Sir Snips’ Daily Snippet
Oil is not motor grease.
Before maintenance, unplug the machine. At the oiling points shown in your Featherweight manual, use quality sewing-machine oil—a single drop at each marked point is generally sufficient. If your motor has grease tubes, use the proper motor lubricant there; never substitute sewing-machine oil or ordinary gear grease. Some later or self-lubricating motors don’t require motor lubricant, so check your exact model’s manual before feeding it anything.
Same machine, two appetites, darling. Serve the correct course. 😉
Did you know your Featherweight uses two different lubricants?
