a
free-arm machine, which makes it easier to work on tubular pieces, such as trouser-legs and
sleeves.
Slide the part that you want to sew on to the arm and sew from the top. When you have
finished sewing with the free arm, you put the arm in its place again.

Oiling the machine (illustration 58)
The arrows in the picture show which points in the machine must be oiled. Before you apply
the oil, these spots must be cleaned. Apply one or two drops of sewing machine oil of a good
quality. Should the machine not function properly after it has not been used for a long time,
you must apply a few drops of oil at the marked spots. Then you allow the machine to run fast
for a few minutes with all the lids closed. Sewing machine oil is available at the sewing
machine specialist shop.
WARNING! Do not forget after oiling the machine to sew on a piece of waste material first, to
catch any superfluous sewing machine oil.
